Lost Generation

This short video won a prize in a contest sponsored by AARP that encouraged young people to imagine themselves at age 50. It is not, strictly speaking, an original work. "Lost Generation" is based on a prize-winning 2006 Argentinian Political Advertisement, "The Truth". "Lost Generation" is therefore a product of our remix culture, where young people (and older bloggers like me) are taking the expression and ideas created by others and remixing them. This begs the question, should a remix of someone else's original work qualify as prize-winning creativity?
