You have been officially warned: do not come for "Weird Al" Yankovic, especially if you're attempting to come for other Als.*
The parody master has officially distanced himself from the likes of Al Franken, Al Pacino, and other Als when Yankovic filed a trademark application for his stage name "Weird Al" earlier this year. Just last week the move was officially approved—right on time, too, considering the sexual assault allegations (http://mashable.com/2017/11/16/al-franken-leeann-tweeden-grope-sexual-assault/?utm_campaign&utm_context=textlink&utm_medium=rss&utm_source) that have circled Franken recently.

If you really feel compelled to insult Franken, Sharpton, Gore, Roker, or Pacino... PLEASE CHOOSE A DIFFERENT NICKNAMEpic.twitter.com/RTfTTQaWkE (https://t.co/RTfTTQaWkE)
