Teesside Tintin
Not Safe For Work
If you don’t like swearing or you are not aware of the Teesside region of the UK, then this clip probably won’t make any sense to you.
But I love Teesside Tintin. Partly its the juvenile humour and partly it is the juxtaposition of the clean cut Tintin with anti-social working class Englishness. Mostly I love this because it is because it is remix culture at it is best. Taking an existing body of work and doing something new with it.
Of course this breaks copyright law, at least in some countries, but there is no reason for it be treated as illegal. No one is going to confuse this with the real Tintin cartoon and no one is making any money out of Teesside Tintin.
It is about people finding ways to be creative and exploring new ideas. Just as Herge learnt to draw copying others works, in fifty years time some great artist will be talking about they learnt to express themselves remixing things on You Tube.

My, my… That’s… Just hilarious.
March 18th, 2009 at 1:53 pmI don’t see why people rave about it. Some bad language doesn’t bother me too much but there’s a lot here and it’s very strong language. I really believe it’s very immature and not funny at all.
