The actor who played the bottom half of the original "Camel" was kicked to death by an actual camel with lung cancer.

accommodation is one of the least accommodating words around, since it doesn't accept being spelled or spelt with only one m.

The first person to write a dictionary using the word "accommodation" was a homeless man, kicked to death by a camel.

The narrator of Alanis Morisette's masterpiece:



Gotta love how people want to tell her that she's an idiot because they don't get the irony.

It’s ironic that the Red Sox just won the World Series and the Pats just won the Super Bowl.

Very ironic.

You are very clearly mistaken, grammatically and factually.

wikipedia wrote:On April 15, Fergie confirmed to E! News that she thought that the parody was hilarious and genius. Fergie sent Alanis a cake in the shape of a derrière.[41][42]


Perhaps you were trying to be ironic?

Sorry for not using completely proper English in my criticism of a really really bad pop song.

I’ll try again.

That music video of Alanis covering “My Humps” is horrible. Additionally, the cover version of that song is horrible all by itself, even without the horrible video attached.

Now, grammatically I am better?

Factually... well since I am clearly expressing a subjective opinion, my own person subjective opinion, then I am factually correct.

Thanks. I am glad that posts on this Internet forum are corrected like 5th grade English papers.

You should be!

Subjectively you are wrong factually and you are literally no longer allowed to metaphorically have an opinion on this, or even if it is a simile, to like or dislike Alanis Morisette parodies.

Alanis Morisette is a parody.

Actually it’s a fact that I’m still able to post my subjective opinion that I truthfully believe this song and video suck. Furthermore, I expect it’s factually correct that I’ll continue to be to express said subjective thoughts until or unless I do something that technically violates forum rules and earns me a true ban.

I think I may have pushed this too far. I usually hope someone gets the joke by this point.

Sorry, but as an apology, have this hilarious parody of Fergie done by Alanis Morisette:

I understand it’s a parody.

I do sometimes like things that are “so bad they’re funny”.

This song/video was just so bad it was bad.

It went from bad/bad to bad/funny all the way back to bad/bad.

It was just so bad I didn’t care for the joke because I had to stop the noise.

So yea... I know it’s a joke. It just wasn’t funny enough to overcome its’ awfulness.

You should listen to the Black Eyed Peas covering it:

I get that certain types songs go with some types of music but not others.

I get that sometimes artists make covers of other songs not to pay homage to the original but to try to be funny or make some point.

I get that sometimes when these artists do this they are successful and make a funny pun or parody of the original.

I get that other times artists may attempt to be funny or make a point or parody a song and they FAIL MISERABLY.

I believe that Alanis’ Cover of ‘My Humps’ fell into the category of FAILURE to such a degree that it was not good, or funny, or poignant, or ironic... or really anything else but just horrible.

I was right about you- you're certainly on the first step. Neither the original song, nor its parody is poignant, Alanis merely sung it in an ironic parody of her own more poignant style.

You have started on the path, and now you have taken the first step of many.

Do not fear the path- it will take you towards wisdom.
