P. Diddy's "Vote or Die" campaign tirelessly worked to get out the youth vote in this week's election. Should we be surprised that a few of the rappers involved in the campaign would apparently choose death over voting?

Over at SOHH, they've got a post that takes from a New York Daily News article from a few days ago (yeah, Coolfer is late on this one) that says 50 Cent and Ludacris, both particpants in P. Diddy's quest to get the hip hop generation to visit the polls last Tuesday, didn't vote in the election. Better yet, neither was even registered, according to the article. (Nor was another publicity freeloader, Paris Hilton.)

A Citizen Change official left it to the celebrities' managers to make sure they were registered. (Yes, well, that was your first mistake, obviously.) Ludacris' publicist said the rapper "said he absolutely mailed his absentee ballot last week in Fulton County, Georgia," while 50 Cent's eligibility to vote may be an issue because he is a convicted felon.

You know, there are advertising regulations concerned with celebrities who endorse products. It would be nice to have similar regulations for celebrities who "advertise" voting but don't actually "use the product."
