Greenpeace’s “Everything is Not Awesome” will ruin your day

And, as it turns out, if you slow it down, lower it by an octave or two and have a Sarah McLachlan wannabe sing, it has the exact opposite effect. Greenpeace has done just this with its new video, which intends to break up the partnership between oil-based toy manufacturer Lego and oil-providing oil company Shell. If a slowed down cover of “Everything Is Awesome” sounds depressing, just wait until a bunch of Lego people and animals are drowning in oil at the same time. It’s a lot of fun.
