That would be interesting to know. Actually, this whole thread got started because of a satire piece written about the death of Weird Al's parents. "The Onion" (I think) published the lyrics to a joke song about the death of his parents that was exactly the kind of stuff Weird Al writes about other people's songs. Many of the folks replying to the thread not only expressed outrage, but voiced the opinion that they would write protest letters/boycott/ect., etc., against "The Onion."
I gathered that the thrust of their arguments was "I think it's in bad taste. I don't like it. Therefore, that publication should cease to exist."
I just don't get that type of thinking.
