YOU SUCK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
In popular culture
In 2006, "Weird Al" Yankovic gained James Blunt's permission to record a parody of "You're Beautiful." However, after Yankovic had recorded "You're Pitiful," Atlantic Records rescinded this permission. The parody was pulled from Yankovic's Straight Outta Lynwood due to his label's unwillingness to "go to war" with Atlantic. Yankovic released the song as a free download on his MySpace profile, as well as his official website, since it was not Blunt himself objecting to the parody. In the "White & Nerdy" video, Yankovic's character is seen vandalizing the record label's Misplaced Pages entry with the exclamation "YOU SUCK!" After the video was released online, Misplaced Pages's Atlantic Records article mirrored the video with numerous "vandals" editing it. Due to its constant vandalism, the Atlantic Records page on Misplaced Pages is semi-protected to this day. Yankovic has said that he does not approve of the vandalism, though he admits being amused by it.
