Dear [CUSTOMER_FIRST_NAME],

We're writing you that the feature you use the most in our services will be sunset soon. We'd invite you to familiarize yourself with another completely unrelated feature that you will not have the need for. We are doing this in our ever continuing effort to enhance our services and that we could serve you better. Also your service fee will raise by 5€.

Thank you for being our valued customer and pray we don't alter the deal any further!

"Living with a Hernia" is a song by "Weird Al" Yankovic. The song is a #parody of "#LivingInAmerica" by #JamesBrown, from the film #RockyIV. The song mostly describes the terrible "aggravation" and "back pain" that a #hernia causes. The narrator himself claims to be suffering from a hernia, and that he's "Got to have an operation".

Tonight's movie is another classic comedy that's a favorite of mine: UHF (1989). It's Weird Al Yankovic's first movie and it's free to stream on Tubi and PlutoTV!

"An unemployed visionary becomes the manager of a local television station. The station becomes a success, with all sorts of hilarious sight gags and wacky humor."

Stars Weird Al Yankovic, Victoria Jackson, Michael Richards, Kevin McCarthy, Fran Drescher, David Bowe, Billy Barty, & Gedde Watanabe.

Directed by Jay Levey
Music by John Du Prez
