Media Creativity

According to "The New Math of Mashups from The New Yorker Magazine 2005". Disney characters are turned into rap stars and made into music videos with the song ''Crank That'' by Soulja Boy.  The act is known as mash up.  Through out these years, people have been making and uploading parody videos online regarding any pop songs or traditional cartoon characters like Winnie the pooh and Micky mouse.  I believe this contemporary phenomenon is very interesting because it pretty much provides an brand new image and way to let the public to know the characters again.  I believe it does not brash off those Disney characters' traditional images on everyone's mind, but it shows creativity as in making something original and simple into something anyone has never experienced before.  I personally would like to see more of these videos online because it is a brand new concept and brings joy to peoples' lives.
