Al In Hanson's New Music Video

[WEIRD_AL_IS_GOD]

I think Weird Al is pretty awesome.

[Mystik Tomato]

Yeah, but... How am I going to tease you now, Anth? You've destroyed my fun. HOW CAN YOU BE SO SELFISH?!

I think Weird Al is pretty awesome.

Then what are you doing here?

I love how you think that my opinion - or ANYONE'S opinion for that matter - is somehow "wrong." Go live your life - it misses you.

I never said, or implied, for that matter, that you were wrong. I felt that you, like a lot of people, may have been basing your comment on simply hearing their "MMMBop" type stuff, and if you were, I believe it was unfair.

I don't even think the new song you posted here is that good.

I noticed that the new video is directed by Todd Edwards. He is the son of the dean of the college I went to. Wow, if I would have only known I would have made a nice donation to the school (Anderson University) and hit up the dean for all of the details and an invite to the video shooting to be an extra. Longshot I know but one of the cooler things to come out of Anderson, IN.Ahh my wife is an alumni too and knows Todd and is on Facebook with him. She could have messaged him for an invite. argghhhh. Kidding of course.

Dude, if there's one band you're ALLOWED to give baseless backhanded compliments, it's them damn children of the corn that infected Earth with mmmbop. But you took the time to judge and condemn me for doing so, implying a sincere desire to have my opinion changed. OR PERHAPS I'M JUST PARANOID!!! (flashes an indulgent "I'm so totally NOT" smirk). Now if you'll excuse me, I have a whiteboard on which to doodle my theories that "Where's The Love" is a socialist manifesto.

Saying that an opinion is unfair is, as far as I'm concerned, tantamount to saying it's wrong. At the very least they're in the same ballpark, because opinion by definition is based on perspective. I was once like you, afraid of differing opinions I considered "unfair," because I was weak and insecure and I thought they might change me. But opinions are rarely as mutually exclusive as they appear. Apparently, you saw some spark in Hanson's creative peak to think "Hmmmbop, I ought to keep following these guys even when the rest of the world doesn't." I saw no such spark. Neither of us should be condemned for the road we take, but each road carries with it a skewed and thus "unfair" perspective. But instead of actually PRESENTING your perspective (i.e. by saying "I dunno, 2001's 'NNNBop' and 2004's 'OOOBop' were pretty cool, you should check them out...") you merely condemned mine.

Can we all agree that Black Eyed Peas blow?

[FredHuggins]

They do? Where do I sign up?

[RyanHippFTW]

Have no fear, expect a well thought out rebuttal later this evening. Now, I have other, more important things to do. Like record a faux-Yoko Ono rock anthem. Excuse me.

[FredHuggins]

Or we could just leave it where it is and move on with our lives, that'd be fine with me. But suit yourself...
