LOS ANGELES, CA - It was almost one week ago that millions of people were told that Charlie Sheen was hiring a marketing intern to assist Sheen with his online social networking, this buzz came as a result of a tweet on Charlie Sheen's Twitter account, that turned out to be nothing more than a Twitter endorsement for Internships.com.
The national media took to the story of Charlie Sheen's intern and the word spread like wildfire which only gained sheen more of a following and achieved more click-through's via Sheen's endorsement tweet. A click-through is each time someone clicks on the link on Sheen's tweet. Many companies, organizations and websites are now paying celebrities and highly followed people on twitter to advertise their product or service, and the more people that click on that endorsed link, the more money that celebrity or highly followed people will earn.
Internships.com refused to comment on just how much Charlie Sheen earned as a result of posting the endorsement tweet on Twitter.com. They did confirm that it was the highest paid tweet in history and that can only lead us to believe that Sheen's earnings are in excess of $50,000 since that was the previous record earning for an endorsement tweet based on compensation for a specified amount for each click-through.
Charlie Sheen and Internships.com said that Sheen's intern would be announced by March 12th, 2011 and to no surprise there was no mention of who Charlie Sheen's intern is. This just tells us that indeed this was nothing more than an advertisement that Sheen posted via twitter because of his high amount of followers and he never had intentions on hiring an intern to begin with. Having such a naturally high following, who would think that he would need someone to get him more followers anyways, he is doing a good enough job at this on his own.
Maybe Charlie Sheen should hire someone to get him out of the hole that he is digging with this highly buzzed hoax? This story is once again taking Charlie Sheen from Hollywood Fame to Hollywood Shame as the leading Hall of Shamer.
While Charlie Sheen's Twitter post for an intern may have been a hoax and strictly an advertising blitz, he is not doing as bad as some people may think.
