"Weird Al used music videos brilliantly. His parodies of both Michael Jackson and Madonna were even more memorable than the original videos themselves." |

Well, it looks like we have a round of congratulating to do today.
First, congrats to Al and the band, as the "White & Nerdy" single has recently gone Platinum! This is the first time an Al single has received a Platinum Record. As if that wasn't enough, the song has also received a second Gold Record for ringtone sales!
Also, congrats to the team at Doogtoons for winning in the "Best Animated Video" category in the online Yahoo! Video Awards for their animated interview segment "Al’s Childhood." They had also animated the popular "Trapped in the Drive-Thru" music video and are planning to release some more Al interviews throughout the year.
Finally, this is the LAST CALL...there is just one week left to get any and all petition signatures sent in to us. This is it! Pencils down! Get them into envelopes and send them in NOW! If they don't arrive to us by March 31, we cannot accept them and will not use them for any future project.
Send your signatures in to us now! If you don't know what to do, e-mail us as soon as possible!
