P. Diddy's Plan for Economic Misery

fool.com — "[R]ight now, can you believe it, I am actually flying commercial," he explained. "That's how high gas prices are, OK? So I feel you." Then came the solution, "I want to give a shout out to all my Saudi Arabian brothers and sisters and all my brothers and sisters from all the countries that have oil, send me some oil for my jet"

    • niceguyjohnny, on 09/09/2008, -2/+0George Bush doesn't care about black people with private jets who don't want to spend the extra amount of money needed to fuel those jets because the price of fuel has risen!

    • AnAfricanOnline, on 09/09/2008, -0/+2Funny!!!!
    • GiggleStick, on 09/09/2008, -0/+4Not only that, but there's a tear on the leather of one of the seats. He tried to fix it with duct-tape, but it just didn't work. He's so ashamed!
    • VigRoco, on 09/09/2008, -5/+4Actually, we tried to drill up in ANWAR like 5 years ago, but the Democrats in Congress blocked it. We would have produced 10 billion barrels of oil by now and P. Diddy would have fuel for his jet.

      ...but I am glad he is flying commercial.
      • evilbob333, on 09/09/2008, -1/+5Drilling in ANWR actually passed both houses of congress in 1996 but Clinton vetoed, and that was 12 years ago.

  • paradigmxx, on 09/09/2008, -11/+0Diddy is "BUGGIN' tha f*ck out".
  • getatmedigg, on 09/09/2008, -0/+19LOL! Better yet. why doesn't Diddy just hit up Chavez? I still love Diddy in the Proactiv ads though. "Proactiv helps to preserve my sexy" and "moisturize my situation". Priceless.
    • djholybolt, on 09/09/2008, -0/+1Only diddy can get away with 'moisturize my situation.' If anyone else said that, they'd get their ass beat.
  • tomsentest, on 09/09/2008, -0/+43The fact that he's complaining about not being able to fly on a private jet says a lot about celebrities and their complete disconnection with reality.
    • kefkaantakrist, on 09/09/2008, -9/+0Are you kidding? I think it's an example of how, even though we're so different, we're kinda all the same too.

      He has to give up the private jet to fly regular (probably 1st class). An average American has to trade in his SUV for a fuel efficient car.

      I'm sure there are people in some countries, and even people in this country, who would think "Aww boo hoo... they have to drive a more sensible vehicle... poor guys /s I've never even ***** seen a car." (maybe not the last part for Americans so much)

      All that said, if he can tolerate flying in a regular airplane then I don't know why he was wasting so much money flying a private jet. But hey, that's the way this country spends money... live each day like it might be your last! Hell, if I was going to die tomorrow, I'd damn-near guarantee my credit cards would be maxed out too.

      But bravo on him having the sensibility to stop blowing the money now that it has become impractical. Some people live beyond their means as a way of life.
      • Danger668, on 09/09/2008, -0/+2It is quite easy to stop blowing money when money becomes tight. How ingenious!
    • Arcanis2007, on 09/09/2008, -2/+0ok it is true that celebrities ARE not too connected with the "normal" world. But still, I think that just the fact that he is realizing something is happening to the world is actually a great step.
      • Trick07, on 09/09/2008, -0/+1If they realize anything it is their own misery. Oh-boo-hoo. I can't fly my personal jet, I have to fly first class.

        I'm sure those out there who are about to lose their job or home feel much better knowing that some stupid celebrity is feeling the pain and has to settle for first-class instead of the personal jet.
    • bloodomen13, on 09/09/2008, -0/+1ya know, I think this is the one time in my life that I wish a plane would crash...
  • xbxoxy1, on 09/09/2008, -0/+36P. Diddy = *****
  • capncrunch84, on 09/09/2008, -0/+30***** puff daddy.
  • DickyT83, on 09/09/2008, -0/+15Boo ***** hoo
  • rmeddy, on 09/09/2008, -2/+7I expect to drive around in his Bentley and yell

    I'M RICH BIATCH!!!
  • charm803, on 09/09/2008, -0/+14I can't decide which one is worse, this or saying that there are no black people in Alaska.

    Stick to wannabe rapping, Diddy! Or PEE, whatever you go by these days.
    • UnMannedMission, on 09/09/2008, -1/+2I can't believe people got offended over "the no black people in Alaska" comment. It didn't seem to bother the 7 people in South Dakota. Srsly, Deondre and Keisha don't spring the mind when you mention Alaska, Montana or Vermont or some *****.
  • dn11, on 09/09/2008, -0/+10LOL. I find this pretty hilarious

  • Kyrgizion, on 09/09/2008, -1/+16I noticed right away this wasn't from the Onion, but man...
    I was CONVINCED this was another hoax site.
    It's not ;( The world is in a sad shape.
    • norman619, on 09/09/2008, -1/+7The Onion isn't a hoax site. It's satire.
      • artfiend77, on 09/09/2008, -5/+1As is this...no one can be this stupid....right?
      • norman619, on 09/09/2008, -2/+3artfiend:

        You haven't listened to enough self-important celebrities ramble have you? If you had you wouldn't have to ask that silly question. Of course they can!
      • artfiend77, on 09/09/2008, -0/+2SACREBLEU!
  • BluesFan, on 09/09/2008, -0/+4Thanks P ***** for your sympathy now you can get back to getting high and bangin some bitches.......Maniac In The Brainiac

