What started off as a hopeful invitation from Sgt. Scott Moore, has ignited a YouTube craze that is now taking over the Marine Corps. Earlier this month, Moore uploaded a video on YouTube asking actress, Mila Kunis to be his date at the Greenville, NC Marine Corps Ball in November. Before long, the story- and video- went viral, surfacing on news stations all over the country. Here it is:
The video itself was brought to Mila's attention during an interview with Justin Timberlake, her co-star in their new movie "Friends with Benefits". Although she hadn't heard about it, Timberlake certainly did; he convinced her that she had to accept the invitation "for her country". The popular actress agreed to go, which has prompted Marines all over to try their luck within the celebrity dating pool.
The first video to surface after Sgt Moore was- appropriately- from a female Marine asking Justin Timberlake to be her date at her ball in November. And now? The YouTube craze is in full blast.
Numerous Marines have posted videos recently asking celebrities such as Scarlett Johansson, Miley Cirus, Jessica Biel, and even Betty White- who respectfully declined. Terminator star, Linda Hamilton chimed in and told the dissed Marine that she would go. I have a feeling that this is just the tip of the iceberg and, apparently, so do batallion commanders throughout the Marine Corps who have issued guidance on steering clear of the YouTube frenzy. Will it cease? I doubt it, but only time will tell.
