Sigh. It's been confirmed-- we the media people just don't get Rivers Cuomo. "Really, for the moment, we are done," he told MTV.com of Weezer in an interview last month (previously reported here). "And I'm not certain we'll ever make a record again, unless it becomes really obvious to me that we need to do one."

Translation? Apparently, all is well in Weez World.

Over the weekend, the band posted the following statement online:

"...A Public Service Announcement from the weez: We right here!

(except for Pat who's on a family vacation right now)

this PSA has been brought to you by the fine guacamole dip at Scott Shriner's house, co-sponsored by a ring of fine cheese, and a dish of fresh figs from the back yard. Now please, take those 'weezer split?' headlines and place them firmly into the 'Don't believe the hype' bin. And have yourself a fine afternoon now."

This is like watching a fish flop around out of water. After getting shot and undergoing several weeks of starvation. Somebody, anybody, please put it out of its misery already.
