It's a project he began as , who I'm still not entirely clear on the specifics of what he does, but apparently it's a big deal. Oh wait he did that song "Bon, Bon." That's the dude? Hahahahah. Anyway woops, where was I? Oh right, so Walmart and Sheets energy strips, which no way I'm looking up what that means, were having a contest to send Pitbull to the Walmart with the most Facebook likes. Thorpe rallied his internet troops to generate likes for the remotest, shittiest seeming store they could find.
The (population 6,256) has won the grand prize with more than 71,000 likes, gaining huge momentum after Thorpe's campaign was made national by the Associated Press and eventually picked up on by Billboard, Gawker, CNN, NPR, Good Morning America, Yahoo, and other media outlets last week.
The best part? Pitbull has invited Thorpe to ride or die with him on the trip, although more likely ride and die, if I know anything about the sense of humor of internationally famous reggaeton guys who wear that kind of suit to dance in front of idiots on stage. He extended the invite in the amazing video above, in which he couldn't even bring himself to bespoil his mouth with Thorpe's name. Seems like this is going to work out wonderfully for everyone.

Wow, I feel like David Thorpe kind of has to go with him now. In theory that is really funny, but in practice I wonder if he feels bad for doing a shitty thing to another human being. One that is probably having the time of his life in Rio right now, but still. Now that I think about it even more there are probably a bunch of actual fans that are bummed out too, because there is no way they could make it to Alaska. Kind of a boner move if you ask me!
I think Pitbull will probably be ok.
Yeah dude, what a dick depriving real Pitbull fans of a chance to meet him. BOOOOOOOOO
