It has been said that sarcasm doesn't always translate to print. It's apparently having trouble in video form, as well.

Despite a clearly tongue-in-cheek video PSA posted on YouTube last week by Kid Rock in which he gives fans his approval not only to illegally download his music but to get sticky-fingered on all manner of other material needs, from Toyotas to iPods, the rocker has apparently decided to cover his tracks and clarify his remarks.

"I was just trying to have some fun with it," he disclaimed to reporters today at the Buick Open Pro-Am in Michigan.

Too bad he had to go and spoil it with unnecessary clarification.
