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.]

FYA - Hitler Finds Out ...


As a bit of a weekend diversion, for those of you who have yet to experience the recent phenomenon of "Hitler finds out ..." YouTube videos, below is a link to "Hitler Finds Out Sarah Palin Resigns." Like a score or more related videos ["Hitler finds out Ronaldo is off to Real Madrid,""Hitler finds out Michael Jackson has died," "Hitler gets scammed on eBay," "Hitler loves his waffles," "Hitler gets banned from Xbox Live," and the self-reflexive "Hitler Finds Out He's A Joke On YouTube," the video uses the same 3:49 sequence from the 2004 film "Downfall." The brilliant Bruno Ganz stars as Hitler in the film – and the sequence. The film tracks Hitler in his final days in a Berlin bunker at the end of WWII.

Watch

Enjoy.
