Can You Name A Bigger Jackass?
Sean Combs (P Diddy, Puff Daddy, Sean John) will soon be debuting his new cologne called Unforgivable. I know, it can’t get any more lame… but it does, check out the slogan/quote: “Living life without passion is unforgivable.” Um… wait a sec, did I just hear you say that living life without passion is your cologne?
A little bird at Estee Lauder (who is producing and marketing Unforgivable) tells me that everyone working on the project is embarrassed to be a part of such a lame product and hates working with the man and most of them think he’s disgusting. Besides the fact that he takes credit for the design of the bottle (uh, right) and makes life a genuine nightmare for those who work for/around him, apparently he also acts like a jackass in meetings: when looking at preliminary bottle designs he actually jumped up on the table and started pointing at the bottles and freestyle rapping about each one.
Can you imagine if he lived his life WITHOUT such passion?!!! (Answer: No, because it would be unforgivable)
I guess I don’t really have a point other than utter dismay at the fact that people actually like him and have any level of respect for the guy. I mean, is he really that delusional to believe he’s as important as he thinks he is?
So, I will leave you with a couple reasons (in his own words) of why he is now “Diddy” rather than “P Diddy”:
“I felt like the ‘P’ was getting between me and my fans and now we’re closer … During concerts, half the crowd is saying ‘P. Diddy’ — half the crowd is chanting ‘Diddy’ — now everybody can just chant ‘Diddy.’…I even started to get confused myself — and when I’d called someone on the telephone it took me a long time to explain who I was. Too long.”

P. Diddy is pretty high up on the jackass list. What about Britney, though? The commercial where she’s hunted in the forest….. tough to beat that.
GREAT slogan, btw. hilarious.

Diddy did bring Biggie into the mainstream, so he’s not all bad.
…excuse me, I have to go freshen up with my Michael Jorden cologne

Susan — Sean Penn?? He’s a really good actor! What’s wrong with him?
Comment by Supergenius — February 1, 2006 @ 12:40 pm
I second Britney. Or go with the obvious of Paris. Either one.

I wouldn’t want to work with/for Tom Cruise.

D., would you really turn down the opportunity, if one came along? “Dianetics – The Musical”?
Comment by Supergenius — February 1, 2006 @ 1:11 pm
Maybe, if he agreed to wrestle me, for a fee, of course.
Comment by D. Fletcher — February 1, 2006 @ 1:18 pm
I agree with Susan. Sean Penn is a weenie.
And Tom Cruise is just nuts.

Steve, maybe you missed the press about Sean Penn, a movie star, trying to stop a war? If that doesn’t scream “jackass” nothing much does.

I liked that publicity photo of Sean Penn at the Gulf Coast after Katrina. His boat sank because it wasn’t big enough to hold Sean, his photographer, his publicist and his handler. Classic. (Funnier, but less creepy than his private interview with Saddam just prior to the second Gulf War.)

Speaking of K-Fed, am I the only one who would totally spend a buck to download a copy of PoPoZao?
With Arrested Development and Scrubs on their way out, I am starved for comedy.

I hate to say it because it will make me sound like a right winger (not that there’s anything wrong with that), but I can’t think of a bigger public jackass than Howard Dean.

P Miller. He’s the jackass du jour.
But, actually,I really have to go with Senn Penn too. Anyone who carries weapons in a car, has the car stolen, gets the car back, but not the weapons, has contributed to violence. Sean Penn did this, all the while screaming about the NRA, gun control and the war. He’s the biggest jackass of all.

Of course: Johnny Knoxville.

How about the Black Eyed Peas? Can’t we please hate them for “My Humps”?
Comment by Supergenius — February 2, 2006 @ 11:14 am
Whatcha gonna do with all that brain?
All that brain inside your head?
Comment by NFlanders — February 2, 2006 @ 11:37 am
“My Humps” is art.
Supergenius is an ignorant humpist.

My favorite “Sean Penn is a jackass” moment was when he lectured Chris Rock during the Oscars about the wonderful swellness that is Jude Law.
Total lack of humor=Jackass.

Diddys the man, your jealous. Hes making millions of this “jackass” cologne and your sitting at home all bitter and writing a forum topic about him? whos the jack ass?
Comment by Steve — February 23, 2006 @ 7:44 pm
Rusty, thanks for calling attention to the unintended irony in the slogan. Glad I’m not the only one to notice. Jennifer, I agree on Sean Penn’s Oscar lecture.
Note to Steve: adding an “s” to the end of a word makes it plural; adding apostrophe s makes it possessive. “Your” = possessive form of “you.” “You’re” = “you are.” Feel free to lump me in with the Seans et. al., and call me a jackass (for correcting grammar).
