Sean Combs of Sean John in a new promo spot for the recently released I Am King fragrance. This one is around 5 minutes long; there is a longer version here where Diddy talks to the camera and explains that the film is his audition for the James Bond role, and dedicates the I Am King fragrance to Martin Luther King, Barack Obama and Muhammad Ali. That one is over 6 minutes.
Found via Techcrunch, where blogger Michael Arrington declared: "This is, officially, the worst thing I have ever seen on the Internet."
Update: if that wasn't enough Diddy for you, check out his new billboard in Times Square.
Finally, someone has come up with a fitting tribute to those three great men: cheap cologne.
Ah. The simple musings of a humble man. How refreshing.
can you imagine what's going thru the heads of the 'belted unitard twin' models? lord, that joker reminds me of this guy i went to college with. completely full of himself, no idea of how hilarious it all is from the outside. what a riot!
Note to Diddy/James Bond's women: Look into pants.
LOL — exactly.
Humble is not his strong point — based on this ad, I'd say his strong point is looking bored. Why does he looks so bored? Seriously, he doesn't crack a smile once, or even look interested in anything that is happening around him.
It looked to me like NOTHING was going through the heads of the belted unitard twins. Seriously, they look as bored as Diddy.
that's what happens when you try to look enigmatic/mysterious and completely fail at it. Of course, perhaps he was taking inspiration from the Monty Python bored cat sketch.
Pants, schmants, we don't need no stinking pants
Call Confuse-A-Cat, stat!
I'm amazed that billboard is large enough to contain his massive ego.
What grabbed me was the notion “This is, officially, the worst thing I have ever seen on the Internet.” Even by this term, the “movie” failed to hold my interest past 2 minutes. Let me know if I missed something and I might try to watch it again.
Yawn, He needs to get over himself. This is over the top pretentious and silly.
Well, some was left over for the movie.
No, it's actually pretty dull. Not the worst thing I've seen on the internet — in fact, have seen worse perfume commercials — but it's sort of sad. Rich people doing rich people things and looking bored while they do them.
I wonder if he doesn't hire people who level with him? Because someone should have told him how absurd (and boring) this movie is.
If I had to spend all my time in his presence, I'd look bored too. You can run away, but you can't escape yourself…
Real Men don't smile, maybe?
Ooh. Tough crowd here today! Ha!
Audition for the James Bond role? Are they casting? Does he actually act?
Yes, as usual.
No, I think he was just trying to make the point that it was time for him to be James Bond, or time for there to be a black James Bond in general or something.
I especially liked the tux-and-SeaDoo combo! How cool is THAT?Go, Diddy, GO!!
*jaw drops*
He *sounds* bored in his songs
LOL!
Yep.
Oh, boy. I barely made it past a minute. Snore! I just don't get why this was made – ?
“Out, out, brief candle! Life's but a walking shadow, a poor player that struts and frets his hour upon the stage and then is heard no more: it is a tale told by an idiot, full of sound and fury, signifying nothing.” Macbeth Quote (Act V, Scene V).
Perhaps he's not smiling because he nicked himself shaving. No, not his face…
*yawwwwwwwwwwwwnnnnnnnnn* This ad REEKS of SUPREME ARROGANCE.
(Every time I see his face — or hear him talk — I get the sudden impulse to roll my eyes. )
IT IS the worst thing I have seen in the internet, honestly, it is the worst directed and cut video! I am not a pro, but even I can see it!
The scent will be okay though, but to name it along with these people is embarassing.
So far, am not hearing good things about the scent either, which is too bad because I thought the original scent for men was pretty good.
It's hard not to.
Are you sure you mean bored? Maybe it's all the expression a single-cell brain can manage. Brainlessness and conceit are a scary combination. Would someone kindly explain what he has to do with anyone that has actually achieved something?
By the way, I didn't watch it, thank you.
Have to admit though, the guy *does* wear a tuxedo well…musicians like him, Kanye West, and Mos Def have really changed the image of rappers in terms of urban-preppy style.
And the unitard twins are so ridiculous that I've got to smile (just like Bond girls make me laugh).
The key to watching this bit of dull pomposity is FAST FORWARD, FAST FORWARD…
Perfect.
I can't explain anything, I don't pay any attention. Obviously many people adore him!
Snowcrocus, the girls are funny, if less intentionally so, perhaps, than in Bond.
Yep.
