The point is whether you believe all the lyrics to be true - I don't

but
whether you or I like it or not there is a cross section of the public
who hate LUL, its staff and the way they feel they get treated when

they
use the system.


I'm still wondering whether the singer *does* believe the lyrics to be
true, or whether he's just *parodying* the sort of people who do.
Either way, it isn't clear, ad so the song totally misses its target --
whatever that target just happened to be. As a result, it's not funny
at all, just a confused ugly mess. Didn't even make me smile once.

(Still, it's interesting that some posters here did enjoy it. Odd that
you're so easily amused. Maybe I paint a wall and you could all watch
it dry. That would give probably give you hours of fun!)

Thankfully I am not you and you are not me. Praise the fact that we are
all different. Any way it really makes no difference to anyone's life
what this song was or was not trying to achieve.

You could come and paint some walls in my house for free. I'm sure I
would smile for hours after that.

Paul Corfield ) gurgled happily, sounding much like
they were saying :

Gerrof 'im. He was talking to me.

Oi! Penguin! I found the song *really* funny, and desperately need some
walls painting. Do you do plastering, too?
