News at Seven Whenever You Want It

The days when you could only catch the news at 7 or 11pm on the local station are long gone. But these days there is something even weirder out there then Naked News.

It's called News at Seven and although the news anchor is a woman, she's not as curvy as a real one might be. She is in fact, a computer generated and computer voiced, automated character.

Each episode consists of one topic with background illustrations much like those you might see on a real program, photographs of relevant parties and of the topic at hand. For March 26, the news was about a new Tolkien book due out later this year.

Unfortunately for them, being automagically generated means that the photos on the background are not checked for actual relevance or hilarity. You might notice it when you see Jack Black's photo in the background for this skit.

Anyways, it's a great idea, they just have to work on that algorithm a bit more. I'm looking forward to what they can do with this in the future.
