Apple recently released a radio program similar to that of Pandora, another online radio service. While Pandora uses mathematical algorithms to choose music for the listener, iTunes Radio will use humans/Apple geniuses to choose music similar to tracks the listener likes. Katy Perry is featured as the guest DJ currently, where she shares an insight to her musical taste and artists that inspire her. She inserts her commentary and shares an anecdote occasionally. I found this interesting because a good portion of the music she chooses to play are rap songs or songs with a darker undertone, not what most people would expect perhaps?

British Radio One DJ creates a parody of Miley Cyrus' Wrecking Ball. An interesting way of subverting the message of Cyrus' and its use of nudity.

Personally, I think Miley Cyrus' video is very powerful, and this parody reinforces my feelings about that. It's definitely interesting to see a guy in her position, I won't deny it. I understand where everyone is coming from with the complaints about her nudity, but in my opinion, there's a much deeper meaning behind it.
