The refer to the children as 'target demographic'. Please be sure to use this in future.

Good ol' Weird Al. Just when I think I'm sick of him and had enough, he goes away. Then he comes back and cracks me up!

Not to mention... just how old is this video now? Way to be on the ball there MTV. Just when I thought I'd seen the highest level of incompetence and stupidity.

He who is tired of Weird Al is tired of life.

no mtv doesnt play videos, they have a website that hosts videos, which is entirely useless considering you can see any video ever on youtube already.

IIRC, MTV banned Wierd Al's Christmas at Ground Zero video because the footage of nuclear bombs going off was "too graphic".

But they still had Twilight Zone by Golden Earring where they sing about (and show) bullets hitting the bone.

Then again, the last time I watched MTV with any regularity was when the drummer for Def Leppard had two arms.

/Get off my lawn!
