I'm watching Beavis And Butt-Head right now, that is an awesome fact! I figured it was just an obvious choice of name but it's good to know for sure.
What a racket they're makin', Jack, they keep me up at night playin' their electric guitars!!

Is it true that back when mandatory fun came out, that Kanye West sued Al because he didn't parody one of his songs? I remember reading a bunch of articles about it.

I'm pretty sure, considering what website that article was published on, that that was a fake article.

Ah, ok.

I wouldn't be surprised if Kanye West would do that

I guess Al won't be taking a spot on President West's cabinet then, huh?

Oh my freaking God, I am so glad I found this thread! I have a vent

So I was at my friend's house and I showed my friends his Eminem and Avril Lavigne interviews. They seemed to enjoy it well until the end of the Avril interview where Al asks her "Can you take your clothes off so I can wear them on my head?" and two of my friends got all grossed out and said he was creepy. Okay, I know these friends are neurotic about things that come off "creepy" sexually speaking, BUT AL DIDN'T MEAN ANYTHING GROSS BY IT! 1) Avril's not even there in person, it's photoshopped-ish in so she's not taking her clothes off (which I let them know while we were watching the Eminem one) and 2) WEIRD AL IS NOT A CREEPAZOID! He makes irreverent jokes in his material, but he would NEVER ask any girl that if he was in the same room with them! He's not a pervert! God! <_< :angry: :annoyed:

I know some people who say "Al is a racist, sexist homophobe". "All he dose is steels songs" . "He is smurfed up". They do it just to pick on me.

Some (less vulgar) comments from Kurt Cobain fanatics left on the "Smells Like Nirvana" video (all spelling and grammar errors in the original):

"This is really unrespectfull! Kur was a legend en you destroy his work in less than 3 minutes..."

"this parody is the reason why Kurt died..."

"it's stupid and it's for stupid people... poor Kurt"

"its shame to make fun of kurt and others, that guy was legend!! I mean how can you even think of doing this. People are crazy!"

:rolleyes:
