Newsflash for Fox News: Your demographic consists entirely of old dads who listen to Hoagy Carmichael.

Fox News reviews Alpocalypse

Never mind. Can't show on the app that I edited this. Suffice it to say I don't agree with the review. I admittedly know next to nothing about The Lonely Island, and I thought they did parodies. Thanks to Jace for setting me straight.

Another thing--I'm guessing this was intended as a joke (in which case, it's far less funny than the reviewer found Al's album), but how could you not instantly realize that "Alpocalypse" = pun on "Apocalypse"? More importantly, in what alternate universe would it make sense to name an album after a brand of dog food?

Yeah, somebody who doesn't get that pun probably shouldn't be doing a review of a comedy album.

Interesting that Fox has a too-cool-for-school reviewer on staff too. They're EVERYWHERE. Too concerned with their own image to even actually pay attention to the supposed object of their efforts.

It amuses me that the reviewer thinks that "creepy dads" are into Hoagy Carmichael (1899-1981). Anyone who was a fan of HC when they were a teen would be a nonagenarian by now.
