Taiwan Tabloid Sensation Next Media Recreate News

Ant writes "Next Media Animation (NWA) became popular due to its animated and sometimes humorous renderings for world news. Their official videos can be found on YouTube." They start by covering the Tiger Woods animation that made these guys known, and then talk about the process and the people behind it. I've attached an Apple video that you might have bumped into recently as well... it's worth the watch if you haven't seen it yet.

    B) Stop electing to view stories labeled with "Entertainment:" or a foot icon.

    There are a lot of smart people here at /., and there's the rest of us ... surely the smart people should have figured out that voting on stories doesn't always work to the advantage of the this site. Democracy is the best form of government but it's not necessarily the best way to decide which stories get posted here.

    "News" has nothing to do with it.

    That's right, because this story isn't news ...

    I see what you did there!

    Seriously though, slashdot. Is this front-page worthy? What's next? A video of a dog that thinks its people? Do the people running this site even care anymore about the content, or has their inner geek died over the years?

    "It's technology related because it's on the internets!" does not make news for nerds.
