It's big (1920x1200 hence the name) so I'm not gonna embed it here. It's a wallpaper from Weird Al's "Straight Outta Lynwood" CD.

Something about the pic makes me think it was chopped more than it was posed/staged. Whaddayouthink?

I mean I KNOW that the do some post-shot work on publicity photos but that scene looks too overdone to be all from a photoshoot.

I say both.
I see some elements that make me think chopped, and some elements that make me think some of it was posed...but I think it was all chopped together in the end anyway...if that makes sense...

But I think the real question here is...

Just what were you doing at Weird Al's site???

Why wouldn't I be there ? Why wouldn't everyone want to go there?

Actually he's got a song "Don't Download This Song" and I wanted to hear it. Plus there's a video done by Bill Plympton (the pencil sketch animator) so I HAD to see that. From there I found the song "Too White and Nerdy" and that just rang so dear to me.

From there it was just one hyperlink after another until I stumbled across the wallpapers. I saw hi-res and thought "hmmmmmm.... external source fodder?" so I had to look.

Riiiiiiiiiiight.


I know how it is...you have every intention to go to a site and look at just one thing...and end up digging as deep as you can go!

...From there tofu went out and bought a long, curly wig. From there, he went to city hall and legally changed his name to "Tofu the Weird".

From there, he climbed up onto his roof and staged a performance for the neighborhood, featuring his new song Oops! I chopped it again. A disoriented elderly woman and 3 stray cats attended the show.

Its chopped, I say

That actually looks like a picture from a rapper called "game"

They just swapped the lynwood name and chopped his head and hands in "looks like"

And I have to agree with DP, what are you doing on wierd Al's site???

hahahah , i kid, i kid

I love you E!

It looks like a combination of photo-realistic photoshopping, and some actual scene shots that have been cleaned up and PS'd for atmosphere. It's meant to be a copy of NWA's Straight out of Compton.

Also, Im with you Tofu... I'm a Weird Al fan. 100%. Saw him up in NH last year and he actually puts on a really great show! I was surprised.

Btw.. check out his "you're pitiful" song on his site. The record company pulled it from the disk. Too bad, its friggin great.
