    all RHCP members have denounced this effort. Yes, they gave permission, but felt Yankovic tried to make them look stupid in the video. Which of course means, that Wierd Al nailed it perfectly.

    Yankovic goes above the minimum legal standard of just paying royalties and pretty much always asks for permission. After his mid 1980's work, how can anyone give that permission and then NOT expect at least a little ribbing? Morons. I'd say Anthony and the gang should just shut up and grow a set but I wonder if they still would have issue with it if it happened today...they seem to be a bit less, uhh, into themselves than they were back then.

    Reminds me of that not-so-old joke...
    ...how is Osama Bin Laden (or Sadam Husein, or a Hamas terrorist) like Fred Flintstone? When they look outside they both see rubble.

    I usually just laugh when everyone else does so nobody notices, but I'm pleased to say this time I guessed right. Years of mom stuffing those ****ty vitamins down my gullet paid off, Barney was the only one that didn't taste like HCl.
