Ashton Kutcher hits back at Village Voice on Twitter
The actor has taken the newspaper to task on Twitter after it criticised a child prostitution awareness campaign supported by his charity
Ashton Kutcher is a Twitter in line with the Village Voice newspaper about child prostitution awareness campaign that he supports and finances involved.
Kutcher and his wife, Demi Moore, has recently launched a series of ads with Hollywood actors like Sean Penn and Justin Timberlake, under the banner of "Real Men Don 't buy girls". As part of the campaign, supported by the couple 's Demi and Ashton Foundation, which displays figures suggesting that 100000-300000 children each year are cited children prostitutes.
But after the Village Voice, which has been led by a two-month investigation into child prostitution figures in the U.S., this figure is exaggerated enormously. In an article titled Real Men get their information straight, the newspaper said on Wednesday that it had only been 8263 arrests for child prostitution in the last ten years in the U.S..
Kutcher hit back quickly on his Twitter account. "Hey @ Village Voice speaks of data, maybe you can help me ... How much $ is your" escorts 'in your classified ad on overleaf make last year? "He wrote, in the first of a series of missives . Kutcher later added: "Hey @ Village Voice Speaking of data ... How many of your girls are selling in your ads you do age verification to '
Later tweeted Kutcher: "Hey @ Village Voice, hows the action of the 15-year-old victim, which helped to enslave you, they'll claim, \?" And later added: "Hey @ Village Voice I '!! M BTW I just started playing it on TV stupid" The Village Voice, said: "." \ OK @ aplusk we' ll bite. Tell us the hard facts you have gathered. We '. Ll of you fact-check "the actor replied:" Hey @ Village Voice, when the online data dispute I want 've about the consumption of child pornography or [collected the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children] the hard facts from lmk "and finally:" Hey @ Village Voice you keep collecting a check from the sale of Girls on back page and allow them to help people who give a F ** k ".
The Village Voice responded via Twitter ".. @ aplusk Don 't run fake statistics, which are then used by millions in spending on \ justify consciousness' victims need beds and advice"
Kutcher and Moore 's campaign is also under fire for using humor to the very facts about child prostitution in the United States will highlight, but the couple unrepentant. In an interview with CNN at the launch of the campaign in April, Moore said: "If we want those who have no concept that [they] really exists, we can in a way in which it 's going to be fulfilled reached have to do more with interest and sometimes that requires a bit of humor.
