Pitbull Goes To Alaska
Performer and rap star, Pitbull, is a promoter of a project called "energy strips." When the company who makes that product promised their fans that they would send Pitbull to any Walmart in the U.S. that gets the most "likes" on Facebook, the people of the internet united to rig the competition. This is how Pitbull ended up travelling to remote Kodiak, Alaska, in July of 2012. Just to prove what a good sport he is, Pitbull not only made the journey, but he brought along the main organizer of the prank, David Thorpe.
