Barack Obama Won, So Buy Diddy's Fragrance

Sean "Diddy" Combs is trying to leverage Barack Obama's win in his quest to sell bottles of his ostentatiously-named fragrance "I Am King." "When you see Barack Obama," he said, "you see a strong, elegant black man, and when people see my ad, it's almost like that's the trend." In other words, Buy or Die. [WSJ]
