A wonderful media mention from The Boston Herald

Gotta love it!

DOWNLOAD: WEIRD AL YANKOVIC’S “PITIFUL”
Is any recent song more overplayed and deserving of mockery than James Blunt’s “You’re Beautiful”? In a word, no. So savor Weird Al Yankovic’s “Pitiful,” even if it’s not quite as mean-spririted or nasty as we’d like. But then Weird Al has never been nasty and mean-spirited. In fact, he’s so sweet, he’s made “Pitiful” available as a free download on his Web site, www.weirdal.com. Just scroll down and click on the word “here.”
This means something. This is important.

That is a great media mention! With some of the out of context snot-nosed media reports we've been seeing lately, this one is extremely refreshing.
Oh by the way, I've cracked the code.

Cool! That was absolutely enough to get me out of my media-hating funk. Finally someone appreciates Al.

The Boston Herald's been great to Al. They had great in-depth articles about him for both RWS and PH :)
You have quickly thought up such matchless phrase?

Anyone see the Wikipedia article on "You're Beautiful" has been updated to include "You're Pitiful"?
And was anyone here responsible?

Sorry if I missed this earlier.

The Atlantic Records page on wikipedia also mentions the "growing hostility" towards the label for blocking the song :lol:

It was Grom, just if you're wondering. As for the Atlantic Records page, I'm gonna take a wild guess and say it was iisryan.

:D Indeed. I was suprised it wasn't already there when I did put it in.
