There is a lot going on in the world these days. From economic depression, to terrorist attacks, war, Sarah Palin and more, our news channels are plagued with so many examples of human horror and insanity that we often avoid those dreaded stations – opting, instead, for some memories of childhood on YTV, learning about the latest Jon & Kate scandal via TLC or watching some crazy divers get attacked by sharks on Discovery. Many of us miss even the bare bones of world news.
As bad as this may be, there is now a fun, relevant way for us to view the world and some key issues from the comfort of YouTube!*
Auto-tune The News is a show that does just that. Auto-tune is a program that turns speech into Kayne-reminescent tunes and that, when combined with cleverly spliced news feeds from Fox, CNN, CBC and NBC, is both entertaining and informative!
