I saw this on reddit and figured I'd link it here: http://mashable.com/2009/10/07/drew-carey-twitter-bid/
Basically, a guy was diagnosed with cancer and decided to auction the twitter account @drew. The money made from the auction will be donated to Livestrong.
The BIG part: Drew Carey placed an initial bid of $25,000 for the name. As of today, he has decided to donate $1,000,000 (yes, one million) if he gets 1,000,000 followers on his twitter account (@drewfromtv) by the end of the year. Even IF he does not get 1,000,000 followers, he will prorate it (ie, if he only gets 500,000 followers, he'll donate $500,000).
So...if you have a twitter account, start following @drewfromtv
