I thought it was hilarious, actually. I mean, gabber/breakbeat is already a dumb joke anyway, so why not make it as dumb as it can possibly be! Somehow, I can't see it as a big threat to the public conception of "what techno is." (As if there were a good solid definition of techno anyway...) I mean, if Fierce Ruling Diva hadn't done it, Weird Al Yankovic probably would have got there eventually... There's a whole FRD album out now. I don't think I'll be buying it, but it would be interesting to hear what the other tracks are like. I really liked their version of Get Down Tonight. /jon
