Sean 'Diddy' Combs Complains About Gas Prices

If you thought you had it bad, just wait until you see the new low to which rapper/producer Diddy has been driven by booming gas prices: leaving his private jet at home and flying commercial.

I was ready to pounce on this as a demonstration of how out of touch Combs is with ordinary Americans (although at least he probably knows how many houses he has).

But watching the video, it’s abundantly clear that he’s just trying to be funny, and besides, it’s not like the guy is running for office — not that those details have prevented folks from blowing their gaskets all over the internet.

"Attention all media and hate bloggers," reads a note on the video’s YouTube page. "This blog is just me making a joke about gas prices. Loosen up."

Agreed. Don’t hate the player, hate the fame.
