A valid point, David, of course. But just because someone CAN interpret
something in an unhealthy way doesn't mean that it's the artist's fault when
someone DOES interpret something in an unhealthy way. All I'm saying is
that a piss-take, over-the-top video by Fountains of Wayne shouldn't be
factored into the decline of Western civilization when it's pretty obvious
that they're in on the joke...
Okee-doke, I'm done now...
