Earlier this month, nouveau James Bond Daniel Craig floated the idea that his successor in the famous role need not be white. "I think the role could easily be played by a black actor, because the character created by Ian Fleming in the '50s has undergone a great deal of evolution and continues to be updated," Craig said at a Quantum of Solace press conference. "After Barack Obama's victory I think we might have reached the moment for a colored 007."

Rap mogul, designer and aspiring actor Sean "Diddy" Combs (above) apparently not only agrees, but has determined the Bond role should go to him. Combs just spent $750,000 of his own money shooting a sort of audition / calling card which he sent to Bond producers in an effort to convince them. The video, full of Bond-like action sequences, was shot in the South of France. "This is my audition tape for the next James Bond," Combs tells the London Daily Mirror. "There is a black President and it's time for there to be a black Bond."

Diddy could have all the money and noteriety in the *&#@$&* galexy, a monkey is a monkey no matter if curious George is the president, by the way the truth about the mokey thats going to president is starting to come out, the Chicago politics mentality is going to come out, but we are all sure that the monkey didn't know anything about it, he must of been the dumbest senator i the history of senators. Cant wait for him to start deneying everything on the planet.
