		OoTheNigerian on May 26, 2011 \| parent \| context \| favorite \| on: Ashton Kutcher Joins the Airbnb Team I think you guys are being unnecessarily hard on Kutcher. It is a flawed assumption that being a celebrity (sportsman, musician) means you have no additional value. There are medical doctors than when on to play football (the real one); Nigeria has a Cornell Physics PhD candidate that does rap. etc. Why do you guys (critics) believe you can add better value to AirBnB than Aston. I believe celebrities need to do a little bit extra to show they are more than what is seen on TV. So take a moment to stop beefing and say Congrats AirBnB for a nice coup.

It isn't that he is a celebrity, it is that he is Ashton Kutcher (Michael Kelso).

This isn't Natalie Portman we are talking about....

or even Dolph Lundgren:
