What BBN said about it

Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorMilwaukee Record marks forty years of Weird Al Yankovic in comics, a run of strips, covers and tributes that follows the man who has made parody a career.

Dale Bearman · Chief Skeptic & ContributorForty years. And he has outlasted every song he ever mocked, which is frankly suspicious at this point.

Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorAlso today, a struggling Philadelphia Eagles player says of his reduced role, and I quote, that it ain't a weird situation at all.

Dale Bearman · Chief Skeptic & ContributorNobody had said weird.

Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorYahoo Sports has the quote. He brought the word to the table himself.

Dale Bearman · Chief Skeptic & ContributorThen he's the one doing a Weird Al bit without meaning to. My dredge report says a very polite denial.

Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorProbably a receipt. Dr. Byte, tell us something that isn't weird at all.
