Avast! Web pirates have made off with "The Odd Couple."
No, not the
Neil Simon play or film but the new album by platinum pop duo Gnarls Barkley. More than a month ahead of the record's April 8 release date, the Web is crawling with bootleg copies of the CD.
It's the second high-profile hiccup for Gnarls members
Cee-Lo and
Danger Mouse in less than a week: Their video for "Odd Couple's" first single, "Run," failed the Harding test -- a guideline designed to keep flickering seizure-inducing video off the air.
"Crazy," indeed.
