I love this parody, I find it hilarious. But I think if released today, it would be seen as bullying overweight people. We are too offensive now. There's is even a crack at the Chinese in there that wouldn't fly today.
The pavement cracks when I fall down
I've got more chins than Chinatown.
Well, I've never used a phone booth
And I've never seen my toes
When I'm goin' to the movies
I take up seven rows
When I walk out to get my mail
It measures on the Richter scale
Down at the beach I'm a lucky man
I'm the only one who gets a tan
If I have one more pie a la mode
I'm gonna need my own zip code
Consensus is not a fact-based exercise.
You're tied and bound to this self-indulgent enterprise.

No. I can still play it on my PC.
In this world, evil will always win…
