Taiwan Tabloid Sensation Next Media Recreate News 40
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.

Good thing there are quality articles on the sciences to read here. Oh wait, it's just a stupid youtube promotion
Hello and welcome to slashdot.org! Here you'll find a wide variety of articles on a range of topics. Typically they will be demarcated by a category name followed by a colon (:). For example this particular article is labeled with "Entertainment:" mark. You'll also note there exists an icon to the right of the summary which generally follows the topic. In this case we have a foot.
Now, assuming you don't like this story you could:
A) Post a flame attracting dispute about his this does or does not apply to 'nerds', 'news', and/or 'science'
OR
B) Stop electing to view stories labeled with "Entertainment:" or a foot icon.
Have a nice day, and enjoy your '-1' mods!

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.

Is it just me, or should there be an "s" at the end of "Recreate?"
"Taiwan Tabloid Sensation Next Media Recreates News" seems to make a lot more sense.

News is plural, so no.

"News" has nothing to do with it. In English, verb plurality is determined by the subject, not the object.
The issue is whether or not "Next Media" is plural or not.

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.

That's the great thing about Latin - you can put object before subject for emphasis and establish meaning from case.

Check out ArsTechnica for the news stories you'll see here in the next few hours/days.
Don't worry! Ars has been heading the way of the content aggregator for a while now, and has recently started featuring articles from affiliates. It's only a matter of time before Ars turns to shit too. Would you like some more iPhone stories? No? How about some iPad then for a change? There you go.
Soon we'll get meta-articles on slashdot where they repost an article about ars posting an article originally written by Wired about the latest thing in mobile devices. And we all know how shitty Wired is.

Indeed, the article could have tried to be a little more informative.

I don't know if this Palin animation is from the same company, but it's funny as hell. Sarah's palm notes are shown with "Norwegians = Dutch, sorta", and with "Drill Baby Drill" crossed off after the BP fiasco. And a Trigger-happy Trigg. (Anybody translate Chinese here?) Enjoy:
