Sometimes, connecting with your fans is a bad thing

In a move designed to pry America's collective attention from unimportant things in the news like the Middle East and rising healthcare costs, network television stations broke in with this important news:

He is now going by 'Diddy.'

Yes, according to every website on the internet, Sean Combs has now decreed that he shall be known only as Diddy. Apparently, Diddy is "more personal" and Combs believes the P. was getting between him and his fans. He is now more "exposed."

Of course, being more exposed and personal with his fans will be tough to do from one of his many enormous mansions or yachts, but if anything can connect an artist with the people who spend money to buy his merchandise, I'm sure it's removing one letter from his pseudonym. And it was a wise move, because I believe P was getting between R Kelly and his fans too. But that's just what I heard.
