Wait, why is Weird Al making videos about magic beds in the first place?
Times are tough for parody artists
I call for a permanent kerning and specific stylization of the letter “I” so this issue is not further confused.
These are the dangers of sans-serif fonts.
I prefer calling it ‘a.i.’ because I’ll be damned if I’m going to give it capital letters.
Four characters feels like a lot of effort. I think I’d prefer to just not talk about it.
And I thought I was lazy. :) ‘ai’ works as well.
Steven Spielberg files suit in 3…2…
Just make serifs for the I standard, even with sans-serif fonts.
In this instance, just don’t capitalize the W in weird
This was actually my first thought when I saw the original headline 😂🤣 I watched the Weird Al mockumentary just last week (weird af, but I liked it overall? Kinda jumped a shark or three towards the end)
read it three times and was wondering why Trump would censor Yankovic
Dude. I genuinely thought it was “Weird AL”. Was losing my mind trying to figure out what the fuck was happening
I’m so happy to know I’m not the only one thinking Weird Al got deleted lmao.
Impossible, he’s far too powerful
You and me both! Probably a lot of us for that matter. What makes it worse is that the mental image of Weird AL making a short video singing about magic beds kinda tracks for me. I was just wondering what Trump was sharing it for. I know that man isn’t cool enough to have an appreciation for Weird AL
“Weird Al, or as I call him not so weird Al, because weird is such a nasty word. Nasty, nasty word. That’s what they called me. They called me weird, it was very unfair. I’m very Normal. But the media, and the left, the antifa, they called it wrong. They’re weird, everyone thinks so.”
-djt, probably
I was genuinely mad for a moment that this degenerate creep was dragging Weird Al into his nonsense.
“Medbeds” is a conspiracy that has spread extensively through far-right, QAnon circles. The idea is that the American government has access to futuristic medical pods that can cure any disease and even regrow limbs, but liberals have been hiding this information from the American public. One sect of QAnon believes the government is using a medbed to keep JFK alive.
Some companies have attempted to capitalize on the medbed conspiracy by promoting themselves as medbed-adjacent […] Tesla BioHealing sells a “MedBed Generator,” which is a metal canister that patients place under their actual bed, for $11,000.
In 2024, a Tesla BioHealing customer submitted a MAUDE Adverse Event Report to the FDA claiming the company’s MedBed Generator did nothing to heal his dying mother […]
I genuinely find it hard to understand how people who are this deeply stupid can even manage to keep themselves alive.
My roommate found a large dog on our front porch tonight. He turned his car around, aimed the headlights at it, then came up to the front of porch and took a picture of it to text me, BLOCKING ITS ONLY EXIT ROUTE.
I open the front door to see the shaking, scared dog ready to freak the fuck out and the roommate is getting out of his car to try and pet the cornered animal. I waved him off and kept the doors closed so it could feel safe and get away.
The more attention the dog got, the more violently it trembled. And my roommate just wants to pet the doggie.
My point is there are a lot of incredibly stupid people out there. Their stupidity will eventually kill them. It just hasn’t done so yet.
Yeah, roommate sounds like a proper muppet. But what happened with the dog?
I checked on it again later. Was still on the porch scared when I opened the front door to check but that scared it off.
Damn. Next time mate, just leave it a bowl of food outside.
Sorry, like dogs.
Not directly relevant, but: I live in a neighborhood that is not really great for walking since it has no sidewalks. It’s especially not great for walking at night since there are very few streetlights. Nevertheless many people walk here even after sunset, and the few people who carry flashlights have developed the strategy of shining the flashlight directly into the face of an approaching driver. It has apparently never occurred to them that blinding the driver of a two-ton vehicle heading straight at them is maybe not the wisest of ideas.
I suspect these are the same people that ride their bicycles against traffic, around blind turns, while wearing noise-canceling headphones.
Fair is fair for drivers blinding pedestrians with super brights.
Nor how they can scrape together $11,000. But then again, some of the dumbest people around are billionaires and their special skill is “being shitty to others” so maybe it’s believeable enough.
Many of the at least older ones are liquidating 401ks and the like… or debt. Lots of people will take out stupid loans from bank or friends and family for the next “sure thing” great idea.
I know a Trump cultist who never learned to chew and swallow steak. He’s almost died choking on it multiple times.
He still eats it regularly. Sometimes by himself.
I feel like he could capitalize on a Random Acts of Steak forum. And so could we, eventually.
Honestly, fear of death/aging/illness is an EXTREMELY powerful motivator. With a deep enough fear, you’ll override a lot of things like rationality. At some point, especially with a parent or loved one or yourself suffering from an incurable illness, especially a terminal illness, there’s a good chance you’ll try shotgunning solutions because it feels better than doing nothing.
Basically the medical fraudsters who have been praying on Desperate people for decades latched on to the conspiracy movement because it was a very large mass of very credulous people
*preying on
So like, he saw the video, didn’t remember making it, and just thought “Shit, I did something amazing, people gotta know!”.
This has to be the first time someone was tricked into believing something about themselves by AI, right? “I don’t remember doing that, but there’s video so it must have happened”
i’m sure someone’s pulled a prank on a friend who was blackout drunk where they made an AI video of friend doing something stupid. Like eating an entire 5 gallon jar of pickles without chewing or idk, this isn’t really my type of prank.
eating an entire 5 gallon jar of pickles without chewing
Go on…
“bizarre” or a font with serifs would have saved us all some confusion.
Weird AI Slopovic
I’m quite sure it was on purpose for clicks.
Trump deletes Weird Al video? Goddammit I want my Weird Al video, even though I don’t know what song he’s parodying with a title like ”Shilling Magic Beds”…
In any case Weird Al is a national treasure, you can’t just delete his videos willy-nilly goddammit!!
/s
that’s what I thought at first too.
The ultimate power move now is for Yankovich to make a song shilling magic beds.
The man is a genius so i have no doubt he can do it.
When did Weird Al start making tech spoof music videos instead of parody music videos?
You misread, I think. It’s a weird A1, like mayo flavored or something
Hmmm no I think maybe it’s Were-DEI: inclusion programs for half-human, half-animal individuals…
Also here. This is my YouTube clip channel with all content that is not my own. I make zero money from this.
It was very off putting to hear Trump speak in an adult mature way. Clearly terribly trained AI.
I love how deep-facebook boomer mindrot is the official stance of my government! It only got better when the mindrot could generate itself at the low low price of boiling an ocean!
Fuck this reality man. Who can I talk to about cashing it in for a new one?
I read the title as Weird AL and was very confused.
I would like all future headlines referring to Trump to specify his age.
it’s a common thing these days
He should know by now you can’t delete something from the internet.
Oh yes you can. Every try to visit a web site from the 90s? The Web is full of dead links and domains that no longer resolve to the original server.
Have a look at https://archive.org/
Also, there are lots of bots scraping the web to use for all sorts of things.
Nothing is ever gone from the internet.
Trump 79 dies…
This is just wild seeing this after enduring so many so-called leftists and centrists constantly jabbering about how BidenSoOld for four years. Biden started normal; Taco is starting off in unhinged territory already and is not going to get any more sane with time.
