P. Diddy is going to murder you if you don't vote Paul Ryan
"Now we're going to make voting cool. For the first time in history, we're going to make voting fashionable."
Well, I guess up until now, voting has just been for us untrendy nerds. Only losers like me have been voting up to this point, but now P. Diddy is going to get the "sexy people" to vote. He makes it seem as though we're all in high school, and he's getting hot cheerleaders to join the math club. "I'm going to make math cool! For the first time in history, we're going to make positive integers and diffeomorphisms fashionable!" But that crazy P. Diddy has his stereotypes turned around. Us cool people have been voting all along. The people he's trying to encourage to vote now are the losers. And not to nitpick, but I sincerely doubt this will be the "first time in history" that voting has been cool. I'm pretty sure voting was cool when women got the right to vote in 1920, when Native Americans got the right to vote in 1924, and when African Americans no longer had to worry about being harassed while voting, in 1966. However, I'm being a little harsh. P. Diddy is doing a good thing, no matter how strange his tactics are. Speaking of that, the t-shirt his clothing line is selling to promote voting says "Vote or die!" I don't know about you, but that slogan makes me a little nervous when it's coming from a guy who's been accused of weapons charges about a dozen times. What if he's serious? What if he starts gunning people down the day after the election? Just to be safe, I'm wearing my "I voted" sticker for a week afterwards. Perhaps P. Diddy could have come up with a slogan that's still confusing, but a little less threatening. Something like "Vote or sing!", "Vote or vomit!"* or "Vote or oatmeal!". Here's an example I threw together. I think my t-shirt would sell better than P. Diddy's t-shirt, because Wilford Brimley is on mine.
 *If Mary Kate Olsen is reading this, I'd like to apologize to her for printing that line. I know what you're going through is tough, but fear not, for I have ordered a t-shirt to help save you. Wait, I have to start criticizing P. Diddy again. I can't help it. It's just too easy. He said both John Kerry and George W. Bush would be invited to participate in his events to get the nation's youth voting. "It will be equal, 50-50" says P. Diddy. Ahem. I wonder if P. Diddy is bright enough to realize there are more than just two candidates for president. There's independents, libertarians, and a ton of other groups out there that apparently won't be getting "equal, 50-50" support from P. Diddy. Perhaps this is why today's youth, who often identify most with independent candidates, don't really respond to "get out the youth vote" campaigns.
Just a thought. No big deal. I was just thinking how neither Russell Simmons' or MTV's similar campaigns promoted anything but the same two political parties that most youths find despicable.
