Diddy Goes Commercial

Don’t you feel bad for him?

Sean “Diddy” Combs complained about the “... too high” price of gas and pleaded for free oil from his “Saudi Arabia brothers and sisters” in a YouTube video posted Wednesday. The hip-hop mogul said he is now flying on commercial airlines instead of in private jets, which Combs said had previously cost him $200,000 and up for a roundtrip between New York and Los Angeles.

“I’m actually flying commercial,” Diddy said before walking onto an airplane, sitting in a first-class seat and flashing his boarding pass to the camera. “That’s how high gas prices are. I’m at the gate right now. This is really happening, proof gas prices are too high. Tell whoever the next president is we need to bring gas prices down.”

  3. Anyone want to hazard a guess which candidate he’s backing? Probably not the one that wants to do something about oil prices…

  6. Finally!  Someone able to offer real proof that gas prices are too high! Thank you Diddy for raising awareness about high gas prices.  After watching you board that plane, I was like OMG I totally didn’t realize how expensive gas was! I never notice that it costs me nearly $100 to fill up my minivan!  Do you also think this might explain why food costs are rising? Seriously, food needs to be transported which requires gas, so maybe since gas costs more food will cost more? This is really a very complicated equation that I think needs deciphering by someone of your extensive economic background.  Let me know what you come up with.  Also, I am AMAZED by your quick solution to the high gas problem!  We should just TELL “whoever” our next President is to lower them.  Absolute genius!  Thanks again for the eye opener.

  7. Maybe Diddy should do what LOTS of people (I’d venture in the high-90s, percentage wise) do and LIVE WHERE HE WORKS.  All that flying back and forth, even commercially, is leaving a huge carbon footprint, after all.  We wouldn’t want Al and his nighttime raiders to come and get Diddy for ruining the planet….
