For years the news in the United States has focused on how gas prices are a cause of great concern for Americans. Every night on the news you could find the 'on the scene reporter' asking hard hitting questions like, "how are gas prices affecting you?" The 'average joe' would respond with something like, "they're real high and I don't like it, nope, not one bit." These are the moments you don't get back. This is when you realize that your quest for truth and desire to keep up with current events is all for naught.
But then...
The gods smile down on you and, after 3 years of seeing reports on what the 'average joe' is feeling, give you the hard hitting truth: gas prices also affect people that matter.
Diddy Gives Middle Finger to Middle America
LOS ANGELES, California (AP) -- Fuel prices have grounded an unexpected frequent-flyer: Diddy.
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."
