Kim Kardashian Poses in a Coffin for World AIDS Day
Kim Kardashian is playing dead for a good cause -- a new campaign to raise awareness for World AIDS Day and
Keep A Child Alive.
The reality star joins celebs like
Lady Gaga and
Justin Timberlake in making a "Digital Life Sacrifice," wherein they stop using Twitter and Facebook in an effort to raise awareness and money for
Keep A Child Alive. Kardashian and others have shot provocative ads where they pose in coffins and have even filmed "last tweet and testament" videos. They will log off on Dec. 1 (World AIDS Day) and not sign back on until $1 million has been raised.
The event is organized by Alicia Keys, a global ambassador for the charity. Keys said no celebrity turned down her request to take part in the campaign. "Once I got people on the phone, and I was able to paint the concept for them, everybody was in," she told UK's
Daily Mail.
Leigh Blake, president and co-founder of Keep A Child Alive, added, "We're trying to sort of make the remark: Why do we care so much about the death of one celebrity as opposed to millions and millions of people dying in the place that we're all from?"
Keep a Child Alive is dedicated to providing life-saving treatment, care and support services to children and families affected by HIV/AIDS in Africa and India by directly engaging the global public in the fight against AIDS.

you are right sexy dead lady give me a break
My thoughts exactly! I am a hospice nurse and believe me,it is unspeakably tacky for her to pose like she is a sexy dead person, making a mockery of all the family and friends of those who have died with AIDS! What a narcissistic bimbo! And let her contribute a million freakin' dollars herself! That would be pocket change for her! The rest of us have real work to do!
Kim proves once & for all how shallow she is. But as long as so many people think she's "gorgeous" & worth rooting for, she's not going away.
Necrophiles of the world rejoice...

Amen to that one. Nail it down and bury it.
Salt and burn it lol
I agree with you, but, before that's done, they should throw in the rest of the Kardashian clan!
After all's said & done, she should just stay there !

Wouldn't your hand and a bottle of lotion be a million times cleaner and much more safe? And......from what I've heard here.....much more satisfying????? Seriously, you'de just be another number to her!
HA! You'll be sooo sorry rm444 .... "hitting" a dead girl??? Yuck.
wait, wait, wait...is this picture supposed to be helping FIGHT AIDS? What is it doing? I can see it if they made her look like an AIDS patient, but, this is just stupid.
