I had not seen this video until now, but I think it is wonderful that it played an interesting role in that country's politics.</p> <p>It looks like the 1984 ad is becoming the equivalent of sample from a James Brown record that seems to make an appearance in every hip-hop album.</p> <p>Since mash-ups are inherently a derivative genre, it doesn't really matter who did something first or better.</p> <p>In this case, I think the mash-up artist did some amazing work and made a very powerful statement for change.</p> Wed, 11 Apr 2007 19:55:09 -0400 Philip de Vellis comment 369 at http://techpresident.personaldemocracy.com
