This technology stuff isn’t all serious. The web has long been a forum for humor of the most democratic sort. The barriers to entry are low, and pretty much anybody can put up a website and start talking or joking with the world. My favorite category of net humor is the remix: take something made by somebody else and recontextualize it. Lawrence Lessig has written about this, if you’re interested in learning more about the Internet’s effect on the democratization of culture.
On with the funny! I’m going to take some time on Fridays to share the best of those things that I’ve found on the nets that have made me laugh. This week, we have a remix of those Slap-Chop advertisements you may have seen on cable TV complete with auto-tuning a la T-Pain or Kanye West.
If you haven’t seen the original, you can watch it here.
