I'm absurdly relieved...
...to find out that the MP3 I downloaded of "Which Backstreet Boy is Gay" is not by Weird Al Yankovic, as it had been advertised.
I like a bit of gay innuendo as much as the next gal, and boy bands are funny. Talking about how boy bands are gay is even funnier. But my smile faded as I realized that it was a mean-spirited song, and not worthy of the Al I had always admired. See, I grew up listening to Dr. Demento on my clock radio (and not just because Dr. Demento was broadcast directly before the forbidden fruit of Dr. Ruth Weistheimer). So I was ridiculously upset to find that this nasty, unfunny song had come from the great man who produced the cinematic classic UHF.
But it didn't. Thanks to the Not Al page, I can go back to liking Al.
The internet giveth, the internet taketh away, but sometimes the internet giveth back again.
