What story ranks as high as, oh, the United States nationalizing financial institutions' debts, essentially privatizing profit but socializing risk? Why, P. Diddy stepping into dog poo!
Perhaps Post editors decided we needed a shot of levity as we worry about the economy, so they go with a "POO DIDDY" cover headline and then DIDDY THE CRAP STAR for the article. The moniker "P. Doody" is also offered.
The multi-tasking mogul who is also known as Sean Combs stepped into the offending dog poop at West 44th Street between 8th and 9th Avenues. One worker told the Post, "He stepped right out the Jeep and right into it, and he wasn't happy. It was hysterical."
Apparently he was very aware of the attention his not-watching -where-he -walks ways: "After spotting lensmen snapping photos of his embarrassing predicament, Combs asked them not to publish their shots."
Earlier this year, the city raised fines for not picking up dog poop to $100. And the blog New York Shitty covers egregious non-scoop behavior.

I want to work for the Post. You don't need journalism experience, right?
"Combs asked them not to publish their shots.""
The only way to avoid that is to match the price the Post would pay for the photos. I guess a little humiliation is not worth a couple thousand dollars.
Come on Poo Diddy! Your worth a few hundred Million. You can spare the change.
Is 'any publicity' really still 'good publicity'?
Yeah like that name-changing ass is really the first famous person to step in dog shit in Manhattan. Even by the Post's standard that's pretty ridiculous. Hey, the next time I step in dog poo, do you think if I take a picture the Post will print it on their cover? I mean, I'm not famous or anything, but dogshit is the new black!
why do people walk with blinders on? let his bodyguards do the watching.
@Felix (best avatar ever) No, that's something people who've never worked in PR say. When you reach the over saturated level of media existence of Puffy, Britney Spears, LaLohan, etc. you're really trying to control and limit the exact way you're portrayed the media. Publicity becomes damaging at some point because the public starts to get sick of seeing you everywhere. It's much more a gate keeping issue.
That's actually a great shot, I love how the pop got the perfect frame where he's just about to hit the turd. I think this is hysterical because Puffy is a creep and treats the people who work for him like dirt.
the post is hysterical. sadly.
Upon further inspection that cover pretty much shows how far we've fallen as a society when one side is Puffy stepping in dog crap and the other is 'Trillion Dollar Rescue'.
That would be like 'Japs Attack Pearl Harbor' sharing a cover with 'Mickey Rooney splits britches at premier of Andy Hardy's Blonde Trouble, Hilarity Ensues'
Bingo! ^
That douchebag's ego deserves a swift kick in the nut sack.
Free copies of the Post are sometimes handed out on 42nd St outside of Grand Central. Even then, they're still overpriced.
My mom lives in PA, and gets all her NY news from the Post. She's pretty damn paranoid.
where is that dog that is the best damn dog in town today! Poo ditty shitty sucks
