I noticed what may be an error. It says that Star Wars: Episode 1 was released just two weeks before this album, then it says that the album was released July 29, 1999. Episode 1 was released sometime in May. theres something wrong with this. SECProto 15:43, 28 Nov 2004 (UTC)

there is also a gaming company that made Go Postal and Go Postal II (with Gary Coleman I believe) called "Running with Scissors".

[edit] Page move

This page was moved from "Running With Scissors (album)" to "Running with Scissors (album)" as per the naming convention set out at Wikipedia:Naming conventions#Album titles and band names – Ianblair23 (talk) 02:54, 2 November 2005 (UTC)

Every source I find that lists the name of this album has "With" capitalized. Does the wikipedia naming convention trump how the artist has decided to set the capitalization for his work? I would like to suggest changing the name of this article back to include the capitalized "With".

Since no one has responded, I'm going to be bold and just do it. -- BullWikiWinkle 18:13, 4 April 2008 (UTC)
I was unable to complete the move because there is already a (redirect) page at the new location. -- BullWikiWinkle 18:27, 4 April 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Johnny Cash

Is "Truck Drivin' Song" really a style parody of Johnny Cash in particular? It seems like it could be seen as a parody of many country artists. Anyone have a source for this? Catamorphism 20:33, 12 November 2005 (UTC)

Truck Drivin' Song is very clearly a rough parody of Junior Brown's "Semi-Crazy". He sounds JUST like him while singing this song. Anyone who has heard both will understand.PiccoloNamek 05:09, 25 September 2006 (UTC)

I agree.. I just listened to Truck Drivin' Song.. The vocals are almost identical to any Junior Brown song and the song sounds simliar to him.. --Drowse 21:38, 18 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Negative Horoscope?

Personally, I don't think that the horoscope for Leo in "Your Horoscope For Today" is negative. The horoscope is: "Now is not a good time to photocopy your butt and staple it to your boss's face oh no, eat a bucket of tuna flavored pudding and wash it down with a gallon of strawberry Quick" What's so bad about that?

[edit] Microsoft Connection

I don't know, something about that line screams WP:OR to me. Anyone have a comment? ---- GIGGAS2 | Talk 19:54, 3 April 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Album Cover

I get the fact that on the cover, Al is "running with scissors", but whats with the right side of the cover? I don't exactly get it.... A Jorb Well Done 00:51, 8 April 2007 (UTC)

  • The album cover is actaully two seperate pictures. The one with Al "running with scissors", is pasted over a close up of a track. It kinda confused me too.--Gen. Quon 17:21, 15 June 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Germs

I'm nor pretty sure that this is based in I'm afraid of americans by david bowie, i'm sure it's terrible lie by Nine Inch Nails 201.244.228.214 16:54, 10 June 2007 (UTC)

  • Yankovic has stated that it is a 100% Nine Inch Nails style-parody. I don't know where "I'm Afraid of Americans" by David Bowie fits into this? I'm changing it.--Gen. Quon 17:20, 15 June 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:Weirdal scissors.jpg

Image:Weirdal scissors.jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.
