Bombers... forgot to take your meds? ;-)

Maybe they're suffering from the potential side-effects. Or calling the TV ambulance chaser law firms to get in on the latest class-action suit against last year's infomercial remedy.

Yeah Patrick, there's nothing like watching your favorite tv show on network or cable and then a range of commericals on Erectile Dysfunction, Contraception, Vaginal mesh lawsuits, pre-lubed catheters, diabetes devices, weight loss pills and weight management, hearing aids, 81 mg aspirins, and so on. The pharmaceuticals want you to be on brand names from cradle to grave. So like E-dependency (every new electronic device and upgrade) we now have P (Pill) dependency too. Healthcare is just another multi-billion business right now. You're either sick and need treated or need to take preventative-whatever for life! I am permanenlly disabled and am trying to recover somewhat but lost my Aetna insurance. So it's generics now at Walmart and Costco!!!

Commercials too short, lack subtlety, often already derivative. Why dilute your other stuff with these? Don't get it.

Because the material still qualifies to be made into a parody and there really is no difference between a short OS of 10 lines or less and a commercial jingle. I use ALL meterials including the jingles, hymns, poetry, kids songs, traditionals, skit materials from series, whatever works for me. And it IS a bit of a challenge to work a lot of info into such a small package. This one is syllabic aligned, structure aligned, and title rhymes. Has a message that is true. I find being a "Popper" as opposed to a "Pepper" amusing and obviously due to numbers of hits and votes- others do too. Not the first nor the last to do any of the above listed materials... Also, no dilution to me at all. A true parodist parodies EVERYTHING!!!

"AIR: making fun of music one song at a time...." My take is "making fun of/with music..". But if you and others find these fragmentary barely-singable bits work, I 'm sorry I asked.

Gee Giorgio, what have you contributed to AiR besides negative feedback? Fair question. As for this parody of the OJ, it IS singable just like the original. All I added at the end was FOREVER! If you think music needs instrumentation, then I suggest you watch "Pitch Perfect" (again, I am the only one that parodied "Starships" from that in Fragments). I have ideas for the riff-offs and end mash-ups but can't decide what topic fits all the songs correctly- a matter of alignment and syllabic count matching and of course, rhyming :)

You're not saint, LL. You criticize and treble-rate and even 1-bomb b/c you do not like topics that go against what you believe. Can you even prove that LL isn't another S/N for another Aussie (female critic)? The "Cowardly Lioness of Oz?" And I HAVE broken the records here for productivity from scratch. I have created 25+ new author pages by myself and filled them with submissions. I dominate Fragments + 6 more categories with numbers 2, 4, and 6 for the other three. I am unique because I am both Top 10 Parodist (#4) and Top 10 Contributor (#6) SIMULTANEOUSLY!!! I am the only one of 500+ authors total on this site that does KPOP on a regular basis and have been first to cover artists like Pussy Riot and the latest releases from Gaga, Ke$ha, and all the popular Pop artists. First to do "ARTPOP", only one brave enough to cover the Dark Knight Massacre with 8 parodies in one day. First to do 22 parodies in one day (JAB compiled 100 over several days). So please spare me what I have and have not done. NO, I have never left negative comments on other people's parodies, only slight corrections historically or technically. And I rated my enemies 555s despite their political, social, sporting, and religious beliefs. My page speaks for itself with nearly 2100 parodies of all types, from all genres, from all time periods, and using unorthodox materials as well. As usual, you use broad generalizations about me and my works, but ignore those that had done the same things long before I was ever on AiR. Sorry that you have such low numbers and that you think you are perfect. Check your sheet, it is no column of perfect 5s. No such thing as practice makes perfect either, just progression. The pacing police also have maybe 500 parodies individually and their sheets are not perfect 5s either. So get off your high horses and/or soapboxes. Your group excels at negative comments and criticism, but I am a former NG tyrant, so your attempt to attack me thread-style on my page will not stand. I can hit you with stats all day and equally rip apart your parodies at will. It normally takes an entire group to fight me, so you and your pals are like Shermans up against a King Tiger. At 8:1 kill ratio you and your 3 pals are outgunned. You haven't been able to dent my armor at all, nor force me off-site, or have your personal attacks stick either. What's the matter, can't follow the comment box rules? Poor LL & Co. Don't waste my time and yours. Read: I don't value your opinions at all. You are inconsequential to me regardless if you bomb me or just waste your time playing Modem Mouse Warrior! I am smarter than you. YOU are not fooling anyone with your MO. And what comes around goes around. But you know that, so why try to provoke me? You lose- period.

Amiright's parody submission rules are minimal length of 10 lines. Some exceptions have been made at the webmaster's/editor's discretion.

I note that you've had my comment defending Giorgio Conigli's outstanding contributions here and drawing attention to your blatant vote-rigging (for which the circumstantial evidence is overwhelming) removed. That's a first for me. I guess I should be congratulated.

Your battle analogies are amusing. I would be loath to encounter your formidable arsenal on the battlefield. Unfortunately for you, the weapon of choice here is words, and a showdown with you is like Wyatt Earp vs Billy Clanton.

So far you've accused me of one-bombing, attacking you anonymously, conspiring with my 'pals' (whoever they may be), being a member of the 'pacing police' - oh yeah, and being a 'sock-puppet' (I can't think of a more appropriate term for a soldier, who is told who to hate and when to kill).

I guess we'll have to include 'liar' in there too because I've already told you none of your accusations are true. In fact, I seem to be the only regular here who consistently criticizes you under their own parody pen name, and I disapprove of anonymous barbs and trolls. I just say the things I think need to be said, and I want people to know who I am when I'm saying it, whether they agree or disagree. Now you've taken to accusing me of being somebody else. Do you seriously think I wouldn't immediately complain if someone falsely commented under my name? As the real 'Lifeliver' hasn't done that, I think you can safely assume that I'm me. But I'm not going to ask you to withdraw your accusations. I'd prefer to see them stand here for all to see what a wild-eyed, desperate shot you are.

I think you misunderstand me. I don't mind your subject matter, in fact it's sometimes informative and interesting, and the same goes for the wealth of background material too. But I've yet to see a piece that truly rocks, like some of JAB's, despite your phenomenal output. You have your regular supporters, especially gun enthusiasts (Patrick and Callmelennie come to mind, contributors with whom I've managed so far to maintain a relationship of great mutual respect) and good luck to them.

No, my beef is simple: you inundate the site with mediocre parodies in your quest for AIR immortality, and you viciously attack anybody who thinks you shouldn't, mostly by using the voting system corruptly to cultivate your allies and destroy your enemies. That should be enough to have you barred from the site.

You once asked why I comment more than parody. Do you think I enjoy writing this petty, feuding crap? I comment because I care about the ethos of the site. When I first came here, I found a rare, lively community of creative writers who gave earnest feedback in good faith. You've done a great deal to destroy that, and many of those creative people have disappeared.

I know you'll go on your merry way 'producing' one forgettable creation after another till you drop dead, though I'm sure there are more productive things you could do with your (obviously ample) time. Same goes for me. I've said what I needed to say. From now on I'll try not to bother you and work around you, as others do. But if this comment is removed, I'll be taking further action.
