Jared McAteer’s Blag - jaredmcateer.com

Weird Al, (was) a household name in parody (in the 90s,) has released his new single “Don’t Download This Song” for listenening on his myspace account (his myspace account?! For shame Al, for shame.) It’s a hilarious, tognue in cheek stabb at the RIAA.

Favorite line in the song:
“You start off stealing songs then your robbing liqour stores then selling crack and running kids over with your car.”

It really brings the ridiculousness of the RIAA’s tactics and propeganda to light in a way only Weird Al can. I suggest checking it out. Also there’s his song “You’re Pitiful” which James Blunt’s label wouldn’t let him put on his latest album so he’s offering it up free as well.

I came across this youtube video bored last night, it’s a hilarious spoof of the Mac commercials (which I despise… that’s a whole rant in of itself though.) I can’t wait for the Wii, and personally have been pretty much disinterested in the PS3 altogether, the following video illustrates why ;)

Just for Laughs, a comedy show often does pratical jokes (I beleive they have a seperate show just for that as well,) here in Canada and the UK (Just for Laughs UK). For the most part they are stupid, often not very funny, my dad loves them though. I came across this one that I found extremely amusing.

The look on the faces after they do their double take is simply pricesless. Although I hesitate to wonder how good an idea it is to do that to someone, if they had a weak heart or something.
