[Rumori] Everything Sounds Better Auto-tuned

[Steev Hise]

This might be old news to some of you (looks like it's been going on  
for about 6 months now) but for everyone else, you have to *right now*  
go watch 1 or preferably all episodes of "Auto-tune The News"!  Oh.  
My. God.  So hilarious. So brilliant.

The core concept is in the use of the now-famous and cliched "auto- 
tune" software on appropriated footage of unsuspecting public  
speakers, mostly newscasters and politicians and pundits.  But the  
creators, The Gregory Brothers, are not just relying on 1 piece of  
technology (or even 2, when you add the chroma key, which they depend  
on heavily as well) - no, they're also expertly including, and  
parodying, all sorts of other tropes of hip-hop pop music: costumes,  
slang, even compositing clapping hands onto the video images of  
reporters and anchorpeople. And they manage to ingeniously poke fun at  
the political issues of the day and the ridiculous babblings of  
corporate media at the same time!
