Draw a cartoon, winner takes $100 bounty

Aamir Khan blogs.

Amitabh Bachchan blogs.

Now, Shah Rukh Khan plans to blog.

Call me a skeptic, call me a pessimist, call me a critic, call me whatever.

For some reason, I just dont buy the idea of these celebrities blogging. I think all of it is bull. Worthless marketing gimmicks. From some of the blog posts, it already seems as if one of their goals is mud-slinging and promoting their own affiliations.

In an effort to mock this so called fad of celebrity blogging, here’s an open contest for all of you - come up with a good cartoon / caricature on this fad and the best one takes home $100. The contest may very well turn out to be a dud, but who knows, we might uncover some Hugh MacLeodians amongst us .

Ofcourse this is your opinion, but somehow I think, atleast amir’s blog is reasonably genuine for a celebrity like him. He has been writing it for quite sometime now, I am sure he is using it as another avenue to show off his creativity with out indulging too much in to self promotion. Some of the content is devoted to maintaining connection with fans, knowing what they want.
I wouldnt go as far as calling these blogs as bull, I am surprised though, because one of the reasons most of us blog is to tell the world that we exist, we know something, we have an opinion…. when enough people start caring about it, we become “celebrities”…. ironical.. isnt it…?

chandoo…

they may very well end up blogging sincerely, who knows…i might end up eating my own words if that happens. In fact,it would be great if that happens - you’d at least get to see an alternate personality. but the skeptic in me thinks this isnt happening.

not to mention that Indian media is a bitch. few talk abt jaipur & other imp things. the fact that AB blogs has become the prime focus. this irks me even more.
