What are your feelings about the 'Oxford Comma'?

What are your views on the Oxford Comma? (aka the serial Comma)
I think it is a necessary part of grammar because without it, things would be a bit weird,
i.e.
Without the Oxford Comma: I love my parents, Lady Gaga and Humpty Dumpty.
(It suggests your parents are Lady Gaga and Humpty Dumpty)
With the Oxford Comma: I love my parents, Lady Gaga, and Humpty Dumpty.
(This now suggests that you love those three things, and that Lady Gaga and Humpty Dumpty are not your parents).
So, what is your view on the Oxford Comma?
