Weird Al's "Canadian Idiot"
« on: November 22, 2006, 07:27:20 pm »
Not sure how I feel about this... It's his version of Green Day's "American Idiot," which, really, was far more inflammatory.  You be the judge.

Lame but very mildly amusing.  Not as good as Young 'n Nerdy.

Can't say that I really liked it. The song was sub par for weird al. And that's not saying much considering I don't think he's funny to begin with.

I just watched it again and it's clear that it's not an official Weird Al video.  It seems more amusing now.

Seems that everything he is making fun of us for is what makes us better than Americans. Jealousy?


Canadians rock.

That was rather uncalled for.  And a complete falsehood, to boot.   >:(

I don't know how HE wants to play it, but from over here YOU called him an idiot, for no apparent reason.

I don't think you disagreed at all. You went straight to insulting him and called him an idiot. But I do agree that it makes you a moron.

Don't let the door hit you on the a$$ on the way out if that's the way you want to play it.

Does seem to have an "attitude" problem. Oh, well. Can always use the ignore button.

For clarification, I did err. This is the offending post:

That's how CR works. It is based on survey results rather than impressions. The previous generation was below average, so barring data, the best guess is "below average". Now the results are in for 1 year, and they have been pretty so far, thus the upgrade.  :thumbup: :thumbup:

Guess work??? If they are to be respected then there should be no guess work!! They end up doing more damage than good.

You are indeed a grade A moron!! Prediction IS, by it's very nature, an educated GUESS!!!  ::) ::) ::)

Having gotten very tired of reading his insulting (to others, not me) posts and inane comments, I finally lost all patience with his obvious inability to understand that predictions ARE ALWAYS guesses. I should not, however, called HIM a "grade A moron", but should have simply referred to his post as being moronic. For that I do apologize.  :-[ :-[

True enough, but, out of idle curiousity, I went back and read every one of shemp's posts (I know, slow day here) and there is a fair degree of antagonism there, and it would be easy to get annoyed at many of the posts. I do think it may be ignore time for those that find the poster to be a problem.
