HW Creativity

New media inspired and open up room for creativity. Because of new media, people are now able to create parodies of almost everything. According to the article, "Disney Tolerates a Rap Parody of Its Critters. But Why?" parodies are: "The postings (called mash-ups), are made by editing together snippets of animated movies and TV shows. The finished products look like music videos in which the cartoon characters do the singing" (Barnes 2007). One example mentioned in the article is how people turned Bambi, Simba and Winnie the Pooh into rap stars. Because of new media people are now able to do whatever they wish to do and are opened to so many different options. People can make light of a sad show, or even portray the show in a way that they wish to. When more videos are being released online, many people who watch those videos are often inspired and thus promotes creativity.
