This youtube was posted at the Guardian UK in response to the "I'm a Climate Scientist" rap which is making the rounds. I would call it, "I'm a Fake Farmer" and also can't help but note the irony of the prominent dependence on diesel-fueled mechanized equipment, mainly the tractor, to produce the organic milk advertised...not to mention the plastic containers. Another example of consumerism co-opting activism. One comment I loved:
"Rap: a musical form so hamstrung by cliches and repetitive mannerist posturings, it makes twelve-bar blues look radical. Somebody please kill it and put us all out of our misery."
Having said that, I am mulling over lyrics for a tree rap, I think their time has come to speak out. And I liked the owl!
Update:
Perhaps Climate Progress will never post my objections retroactively, but for some obscure reason, a new and dare I say improved version of "I'm a Climate Scientist" (Clean) has appeared on Youtube - removing not only the superfluous potty language but the sexist "bitch" and the racist "Lebanese" pejoratives. Is it less or more effective? I would contend it is at least as effective, and less offensive. So a huge plus plus!!
