CNN’s day of reckoning arrived last night.

As promised during Ashton Kutcher’s Twitter race with CNN to one million followers, Ashton arrived in Atlanta to “ding dong ditch” Ted Turner’s house.

But, once again, CNN got punk’d.

Nothing that Ted’s “doesn’t really have an accessible house…or an accessible doorbell”, Ashton and team decided to go after the media empire itself. Last night, Ashton unfurled a banner with his Twitter name—aplusk—over CNN’s neon logo on the roof of the Atlanta headquarters.

Earlier on, Ashton, Demi and a group of loyal Tweeps arrived at a Ted’s Montana Grill restaurant (Ted Turner’s restaurant in Atlanta), where they neatly stacked hundreds of boxes of Ding Dongs in front of the restaurant, then each person banged a bronze bell out front.

The support for World Malaria Day on Twitter is outstanding! Thanks to everyone for keeping the spotlight on malaria and showing how every individual can help save a life.

Be sure to check out a video on the Twitter Blog that shows the whole story arc of this phenomenal adventure, starting when @aplusk challenged CNN to a race to a million followers—and malaria emerged as the victor!

So far, Ashton Kutcher, CNN and others have pledged over 65,000 nets to the fight against malaria. And individual Tweeters have donated almost 6,000 mosquito nets through malarianomore.org.

Keep up the great work, keep tweeting and follow @malarianomore to keep up with the latest news!

Twitter Nation, you guys are amazing! This has been an incredible couple of days—all thanks to you, Ashton and everyone who has helped raise awareness by leveraging your voices through Twitter.

Here’s my personal thank you to all of you for your efforts (pardon the cheesy hotel room decor)! Let’s keep an eye toward World Malaria Day on April 25th…keep tweeting, keep raising awareness and keep saving lives!!

Best,
Scott
