During all the non-stop Michael Jackson montages the past couple days, as I found myself automatically singing lines like, "don't want no Captain Crunch, don't want no Raisin Bran," and "don't you know that other kids are starving in Japan," it made me realize how much I've been jonesing for a dose of Weird Al. A big, fat, double-dose even.

Perhaps now, more than ever, we need the soothing tones of "Eat It" (click image above to play video in a new window) and "Fat" (after the jump, same deal.)

Let the healing begin, people.

I drove by Hardee's a couple of days ago and saw they were selling "biscuit holes". What? Biscuits don't have holes! I suppose they wanted a name for this product besides "really tiny biscuits", and hoped people would think of doughnut holes. And the marketing department is asking you to "name our holes"! The ads remind me of the Burger King seven-incher ad. Does it take porn to sell fast food these days? Best Week Ever just took the idea, put it in a handbasket, and ran with it. The above is just the tamest of nine Photoshopped ads they created.

Take one of your favorite childhood toys. Put it in the hands of an artist and there's a whole lot of blog fun.

All of you who have Facebook accounts - we need a little help. We've set up a new Fan Page (very bare bones right now), and over the next few weeks will be playing with it more, and introducing new features here to link the two together, but in the meantime, I just need to get 25 fans between now and midnight tonight so I can reserve a fancy URL - so if you have an account, can you take the time - like right now - to click here, and then "become a fan"?

kthxbye
