This has to do with last week’s lecture and the “The cut up method”. I am appalled that people can use remix to depict and belittle people of greatness and make them look like they are nothing but worthless. With regards to the “The price is creepy” video seen in lecture where Bob Barker was portrayed as a disturbing man, this depiction of greatness can be witnessed in dominant sports athletes. It just surprises me that people are so self-centered to create remix videos to question the careers of professional athletes and other people of higher stature. Peyton Manning arguably one of the greatest Quarterbacks to play in the NFL is portrayed as one of the worst quarterbacks to ever throw a football.
In this video:

They only show highlights of Payton Manning’s mistakes and miseries. Adding insult to injury they have a sinister voice mocking Payton in a way where this person is speaking for Manning in a scrutinizing way. People who have seen this video but have never seen Payton play or know of him will think Payton’s career was a joke. When I first saw this video I was boggled that someone would actually go through all of Manning’s highlights and find mistakes, which he rarely makes, and create a collaboration of all them to make it seem like that this video summarizes Payton’s football stature. There are many of these remix videos belittling the careers of great people out there, and I wonder why people would ever do so. Then I realize it can only be because of jealousy and envy because these remix artists haven’t won a Super Bowl themselves. Using remix as a weapon to destroy someone’s integrity and hard work is immoral and unjust.
