Sean “Moisturize My Situation” Combs is doing many party goers in New York and Las Vegas a major solid this year by giving them the ultimate gift: the freedom to party down as hard as they want to. How so? The rap mogul is providing transportation as part of his Safe Rides program, handing out thousands of free subway passes and taxi vouchers so that landing a designated driver isn’t a problem.
Diddy said in a statement, “New York stands as the world’s icon for a New Year’s Eve celebration and Las Vegas is the biggest party destination in the country. By bringing this program to both of these great cities we will continue to show the rest of the country that a sophisticated holiday celebration doesn’t end when the ball drops, but when everyone gets home safely.” I think that’s just about the classiest thing I’ve ever heard. “Sophisticated holiday celebrations” include splitting a handle of whiskey with six other people and eating a pan of pot brownies, right?
This kind of giving back isn’t completely uncommon in the world of celebrities, but if Paris Hilton, Lindsay Lohan or any of the other DUI queens who have the money to provide a similar service to the public did the same, it would show that they’ve learned their lessons and want to make sure other people don’t make their mistakes. Just a thought. Hey, LAPD! You reading this? You should make all the celebrities who get DUIs provide free transportation nights. They’ll learn their lesson, people can go get crunk and then get home safely. It’s a win-win.
Thumbs up to Diddy.
This is a really amazing move on Diddy’s party. I’m really curious how much that cost him, and how many potential drunk driving accidents he just prevented?
Good for him! I have so much respect for him now.
God bless him. I think it’s time we all donated money toward the “Fix Diddys Underbite” fund that I’ve started.