  • darkmaxprime, on 09/09/2008, -0/+12lol ***** you P. Duschi...***** you
  • NyteStarNyne, on 09/09/2008, -2/+13I don't like Diddy, but come on, this was meant as a ***** joke. He even said it himself.
    I'm shocked at the coverage this crap is getting.
    • norman619, on 09/09/2008, -0/+4I think it's more for his thinking we actually wanted his commentary funny or not. He's just looking for attention/press. I mean, c'mon! He's even hocking burgers on TV.
      • rheaume, on 09/09/2008, -0/+2Anything to remove attention from Palin until the election, will be done.
  • heymamakat, on 09/09/2008, -2/+2Awe. Da poor bitty ditty don't have no go juice for his aiwpane. Awwwe. So sad. No, really, it's sad that he thinks that's so important. Give me a break! There are people in our country that struggle to have enough money to take the bus to work, muchless put gas in a car. Some people scrape to have enough money for their food, and bills, due to all the financial craziness in the US, and we are supposed to feel sorry for Poo Diddo because he has trouble filling his jet? Get over yourself.
  • mwaleed86, on 09/09/2008, -12/+0Diddy Bin Oily!...
  • maxnb, on 09/09/2008, -0/+3so where is the actual video of P.Diddy, Id like to leave him a comment
    • TheOther1, on 09/09/2008, -0/+1Looks like it has been pulled from YouTube.
  • mwaleed86, on 09/09/2008, -12/+0Diddy Bin Oily!...
    • Jumpeplowski, on 09/09/2008, -0/+5Even more retarded the second time.
  • Nicholas77, on 09/09/2008, -0/+6I don't like P.Diddy.
  • ahhell, on 09/09/2008, -0/+16P. Diddle, world's biggest douche.
  • andreusboy, on 09/09/2008, -2/+4Even the rich ***** can't afford their giant *****-sized wastes of lifestyle? But I thought the point of the bushonomics was to make the rich richer and more and more slave poor for less. Wow they can't even screw others for their own selfish greed properly.
  • vision777, on 09/09/2008, -3/+2I think he was trying to be funny. With his kind of money he can still fly any way he wants to.
  • jellygraph, on 09/09/2008, -1/+11Buried. Puff Daddy is a moron. I hope he goes broke.
  • Spankus, on 09/09/2008, -1/+7And the Internet did provide them with a picture of Puffy dancing with a fat chick:

    ...and it was good.
  • Olll3, on 09/09/2008, -10/+2
  • Bobaliki, on 09/09/2008, -0/+4Diddy did it
  • bxblox, on 09/09/2008, -0/+5Maybe he can start saving money by getting rid of the giant billboards of himself in times square.
  • Simongh, on 09/09/2008, -0/+11I pity the fuel.

    I'll get my coat.
  • chase001, on 09/09/2008, -6/+4I always thought it odd if you're white and ugly or fat you're a social pariah, but it doesn't seem to be an impediment if you are black. If P Diddy, Kanye West and Jay Z were that homely and white they'd settle into a nice life of obscurity.
  • PhillyMJS, on 09/09/2008, -0/+9"How do we get the Bush administration to believe we're in a recession?"
    "Tell 'em Diddy says we're in a recession."
    • solboldi, on 09/09/2008, -1/+1We are NOT in a recession. Last quarter was 3.3% growth.
  • AnAfricanOnline, on 09/09/2008, -9/+1Goodness!!!!!!!!. I was going to reply all of you.but i did not know digg had so many RACISTS logged on to its website.!!!!!!!!!!and you can all bla-bla and and bury all you want in fact bury me a thousand times i'll still be here to get you!!!!!
    • scarwars, on 09/09/2008, -0/+6are you the one who keeps sending me emails asking for money?

      "Goodness!!!!!!!"
    • MisterKen, on 09/10/2008, -0/+2We don't hate P. Dud because he's black,
      We hate him because he's a douche bag.
      Ya feel me?
  • GordonFree, on 09/09/2008, -0/+5P. Diddy is proud of being a moron.
  • shuffleslide, on 09/09/2008, -1/+3he should listen himself some, dj yoda - delta ebonics.

    ***** is whack
  • boneit, on 09/09/2008, -0/+3If you want to here him saying this, get the lastest TWiT podcast and jump to the end. I would hope he was taking the piss for a laugh, but I suspect not.
  • Suzpaz, on 09/09/2008, -0/+3Isn't jet fuel only half the price of regular fuel?
  • Zlorp, on 09/09/2008, -0/+7I will never call him anything other than Puff Daddy. He's crazy to think that I or anyone else give enough of a ***** to waste braincells on remembering this dumb ***** name of the week.
  • Lockhart, on 09/09/2008, -0/+1Haha, saw this on Jimmy Kimmel...
  • TwwIX, on 09/09/2008, -0/+2Oh,noes! P Diddy is being forced to fly commercial? What has the world come to? sniff* No mo Cristal serving hoes. :(
  • WoollyMittens, on 09/09/2008, -0/+3Maybe we need some more draconian copyright laws to finance his gold-plated airliner.
  • joshf52, on 09/09/2008, -0/+1Poor guy :(
  • TheOther1, on 09/09/2008, -0/+3I thought he was dead. Just wishful thinking, I guess.
  • MrFurious2k, on 09/09/2008, -0/+6We should start a fund for him to get fuel for his jet. No rapper of ours should have to settle for a meager existence of million dollar homes, cars, and women. It's just not right.
