Until last week I hadn't watched Weird Al's UHF since I was a little kid. I had borrowed the DVD from Stephen at least six months ago and somehow hadn't gotten around to watching it. It was certainly worth the wait.
Ah, the memories came flooding back of cruising along in my parents' station wagon with all four little Burkas blaring "The Biggest Ball of Twine in Minnesota" and "I Think I'm a Clone Now". The movie was just as stupidly funny as my dusty memories recalled. "Who wants to drink from the firehose?"
Also of interest, UHF was called The Vidiot in some nations including New Zealand. Is this because they don't have the UHF band on television there?

The Vidiot!?
<p>Gadgetopia links to some amazing lyrics from All About the Pentiums:
<blockquote>
You've gotta be the dumbest newbie I've ever seen
You've got white-out all over your screen
You think your Commodore 64 is really neato
What kinda chip you got in there, a Dorito?
You're usin' a 286? Don't make me laugh
Your Windows boots up in what, a day and a half?
...
You're waxin' your modem, tryin' to make it go faster
Hey fella, I bet you're still livin' in your parents' cellar
Downloadin' pictures of Sarah Michelle Gellar
And postin' "Me too!" like some brain-dead AOL-er
I should do the world a favor and cap you like Old Yeller
You're just about as useless as jpegs to Hellen Keller

Another Internet/Computer related parody would be his recent mocking of eBay.
