Are we trying to get rid of him?

Yup. Apparently a campaign has been started by Powered by the #ExilePitbull hashtag, Something Awful guys David Thorpe and Jon Hendren started the campaign to send Pitbull to the island of Kodiak, Alaska on Twitter, and it's been a wild success.

According to Pitbulls interviews with GQ he makes no bones about being a media whore- he is a business and admits it.

Along with Kodak, Bud Light, and Voli, Pit endorses Dr Pepper and Zumba Fitness, which builds workout programs around his music. He also has equity in these dissolvable tongue squares called Sheets Energy Strips. Last year he made a reported $6 million this way, being hiphop’s foremost shill.

“Look, Pitbull is a product. Don’t get it f*cked up—I’m a businessman. This industry is 90 percent business, 10 percent talent. It’s the people who think they’re talented, that their sh*t don’t stink, who get left behind…Two thousand nine was freedom, 2010 was invasion, 2011 was takeover, 2012 is grow wealth.”
