Dust Bunny Queen म्हणाले...: That is SO cool. I love these animi news videos.

Entertaining and informative. Plus it is very interesting to get the view of 'our' news from another culture.

Love the bird crapping on the newspaper.; १०/९/१०, १२:४१ PM
Freeman Hunt म्हणाले...: That NYT WSJ video is awesome.; १०/९/१०, १२:५४ PM
ALP म्हणाले...: LOVE this! Their John Edwards video was my favorite, but this one beats it hands down.; १०/९/१०, १२:५७ PM
Freeman Hunt म्हणाले...: I didn't know there was an entire YouTube channel of this stuff. Much humor there.; १०/९/१०, १:०० PM
Kensington म्हणाले...: The bird crapping on the paper at the end was the perfect touch. These guys are geniuses!; १०/९/१०, १:०५ PM
GMay म्हणाले...: "[The NYT's] reputation for journalistic excellence"

These Taiwanese guys are good, but apparently they didn't get everything right in this video.

I give it a solid B+ effort.; १०/९/१०, १:१३ PM

It's not as foreign a view as you might think. Next Media Animation's Content Manager is American.

They started out animating clips for the Taiwanese market, and the the US television network Adult Swim started picking up their animations and marketing them as news briefs. Now they're making intentionally absurd ones for the US market.; १०/९/१०, १:३४ PM

Ah so. Good to know and still very funny.; १०/९/१०, २:१८ PM
The Scythian म्हणाले...: DBQ,

The funny part is that they tried offering English language videos for the American market, but nobody wanted them. Americans still preferred the Mandarin ones!; १०/९/१०, २:२१ PM
ddh म्हणाले...: The street fight was more Ron Burgundy than West Side Story.; १०/९/१०, २:३९ PM
ricpic म्हणाले...: Bien pensants worldwide agree: Rupert Murdoch is a shark. His product runs rings around the bien pensant opposition, but he's a shark and that's that.; १०/९/१०, ३:०३ PM
XWL म्हणाले...: Don't miss their, 'what Obama really wanted to say in Cleveland' bit uploaded today.

Taiwanese tabloid media seem to understand our President better than our own press...

Also, this WIRED article is a decent backgrounder on the genesis, and purpose behind, all these videos from Next Media Animation.; १०/९/१०, ३:१६ PM
XWL म्हणाले...: (oops, hadn't clicked on Freeman's link in the 2nd comment, didn't mean to duplicate, she was being way too subtle...); १०/९/१०, ३:१६ PM
Corky Boyd म्हणाले...: Did you notice one of the characters in the NY Times' dancing troupe was wearing a Mexican hat.

Could that be Carlos Slim?

These Japanese anime folks don't miss anything.; ११/९/१०, १२:१२ AM
