Mason Ramsey Sings About Cow Farts in Eco-Campaign

You might remember two years a boy went viral for yodeling Hank Williams’ “Lovesick Blues” in an Illinois Walmart. Now that same boy, Mason Ramsey, is using his vocal skills to target a problem threatening to overheat the planet: cow-based greenhouse-gas emissions. The song is an advertisement from Burger King who has faced criticism from advocacy organizations for its track record on environmental issues. Burger King teamed up with Ramsey for its campaign to promote their new Whopper menu item made from lemongrass-fed cows. Burger King claims the new item results in a 33% reduction in methane emissions.

“When cows fart and burp and splatter/well it ain’t no laughing matter,” Ramsey sings, emerging from the rear-end of a cow, in an inexplicably clean and sparkling white suit. Things get even weirder — and apocalyptic — when the 13-year-old dons a rhinestone-studded gas mask to envision a world uninhabitable by human beings. “Reducing meth-aa-aa-aane, meth-aa-aa-aane,” Ramsey twangs in the “chorus.” Ramsey released the EP Twang in 2019, and also joined Lil Nas X and Billy Ray Cyrus in a remix of their hit “Old Town Road,” which Ramsey performed at the Grammys this past January with Cyrus, Lil Nas X, BTS, and Diplo.

The Immense World of Ostriches

We may think that we know everything there is to know about ostriches, but sometimes we have an epiphany; we're struck by a sharp understanding, somber and clear, and we realize that we actually know nothing about the terrifyingly vast world of ostriches. This also may or may not lead us to think we know nothing of the world at large.

Japan’s Breathtaking Cherry Blossom

Japan's unique cherry blossom trees (otherwise known as sakura) play an incredibly singular role in Japanese culture: They've been the subject of countless songs, they appear on the backside of Japanese coins, and they've been officially named Japan's national flower. They also carry the weight of an entire structure of Buddhist symbolism - the blossoming and eventual withering of the stunning pink flowers symbolize the transient nature of life and the beauty which is formed out of that imperman

What Is Britpop?

In short, Britpop was a movement of British rock bands in the 1990s which sought to build on the musical foundation laid for them by the most universally acclaimed British rock group of all time - the Beatles. Much like most musical movements, it's hard to really pinpoint what the common denominator behind all the music traditionally classified as Britpop really is. There is, however, no denying the explosiveness of British rock bands at that time, some timely factor had spawned their sudden eme
