Auto-Tune the News

[Setting aside fears that we're the last to learn of The Gregory Brothers' "Auto-Tune the News," we present below our favorite example of what is arguably a new media type–one we at least associate with the previously featured "Hitler Finds Out" phenomenon. Enjoy.]



Auto-tune is described on on the late night U.S. television program show Jimmy Kimmel Live during which musical artist T-Pain shamelessly hawked his "I Am T-Pain" iPhone application, the first successful general public monetization of the technology.

[Thanks to David in Berkeley and Josh in Iowa City for introducing us to Auto-Tune the News and I am T-Pain. Show-outs to Noah and to AF's students and colleagues at Clemson.]
