How Ashton Kutcher Got To 1 Million…You Can't UNFOLLOW Him!

We were all happy for Ashton Kutcher and his beating CNN to 1 Million followers on Twitter, but then we found out that it's IMPOSSIBLE to UNfollow the celebrity.  Yes, we've tried over and over, and Twitter has disabled the UNFOLLOW button on @aplusk's page! Does this bother anyone? It makes sense, after all, doesn't it? This little contest has created more buzz than the Internet has seen in months, propelling the company to main stream vocabulary.  Are the founders (who will be appearing on Oprah today to watch her first tweet), going too far with their power?

NOTE: It is still possible to unfollow CNN, apparently Ashton is the only Twitterer that you can not unfollow at this point.

im guessing you couldnt unfollow him because the millionth follower would get every game EA makes in 2009 for free AND be added as a character in the sims 3. pretty big reason not to let people unfollow and try to time it so they get all that ish.

Wow, that's funny as hell. I wonder if it was an inside job, perhaps Kevin Rose himself removed the "unfollow" button.

This is insane. I get 10-20 tweets from him now and can't read any of my other friends tweets. He shows up but doesn't appear on my Following list (the other place to try and remove him). Twitter is playing an unfair game. I don't care for these tweets and I want to delete him.
