If
it seems like everytime you turn around you're getting email about
some really cool Internet service you belonged to that is suddenly
merging with Yahoo, it's probably because Yahoo has become the
largest and most used "everything" service on the Internet.
Gone are the days when they were just another search engine. Now,
they sell jewelry, host web pages, monitor your site statistics,
conduct polling, etc., etc., etc. There's nothing they can't do. In
effect, Yahoo has become almost larger than the whole Internet itself.
Enter
another larger-than-life entity. He goes by the name of Weird Al
Yankovic. Well, Al is up to his old tricks, doing what he does best:
poking fun. The object of his good-natured ribbing? You got
it--Yahoo!
At
his Yahoo parody site, Weird Al has taken the super giant Internet
service to task, and modeled his satire to look just like the Yahoo
site, all the while navigating to spots that only Weird Al can take
you. There's "Weird Al News," "Weird Al Pages,"
pictures, and the largest online shopping center of exclusive Weird
Al merchandise. Who could ask for anything more?
Yankovic.org
is bound to at least make you smile, and exploring through the
various links will take you to some laugh-out-loud destinations. And
that's why it's YourMVP's "Link of the Week."
