Celebrities 'fake profile' on yahoo answers with only 1 question they all asked?

Question

There is Barack Obama, Stephen Hawking, Brad Pitt - all famous.

They all seem to have profiles on Yahoo Answers in where only one common type of question has been asked with soooo many replies (in the 1000s)...why

Is it a publicity stunt

Answer 1

i would say that most of these profiles are made up ones by little kids that have nothing better to do. the same thing happens on myspace and all of those networking sites as well. its possible that some of these celebs really have a profile on here to find out stuff about society but if you look at the "celeb" profiles on here, youll see that majority were made the same date about 2 years ago... so someone was obviously just messing around

Answer 2

who will really know for sure ?

Answer 3

Probably just some deal with Yahoo!.

Answer 4

i think these profiles are real....because of thier OFFICIAL seal, and they didnt answer any questions, they just asked one or two.  i belive it babe!

Answer 5

We dont need celebs around here anyway .

Its just for publicity, if it really is  them

They do it on Ebay sometimes too.

Everyone goes "oooh Oprah is selling her toothbrush", and they pay like $6,000 for something that cost $5.

  Of course, its for charity.. still its a $6,000 toothbrush.

Answer 6

They're people faking it for a laugh. I've come across a list of "celebs". The people behind it want to see if  anyone will believe it's the real thing, but no one does. They just get a kick out of it. Apparently, Michael Jackson is on here. And there's been a few Miley's too.
