LOSER: P.Diddy laments not being able to afford fuel for the "private jet" which he DOES NOT OWN
HAHAHA, YOU SUCK DIDDY

http://www.wwtdd.com/post.phtml?pk=11871

Last week Diddy posted a video on youtube where he lamented the high cost of gas prices, saying they were so high in fact that he could no longer use his private jet and was forced to fly commercial. He said,

"As you know, I do own my own jet but I have been havin to fly back and forth to LA to pursue my acting career. Ok, now, if I’m flying back and forth, like, twice in a month that’s like 200,000, 250,000 round trip. Fuck that."


Oh hey guess what…

Turns out P. doesn't even have his "own" private jet at all. An extensive look through federal aviation records by the Palm Beach Post turned up no Seans, Diddys, Combs, or Puffys as the registered owner. One source said, "I have a list of every plane with the name of the owner, and he's not on it."
For the record, says his rep, he's got a "fractional" ownership in a plane on NetJets, where you buy flight hours.


:spray:

Even the fact that he has a partial ownership annoys me to no end. I think a reasonable response to everything Diddy says and does is pure unfiltered rage.

4. "...As you know, I do own my own jet..." He does not own a jet.
Plus, he makes clothes out of dogs. Dogs which...as the article below reveals...are skinned alive in China for their fur. So fuck him. He's a self-absorbed asshole, completely lacking in talent, and a liar and master of deception on top of that.

Other than that, I have no issues.

Test Reveals Canine Fur on Diddy's "Sean John" Jacket Sold at Macy's
December 22, 2006

http://www.hsus.org/furfree/news/sean_john_diddy_combs_mislabeled_fur.html



Sean "Diddy" Combs notified The HSUS through a representative Dec. 22 that the Sean John snorkel jacket containing raccoon dog fur (see video of raccoon dogs killed for fur) was being pulled from sales, and in the future, the garment will be made with faux fur trim only.

"I was completely unaware of the nature of this material, but as soon as we were alerted, the garments were pulled off the Macy's floor and website," Combs said. "I have instructed our outerwear licensee to cease the production of any garments using this material immediately. I appreciate the tireless work that the Humane Society does and would like to thank them for bringing attention to this issue."

The HSUS and the Sean John company are discussing the company's broader policy on fur trim.

The test results are in on Diddy’s fur jacket: raccoon dog.

The HSUS tested the fur on a Sean John Hooded Snorkel Jacket sold on Macys.com that was originally advertised, incorrectly, as having an "imitation rabbit fur collar" and materials identified as "faux fur."



The jacket, part of a clothing line by celebrity rapper and music producer Sean "Diddy" Combs, was not only incorrectly advertised by Macy's but also labeled as containing "raccoon" fur, which has now been found to come from a canine species known as raccoon dog.

5. Right, he owns part of a jet.
And still would be paying a lot of money for fuel.

So that's not an issue.

If your issue is fur, just say that and quit being so full of it.

You've heard of the Grammar Police, yes? Well, we also have our Outrage Police-- instructing us when our venting is not in accordance with accepted standard, doctrine or dogma.

Hey-- I would've said something too, but as our fine country appears to be named after you, I thought I'd allow you a bit more leeway :evilgrin:

How many hundreds of millions is he worth now?

6. Very few people or corporations "own" planes for tax reasons -- even American & United
When I first started out in the world of finance, I was assigned to do airplane lease finance.

For complicated reasons having to do with depreciation for tax purposes, almost no one who flies planes owns planes -- even the major airlines. Very few corporations have sufficient shelterable income to be able to use the depreciation deducations that are generated by airplanes.

Most "owners" are actually holders of sale/lease-back use rights, or in the case of Combs, holders of fractional use rights. In colloquial expression, its as appropriate for him to say he owns it as it is for American Airlines to say they own their planes even though technically they don't.
