COMBS SLAMMED ON YOUTUBE
Rap mogul SEAN ‘DIDDY’ COMBS has angered thousands of YouTube members with the launch of his Diddy TV channel on the filesharing website, announcing his association with Burger King.
The declaration of his deal with Burger King has led to over 5,000 online comments, most of them criticising the commercialisation of YouTube, which was yesterday (10OCT06) bought by Google for $1.65 billion (£916 million).
One user, NICKV11763, complains that Diddy TV will lead to "all kinds of ads before every YouTube video you watch… soon it will be like TV, and we will all have less freedom to post what we want to post." A Burger King spokesperson tells MTV, "YouTube is all about free expression, and Burger King wants consumers to continue to ‘have it your way’."
