Parodies

I just don't see the appeal to spoofing. Masses of viewers will track them on Youtube, but for what? A crude, manipulated version of something they've seen already? Excuse me, but to me, that's just plagiarism.

The makers of the spoofs are just as bad. Are they so uncreative that they take the time and effort to find alternative words for song lyrics? Or do they just have too much time. I never thought it could be both a waste of effort making something and a waste of time to see the effort, but now, anything is possible it seems.

Even the changes they make aren't that great. Replacing New York with New Dork? Insulting AND dumb.

Did you know that Weird Al first tried to make it but epically didn't as a respectable artist? And now, he is a sham.

And now a Justin Bieber analogy. Parodies are like a girl trying to be like Justin Bieber but growing a moustache in the process. Got it all wrong, and you were closer before you tried.
