Imagine my excitement on Wednesday when I was alerted to William Shatner's horrendous 1978 rendition of Rocket Man. And even more exciting was the discovery of the Family Guy parody by baby Stewie. And it was stellar tele to see both versions juxtaposed on the same screen.

I was going to share this gut-wrenching experience here today, and we would all have lived happily ever after, a little more enriched by the stomach wrenching embarrassment. Alas, alack, 48 hours later, it looks like 20th Century Fox have spoiled the parody party and had the footage withdrawn from Youtube. Sorry, folks.

If you would care to go to 20th Century Fox store and spend umpteen dollars on a Family Guy DVD, be my guest.

I would have thought that since Apple dragged the music corporations kicking and screaming into the 21st century, there was ample evidence that an expansive on-line presence was all good for media moguls. But apparently, video fat cats still don't get it. Perhaps when another 30 million video iPods have been sold they will wake up? Who knows.

Personally, I am going to express my disgust by not buying any Family Guy memorabilia plus I will stop watching Family Guy too. What do you say to that TCF? Does it feel profitable to be so exclusive and out of touch with how the internet works to the advantage of those who use it properly? And what is it with a company that is so damn good at what it does that it forgot to buy the rights to 21st Century Fox. Next dinosaur for the chopping block, please.
