Weird Al Yankovic fan starts Super Bowl halftime show petition

Why see the Black Eyed Peas perform at the Super Bowl when you could see Weird Al Yankovic?

One fan has started a petition asking exactly that.

Ed Ball, a fan from Seattle, started the online push to get the parody king booked for the Super Bowl halftime show. After all, Yankovic just had a number one album on the billboard charts with "Mandatory Fun."

Ball posted the petition to Change.org, which already has over 47,000 supporters. His pitch - do you really want to sit through more of the Black Eyed Peas, or listen to Miley Cyrus?

"The theatrics alone would be hilarious and a welcoming change, and draw a wider audience of fans that typically would not tune into the championship game or half-time show," Ball wrote in the petition.

Ball also admits he was drunk when he started his plan to get Yankovic to the Super Bowl.
