I was surfing Google video when I saw this (http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=6608847384993865667). It's a staged abduction of Brad Pitt for Jackass. It got me thinking, if someone actually abducted an A List actor and held him or her for public ransom, how much money would crazy fans and normal people send? How hard would governments work to get them back? Would they make a movie about it?

That video changed the way I looked at Brad Pitt.

And some actors should be abducted, never to be returned!

I think we should abduct him, along with others.

Hell! I'd pay them to KEEP 'em! :D

Are you kidding? In THIS sick fuckin' country? Fans would double-mortgage their houses for their idols. It makes me think, though: perhaps the FBI should kidnap famous actors and ransom them for money to balance the budget. Scientology alone could finance the war for a few years -- let's get Cruise and Travolta.

I vote Tom Cruise.

Sod that, just kill the damned thing.

I mean, uh. No! Kidnapping is wrong! etc.

I'd pay to keep some certain young, female celebreties

Yes, kidnapping is wrong, when they have a SOUL. Celebs aren't people.

I vote Tom Cruise.

Many would argue he's already been abducted.

I'd say that depends on the person in question. Though by and large, once you make the crossover from "famous" to "celebrity", let alone "celeb" or being an A-lister, I'd say yeah, you probably signed your soul away for it.

My personal opinion is that if this were to actually happen, it would be like SaveToby, only much much more public and to the 10th power. My guess is that they would get upwards of a billion dollars. And thats a conservative estimate. Of course, major corporations might see it in their PR interest to pay part of the ransom. My guess is they could pay upwards of 5 billion dollars. Again, conservative estimate. As for a movie, that is definite.

I vote Keira Knightly! :D :fluffle: :fluffle:

Anyone up for a poll for who to abduct?

Suggest more people.

So far:
Brad Pitt
Tom Cruise
John Travolta
Keira Knightly

I bet we could get E! to finance us. It would shoot their rattings through the roof.

Hayden Christensen. Take him and keep him!

Haha! I think every celebrity ever should have to go through this. After all, they're putting themselves at risk for the real thing by being famous in the first place...

Hayden Christensen. Take him and keep him!
I wouldn't mind keeping him. :p

I vote Tom Cruise.
Who's with me?

Yes! Abduct Tom Cruise and Pat Robertson. Put them in a little, windowless room together and lock the door.

I'm surprised no one has talked about abducting Jessica Alba yet. Not just for monetary gain mind you.

Nah. If you are going down that road, pick Salma Hayek.

I vote Tom Cruise.
Who's with me?Yes,but hasn't Tom Cruise already been abducted?:p and anally probed.
