America's Funniest Remix.

While laughing today I had an epiphany. I realized that AFV aka  America's funniest home videos is a remix. AFV uses editing techniques like cut and paste, and also samples videos, piecing them together for the audience. Most of the times these remixs are titled things like "cats" or "falls" or whatever content seem to be similar through-out all.
   Does this really constitute a remix though? Or is this just the nature of digital media?

 However, it is argued that remix is supposed to do something fundamentally new - does AFV fit into this definition? Possibly. Home media such as the camcorder is generally not broadcast to a mass audience. It transforms the use of the media, which is typically personal or private and makes it public. The goal here is to take the personal moments and see them as funny.
      This means the people watching may not understand particular referents as those who crafted the original video. Those who made the video may understand the geography, history or the general aura of the videos. The massive reproduction across millions of screens takes that original and changes it because it changes the meaning of the video to merely entertainment. The people within the videos are depersonalized.
     The fragmentation of the original juxtaposed with a bunch of other samples is why I would constitute the nature of this show to be remix. However, it is open to interpretation.
