Two oopies:

* The album isn't coming out next Tuesday.
* The WaN video isn't included on the DualDisc.

Those are two pretty big oopies. Read the press release, people.

It's awesome that White and Nerdy has gotten that many views, though.

I can't believe it's gotten that many views!!! Do you think that includes views if someone hits share and steals the html code for their Myspace page, for example? Just curious.

EEEEEEEEE!

Can anyone describe that pendant Al wears in the video where Al's wearing the orange doo rag and black hoodie? or provide a clear picture of it?

Yeah, I was watching the video for it and looking, pausing on it and I still have no idea. It looks mostly round though. I'm no help on this.

That do rag is red, isn't it?? I wanna make a cookie dressed like that, so I wanna be sure. Looks red to me. Anyway, I'll have to try and get a better look at the pendant.

I just watched the video, pausing it as I went, and for the life of me I couldn't make out EXACTLY what that pendant was...it looked like kind of a rounded off dollar sign...

I can't tell if the doorag is orange or red!

Maybe my eyes are just going bad...

I'm 99% sure it's red. I can't see the pendant clearly, though. Come on, Al. We want the HD version!

Wikipedia once listed the pendant as being the Deep Space Nine space station.

Hmm...well I think it's fair enough to say no one will have bling QUITE like Al's...

The thing that amazed me most about this song, are all the nerdy references Al quickly zips through. I don't think he missed a single nerd stereotype. I'd hate to admit this, but I actually remember watching that stupid Star Wars Christmas special when it originally aired on TV. Yes, it was very stupid by the way ... a real waste of time to watch.

I wonder how many people here caught the M C Escher reference and who here actually has heard of him? For those of you who don't know about M C Escher, check out this website at www.mcescher.com. Escher was famous for creating these optical illusion sketches; his most famous of these sketches involved lots of stairways, and you can't tell whether the stairs lead up or down.

I couldn't believe some of the nerd stereotype interests Al included in the song and video. I'm still laughing and can't stop. I love this song. It's so funny and clever as hell.
