NTV Station Today: Yes We Can, Sans Obama

What happens when an independently produced political ad is stripped of its original intent? Well, it becomes a way of commentating on any public figure — from George Carlin to Cobra Commander. Today at the Station, we look at will.i.am’s Yes We Can — in both Obama and Obama-free forms.

Also in the online video world, CollegeHumor imagines a world where things went differently, where New Coke flows like water and people still watch laser discs. It’s a terrifying glimpse into an alternate dimension. Also, Heroes producer Jesse Alexander teams up with writer Matt Mason to create a documentary teaser about the ways in which piracy advances culture, commerce — even countries. It’s still fascinating stuff, and there’s always more where that came from on the Station.
