At the House budget briefing of the DOT’s proposed budget for 2009, Secretary Joseph “Ace” Durano said 19.8 percent of all foreign visitors in the country from January to July 2008 were from Korea.

Se7en copies Usher

It’s been wrong move after wrong move for Se7en since his officiated move to the US. And lo and behold, Red Queen Media - his agent in the US - has done it again.

Unable to engage his homies Three 6 Mafia and Rodney “Dark Child” Jenkins, the folks at Red Queen Media have resorted to an Usher-esque promotional shoot. Throw in a sweet ride, complete with the same row of palm trees in the backyard and voila, you have a new Se7en.

We know via his newly launched Myspace page that he loves Usher but this shouldn’t be the way to go right? Ever since moving to the States in 2007 and announcing it in NYC, Se7en’s little antics have been nothing short of stale. He’d better be re-assessing his options and making a move before America forgets about him.

While Se7en’s burning all the moolah on this useless promotional tactic, watch Usher really Burn in the original music video:
