This Nov. 4, the choice is yours – vote, or Diddy will urinate on you while Mr. Bentley pokes your behind with an umbrella.

Forgive me, that threat was not hot, sexy, violent or credible enough to really cause a stir as the 2008 election looms. The sad truth is that I, and millions of others under the age of 29, just haven’t been the same since Diddy’s “Vote or Die!” campaign, which fizzled out after Kerry and Bush duked it out in 2004.

Come to think of it, I’m not even sure if Mr. Bentley is still Diddy’s No. 2 man. Yeah, times are tough.

But four years ago, things were different.

A revolutionary rapper named Diddy/Sean Combs/Puff Daddy/P. Diddy and his group Citizen Change shocked the world by intimidating young people into voting.

In the last election, 4.6 million more 18- to 29-year-olds than in 2000 – or 51 percent of that age group – actually cast a vote, according to a Washington Post article.

Democracy was happy. Celebrities were reppin’ politics and America’s youth voted in fear – if they didn’t, Diddy would punch their lights out. Or they voted because of a sincere interest in pertinent issues. There’s no real way to tell.

Yet somehow the youth turnout was still considered a disappointment because overall turnout had also increased. So the youth were about the same percentage of the electorate as before, which was nothing to “Pass the Courvoisier” about.

The stinging failure of “Vote or Die!” only increased with its public ridicule. On a “South Park” episode, Diddy came to one of the boy’s house with his entourage packing heat, and chased him around town while rapping:

Vote or Die! Vote or Die!

Rock the vote, or else I’m gonna stick a knife through your eye!

So now that the election is two months away, where is Diddy when we need him? What if Diddy didn’t vote last election and was forced to do the unthinkable: Execute the orders of his own plan. Could it be that Diddy is that devoted to the political system?

But a quick view of MTV on Monday morning revealed that Diddy is indeed alive, and, errrr, busy.

Diddy has a reality show called “I Want to Work for Diddy.” In the first five minutes of the show, he described how contestants had to fight to get to him. He then compared himself to the Wizard of Oz and said that his employees have to “walk down the yellow brick road.”

Hmmm. I’m sure Diddy’s just killing time while he works out the kinks of his next political enterprise. Let’s keep searching.

A recent news report states that Diddy is grounding his private jet because two round trips from Los Angeles to New York cost a whopping $200,000. In his opinion, gas prices “is too mother—ing high.”

Maybe we should just ignore that, and look for something a little more – political.

Aha! Diddy’s political punch isn’t dead yet. Sort of.

At the BET Awards, Diddy coined a new phrase on stage: Obama or Die. Yikes. Just when you thought “Vote or Die!” couldn’t get any worse, Diddy tells you exactly who to vote for.

But all that being said, Diddy still may be the political activist we all feared would come to our houses and lay us out if we didn’t vote.

In the most recent in a series of “Diddy-Obama Blogs,” the messiah himself shouts at John McCain for choosing Sarah Palin as his running mate because she hails from Alaska. Diddy states that McCain is “bugging the f— out,” and that there “aren’t no black people in Alaska.”

And it’s here that we youth of the United States must kill Diddy’s quest to be politically active. Morbidly, albeit indirectly, threatening to kill America’s youth for not voting is one thing, but we have to draw the line at making absurd YouTube soliloquy videos.

Let’s hope that people realize that Mo Diddy is Mo problems and the only thing the bad boy of politics does over the next two months is Vote or … Vote!
