[safetydancer]

This dutch commercial seems to imitate Weird Al's "Lasagna": http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ieWqQAf5hIY" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

Total rip-off.

I cannot believe that in my company newsletter today they announced they want people to submit parodies about the compnay mission statement and then gave an explanation of what a parody is :

Song Parodies
Employees are also encouraged to come up with creative song parodies that can be preformed during the Pep Rally. For those who do not know what a song parody is, it is an imitation of a song with the words changed. For example, Weird Al Yankovich has created many, including "I Lost on Jeopardy" (parodied from "Our Love's in Jeopardy"). Please be creative and try to relate it to our _______values or something else important to _____ such as ______'s mission, etc. If you would like to do a song parody, please submit the words and the song you are imitating to the Pep Rally Committee. Music for your parodied song must be transferred onto a non-returnable CD (one song per CD ). You may also sing a capella.

I also cannot believe they spelled Yankovic wrong. No, I will not be participating since I cannot sing and have no musical talent but thought it was interesting. I thought about sending a company wide email correcting the spelling of Al's name but I need my job.

What's your company? We should have a contest for your contest

Of all possible examples, they went with the Greg Kihn parody?

[Demented Dustin]

Yeah, the Kihn song was kinda odd for some reason. I wonder if they would accept a style parody or a polka medley of the mission statement and values.
Well, I left the company name out cause I did not want to get in trouble. I do work for a hospital though in Indianapolis, Nice idea though!!

You should totally submit "Like a Surgeon." They'll NEVER know.

[Demented Dustin]

I did not even think of that!

There is a phantom hacker group in my country that hacks primary school websites. They all go by the name white and nerdy

KIA is still using what I like to call radioactive hamsters for their ads. Now, if any of these ads shows one of these huge hamsters picking its teeth with a telephone pole, I will know that someone at KIA is an Al fan. Even so, I have no idea what huge, hip-hop loving hamsters have to do with selling cars.
