Lets Kickstarter that movie Al!

[mrmeadows]

(An adventurous eater he does not seem to be. “What’s Shurrey-shratcha?” he asks, pointing to Sriracha on the menu.)

Okay, Al had to be joking with the interviewer here, right? How can the guy who is so plugged-in to pop culture (and food!) not know what Sriracha is? Personally, I think it's overhyped and don't use it, but I do know what it is because there was a stretch recently when people were talking about it like it was manna from Heaven and seemingly every restaurant had a dish that featured it.

It was also in the news fairly recently for having an extremely stinky factory, so I'm kind of surprised that Al hasn't at least heard of it. Maybe he knew what it was called but didn't recognize the spelling when he saw it on the menu.

It might be worth buying a Sunday paper this week for some Al in print

Could a UHF movie happen by Kickstarter? I know he says it didn't do well enough at the box office but it definitely has a big cult following. Even non-Al-oholics.

I wish UHF was a real channel on TV. I would totally watch another UHF movie. I loved it!

Has anyone else seen this doozie? It isn't even from the Onion, it's from Mediamass.net.


"The American singer-songwriter has an estimated net worth of $245 million. He owes his fortune to smart stock investments, substantial property holdings, lucrative endorsement deals with CoverGirl cosmetics. He also owns several restaurants (the “Fat Yankovic Burger” chain) in Washington, a Football Team (the “Downey Angels”), has launched his own brand of Vodka (Pure Wonderyankovic - US), and is tackling the juniors market with a top-selling perfume (With Love from Weird Al) and a fashion line called “Weird Al Yankovic Seduction”.

The ranking is significant for many Weird Al fans, who have been waiting for his triumphant return to the glory days for what seems like a lifetime."

WTF!

I didn't know anything about this until just now. WTF, indeed!

WTF!

That website is clearly a joke, because a quick search of "yankovic" revealed such treasures as "Weird Al Yankovic Nude Photos Leaked Online", "Weird Al Yankovic Single Again?", "Weird Al Yankovic voted Sexiest Singer Alive (again)" (not that I disagree with latter), and many alike.

Apparently, Playboy magazine had some Playmates dress as sexy versions of several famous people. Al was represented, but I think the gal dressed as him should've lost the glasses.

Sexy Weird Al Playmate

Yeah, they made Weird Al sexier, or so they claim. I don't think so.
