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

With tongue firmly in cheek, we've decided to go "negative" with our newest campaign ad, calling the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame out for not only ignoring Al this year but also for ignoring another act in their first year of eligibility.

And now that the 2009 nominations are out, there is no better time to write to the Rock Hall to express your disappointment that they did not give Al the nod:
Rock and Roll Hall of Fame Foundation
Attn: Joel Peresman
1290 Avenue of the Americas
New York, NY 10104
USA
In your letter to the foundation, be sure to mention whether or not you have ever visited the Rock Hall itself before; and if not, tell them that Al's induction would prompt you to do so.
We're still figuring one or two minor things out, but hopefully tomorrow we'll be able to announce our latest campaign activity; a sort of annual tradition for this campaign. Stay tuned!
