I wrote some code to apply cut-up techniques and ran a bunch of buzzfeed articles through it. The results are pretty messy, but I enjoyed it, and I can imagine pushing forward on this code/idea some more. The repo is here and here's some sample output:

In terms of quality, it's not good, and I would personally call it a failure of a project, which isn't surprising since I had a lot of false starts and didn't write any code until the 30th. But I do like the idea.
