So I came across a post on Something Awful that inspired me to put this poll up:
Diazinon posted:
"At one point Al sang his "innuendo song" full of really bad pick up lines. He was dressed in a red pimp suit and hopped off the stage, went out into the crowd, and sang to about 10-12 of the ladies face to face. Al is not an attractive man, so a few of the girls were freaking to have him face to face, and I would guess not in a good way."
No, trust me, the women who sit right up front at a Weird Al concert were probably thrilled by this. He had (and I suspect still has) a somewhat frightening following of obsessive hardcore fans of the "internet fanfiction writer / cat lady" type.
Okay ladies, let's test his theory against the data! Put on your polling caps!
"Weird Al" has a charisma that's all his own. The awkward, the misshapen, the socially inept flock to his banner.
Um, I've never written a fan fic about Al *or anything else* in my entire life. I did own a cat once, but I wouldn't say I was a cat lady. I also like having Al in my face, and am almost certain he will be on Friday.

You're not a female fan, Jeremy.
It's important that somebody is willing to step up and point these things out.
FWIW, I didn't mean the "fan fiction" in the poll to be fan fiction about Al. Not all fan fiction is skewed toward relationships, but enough of it is that I find the idea of fan fiction about a living breathing person (such as Al) to be really creepy, unless it's extremely G-rated and, preferably, funny.

Yeah Raquel you seriously creep me out... but not as much as I creep you out!.
