VIDEO: The news as illustrated by Angry Birds & audio from an old Disney cartoon
Matt Hawkins If only CNN and Fox News could deliver the news as effectively.
Bonus points for having the Angry Birds also act the role of Twitter birds as well. Though the very last bit has yet to happen. Time will only tell if it ever will. Anyhow, the idea of video game characters delivering the news is hardly original. Naturally, the Japanese have been doing it for a while.
On the PS3 there’s an app featuring Katsuragi Misato, a character from the anime Evangelion, who reads headlines covering politics, the economy, sports, and entertainment. It’s basically a news reader that address the viewer via some fancy voice synthesis system and in the form of some polygonal anime hottie (whom you can also play dress-up with). Needless to say, Katie Couric can’t possibly compete.
