While the Web is buzzing about Miss California Carrie Prejean, gay marriage, the legalization of drugs, and global warming, Michael Gregory is making music. His ‘Auto-Tune the News’ segments are absolutely hilarious, and I’ve included his latest above.
We’ve seen Michael Gregory’s work before—he’s one of the minds behind the Obama Girl’s duet with Barack Obama. I’m amazed at how lyrical newscasters, Carrie Prejean and Hillary Clinton all sound when their voices are fed into Auto-Tune.
