Progressives destroy everything that they set their eyes upon. EVERYTHING.
Just play some Sam Kinison, watch the snowflake heads melt.
Oh screw them.
Weird Al writes his songs with the permission of the artists. It takes quite a snowflake to get offended at that.
Freedom of thought is the lifeblood of comedy; it has always - for centuries or even millennia - been the enemy of “communist” leaders. There is an idea, popular since the age of Sparta or before, that a few intelligent leaders can help everyone else live better. I went to school with these people. Now they’re at The Times, or The Post, or teaching, or what have you. They really do believe they are meant to rule the world. And what they hate, more than anything, is when their peers laugh at them. The only thing that could possibly be worse is when people laugh along. The solution, of course, for the Benefit of Mankind, is to silence certain voices. To engage “muscle.” To shut the “bad people” down.
I hope he doesn’t.
It’s funny stuff.
Get a sense of humor.
No he should reply with a swift kick to their nuts (or where their nuts should be). “I thought all this was a parody!”
Weird Als biggest problem is that for two decades now, the music hes parodying is awful. That makes the parodies themselves less than enjoyable. The originals he writes are still good, and he succeeds when he ignores then- or now-current music and reaches back to an earlier time (like American Pie for the Star Wars parody or MacArthur Park for Jurassic Park). But, I dont want to hear Katy Perrys trash even with funny lyrics.
The last I heard from Al was a parody in the style of the Doors. It was great.
When Eddie Murphy apologizes to Mr. T, then I know the Apocalypse is upon us...
Glad I’ve got Al’s movie
on DVD.
They Will have to take
“UHF” from
My Cold Dead Hands.
Dear Mr. Toto.
YOU offend me. Please apologize. Then just go away somewhere, get a real job, and leave us alone.
Thank you.
No and never. He’ll probably write a song about not apologizing.
No one gets to have fun anymore. No one.
Amish Paradise should be safe. :D
This one article is more offensive than all of Weird Als music combined.
This all started when gays got the Dire Straits’ song “Money For Nothing” banned from Canadian airwaves.
The mega-hit song contained the verse:
“You see that little faggot with the earring and the make-up?
Yeah buddy, that’s his own hair.
That little faggot’s got his own jet airplane.
That little faggot, he’s a millionaire...”
Surprisingly, the original words are available on YouTube:

The song was meant as a mockery of people who do grunt jobs and don’t understand the lifestyles of musicians. In the video, the appliance mover is critical of the fame and fortune of musicians. It has nothing to do with homosexuals other than the stereotyping of skinny strung-out rock musicians like the Rolling Stones and what they must do in their spare time.
“Money For Nothing” was a hit in 1985. The outrage over the lyrics didn’t begin until the late 1990s. Now, if the song is aired in any public setting, that verse will be edited out. Surprisingly, the original
Classic AL TV “Interview” with Eminem (who refused to let Al parody his song)

Weird Al has nothing to apologize for! And White and Nerdy is like the funniest song / video ever made by humans.
Everyone who ever laughed even lightly at his songs must apologize, resign from their job, and give their entire life savings as reparations to all those offended
