Man drunkenly drafts Change.org petition to have Weird Al Yankovic perform at the Super Bowl
Halibutboy Flatface stashed this in Arts
Stashed in: Blues Brothers!, @alyankovic, @pattonoswalt, Indiana Jones
Great idea... or the GREATEST idea? I'm sure that you too are tired of hot, sexy floozies in micro-mini skirts flouncing around the stage during halftime of the Super Bowl, shoving their corsetted breasts and fishnetted thighs into America's face in the name of "entertainment". Rest assured that nothing of the kind will happen if Weird Al takes the stage! Sign the petition on Change.org today, and JOIN US in restoring polka to its rightful place as the jewel in the crown of family-friendly musical spectacles!
Weird Al would be better than many previous Superbowl halftime shows:
For anyone who thinks Weird Al would make a mockery of the Super Bowl halftime show, keep in mind the list of performers includes Carol Channing (twice), Indiana Jones (yup), Chubby Checker, the Blues Brothers, George Burns and Mickey Rooney (together), Brian Boitano and Dorothy Hamill (also together) and New Kids on the Block and Mickey Mouse (again, together). And let's not forget Elvis Presto:
Honestly, if Up With People was allowed to perform at four different halftime shows, it's only right the NFL lets Yankovic play one. Word began to leak that Bruno Mars would headline Super Bowl XLVIII this past September, so stay tuned. And, remember, Yankovic has one more Grammy on his mantle than Mars.
Patton Oswalt predicted Weird Al in the Superbowl grassroots campaign in May:
