Ronald McDonald to Be Named Diddy’s Bitch

On this special day, the 420th day in the Age of Diddy, the splendiferous one himself has news.

Found on yahoo.com:

MIAMI - Diddy will soon be adding some sizzle to Burger King's marketing efforts. Hip hop mogul Sean "Diddy" Combs has agreed to join Burger King Corp.'s promotional efforts as the world's No. 2 hamburger chain reaches out into the entertainment, fashion and music world, the Miami-based company said in a statement Tuesday.

Known in the past as Puff Daddy and P. Diddy, the artist known as Diddy is set to appear in an upcoming Burger King advertisement campaign. Financial terms were not disclosed.

"Sean 'Diddy' Combs is a pop culture icon, and we're thrilled to be able to collaborate, using the breadth of his talents as an artist, entrepreneur and change agent to impact and inspire our guests," said Russ Klein, president of global marketing, strategy and innovation at Burger King.

…

“I'm having it my way on this album, and it's been a great journey for me, so I'm grateful for partners like Burger King Corporation that are helping me bring a fresh sound to my fans," Diddy said. "They share my passion for being tastemakers and giving the people what they want."

So many comments in my head – must get them out as quickly as possible.

How does Burger King plan to reach out into the fashion world? Will Sean John be offering a new line for the Whopper sized consumers? Will those cardboard king hats become haute couture?

“Known in the past as Puff Daddy and P. Diddy”? Despite his self-proclaimed name change, isn’t Diddy known in the present as Puff Daddy and P. Diddy as well? If I say “Puff Daddy” or “Puffy”, will people just not know who I’m talking about?

How is the Burger King Corporation helping Diddy bring a fresh sound to his fans? Are they in the studio with him? Telling the glorious one which songs to steal – er.. sample?

“Diddy will soon be adding some sizzle.” Oh yeah, a white person wrote that line and was damn proud to do so. In addition, if it’s flame broiled is there sizzle? Probably there is, I’m just equating sizzle with frying.

Diddy admits that he has a passion for giving people what they want, further showing his Christ-like qualities. Cross over children. All are welcome. All welcome. Go into the Diddy. There is peace and serenity in the Diddy. Carol Anne - listen to me. Do NOT go into the Diddy. Stop where you are. Turn away from it. Don't even look at it. Ahh.. Sorry, I let that one get away from me. Don't know what came over me.

Are there any official agencies that monitor who can be called change agents or tastemakers? I’m not saying that Diddy can’t lay claim to such titles. Hell, Diddy can start calling himself Baron, Lord or Messiah and I’m down with that. But what about the wannabes? What’s stopping me from saying that I’m a tastemaker (no matter how much Pineapple juice I drink)? Plus, is Burger King really a tastemaker? I mean, they didn’t invent the hamburger. They just hopped on the fast food bandwagon. It’s not like I follow their lead in making any purchasing choices. Burger King is just a house of lies.

“The World’s No.2 Hamburger Chain”? To quote the late pop culture icon and tastemaker, Rodney Dangerfield, “Always look out for No.1, just don’t step in No.2.”

And so, the Age of Diddy continues…
