Stories of a short, fat bastard.

Well, either he or his lawyers/agents/producers/handlers/people who think for him has signed a contract to let Al release the parody song. They're blocking Al from making the video, but at this point, they probably can't block the song itself - even if M&M really, really wants to. Heh. Or he could do the Snoopy Doggie thing, and say afterwards how horrible Al is, and how he was taken advantage of, & etc. :D
