Vote or Die Branding to Expand

P. Diddy, Sean "Puffy" Combs announced today that his design corporation will be expanding his controversial and largely irrelevant "Vote or Die" brand to include other desperately losing civic and political causes.

Umbrella Man, acting as a spokesman for the Combs Corporation, stated during a press conference Thursday that several groups had expressed an interest in the "_or Die" branding during the ill-fated 2004 Kerry campaign.

"Even though only 17% of the young actually turned of their televisions and crawled out of their mother's basements to vote on November 2nd, we still managed to sell freaking tons of those overpriced, cheap-assed, Chinese Slave Camp produced, crappy T-shirts. We made a mint!"

Umbrella Man continued, "Vote or Die spoke to the youth, the underachievers, the slackers and delinquents, even the Anarchy Activists. Because of this, we intend to extend the brand to include other issues, as to appropriate, assimilate, excoriate and celebrate all kinds of losing causes world wide."

Available at the press conference were samples of shirts for some of the causes already contracted with Combs. Included in the list are such campaigns as "Toke or Die" (NORML), "Libertarian or Die," "Palestinian State or Die," "Free Saddam or Die," and "Hillary in 2008 or Die."
