P Diddy, or whatever the hell he’s calling himself now, has posted a vlog entry complaining about the high cost of oil. In it, he begs his “Saudi brothers and sisters to send some free oil” so he can fly his private jet.
He also adds that he has to (clutch the pearls) FLY COMMERCIAL because gas prices are so high.
You know, I have no problem with my blingified brothers and sisters. But, how out of touch can you be to even have the audacity to post this type of mess when the same people who buy your CDs (stuff from your overpriced fashion line, and so on) probably can’t even afford to (clutch the pearls again) FLY COMMERCIAL because prices are so high.
I’m not saying a word about this because it may ruin my chances to become Andernetta Cooper.:-) I’ll just describe it: Apparently CNN has a new feature I’ve just noticed on its website: selling t-shirts with story headlines.
Look at the screenshot below. You’ll there’s a little t-shirt icon next to the headline “Boy gets wish: Seat on garbage truck.”
If you click on the icon on the CNN.com site, you’ll be taken to a page where you can buy the t-shirt with the headline.
Again, no comment.
I do have a question though: Do the story subjects get a cut of the profits?
I’m busier than a one-legged man in a butt kicking contest, but I wanted to toss something out there.
Call me a conspiracy theorist, but look at the noses of both figures in this pic. The figure on the left is Radovan Karadizic. The figure on the right is who folks are saying is Radovan Karadizic.
Is it just me or do those noses look different? Look at the nostrils. Or maybe he got a nose job?
I didn’t watch CNN’s “Black in America. Nine times out of ten, it’s also running on CNN International, but probably at 2AM or something…and I’m not fighting sleep to watch it.
I have noticed that a lot of folks seem outraged by the special, like over at Superhussy:
I have posted about the CNN debacle documentary elsewhere, to sum up: it was a re-hash of the same ‘ole, same ‘ole, did not reflect my black experience, black women were skewered, it was not really meant for black folks (personally, I think it was created to make a some suits feel good about doing something to help the negro problem), did not showcase enough of black womens intellectual input (even in a segment about women, hmm?) and, as usual, the male portion of the program was much better than the female/family portion.
Although I do understand the outrage, I must ask what did folks expect? Did anyone really believe that a two-part special from mainstream media would dig deeper into race in the US than what I’ve read it did? Better question: Has any network, even BET, captured The Black Experience (TM) in the way it deserves?
“I think Obama would be a disaster, and there’s a lot of reasons,” said Pollard, explaining the rumors he had heard about the candidate from friends he goes camping with. “I understand he’s from Africa, and that the first thing he’s going to do if he gets into office is bring his family over here, illegally. He’s got that racist [pastor] who practically raised him, and then there’s the Muslim thing. He’s just not presidential material, if you ask me.
Time for me to bang my head against the wall, scream, then go to work.
