So, We Didn’t Punk’d Ashton (an update)

April 17, 2009 By Leave a Comment

Update: Most of you reading my previous post this morning likely thought that pulling off the punk’d wasn’t possible; and honestly, the odds where seriously stacked against us. However, Ashton only had the success that he’s had today because he had an outrageous idea and gave it a shot. The result? He won, got on Oprah, Larry King Live, CNN Breaking News email blast and raised almost $1M for the fight against malaria, all because he wasn’t afraid of failure.

At the end of the day, I’d rather try and fail a hundred times than never try at all.
