Kim Kardashian is Dead: "I'm Dead...Bring Me Back To Life"

"I'm dead...bring me back to life" reads the headline on the last post Kim left before giving her life (her digital life that is) for the Keep A Child Alive campaign.  Kim, along with Keeping Up With The Kardashian's mastermind and producer Ryan Seacrest, among other celebs, gave their digital lives to raise money and awareness about AIDS. 

The plan behind the campaign was to scare fans into donating money to bring their favorite celebs back to life...digital life.  Each participating celebrity vowed to stop tweeting, Facebooking, blogging, etc., until a full casket of money ($1,000,000 to be exact) is raised for the AIDS foundation.  Great idea in theory, however, much to the chugrin of the campain planners, the stunt is not doing as well as they thought it would.  As of Wednesday, a mere $70,000 was raised by the celebrities involved.  Seems fans don't care enough to digitally revive their favorite celebs to donate.  One of the draw backs in the campaign, and quite possibly the reason they haven't raised enough money is due to the fact that the minimum donation is $10.00 US.  Makes it difficult to donate in this economy.  Everyone wants to help out, especially for such a worthy cause, but the minimum amount really dampens the deal. 

Here is a look at the ad featuring our very own Mrs. Kim herself.  Kinda spooky.
