Political Satire on the Tube

in Current Affairs | February 1st, 2008 Leave a Comment

On the lighter side ….

Yesterday, I got a chance to attend Larry Lessig’s last lecture ever on “Free Culture.” (More on Lessig here.) It was a presentation worthy of Steve Jobs, and I’ll have more to say about it later.

For now, I’ll leave you with an example of creative “remixing” cited during his talk. It’s political satire. Not the kind that your father grew up with. But the kind that’s grown out of the new digital landscape.
