People on tumblr are still going after Al for saying "spastic" in word crimes. I really wish those people would leave him alone.

Weird. Because it seems like when I go through the weird al tag there is always at least one person complaining about him and how "problematic" his songs are.

Oh, I guess the haters don't bother with his last name (or don't even necessarily know how to spell it :lol: ), so they're in "weird al" tag, but not in "weird al yankovic".

True very true. If they can't spell his name then they really have no business bad mouthing him. I swear people hate for the sake of it! :|

Over half of the people in this country are stupid. 90% of those people post in social networks. I wish this guy :jp: could get them.

He who hates Weird Al Yankovic must hate life. That is pretty much what tumblr is the only good thing about the social network site is the Al stuff. Of course, Al makes anything good. :D

I was at the bank with my Al shirt on and of course the tellers like "Weird Al", nice! I love the A-hole song. The
teller beside him is like, that's Denis Leary, and he's like no it was "Weird Al". Don't know why I even mentioned the fact that Al would not say the A word in his music, butthole maybe but doubtful. He was really persistent and truly wanted to continue to believe Al did the A-hole song, oh god, the ignorance was just too much.
What a racket they're makin', Jack, they keep me up at night playin' their electric guitars!!
