Recently, NSW authorities released an advertisement campaign targeting marijuana users. The campaign features ‘Stoner Sloth’, a series of dopey mascots who struggles in their day to day lives due to their debilitating bud addiction. Unsurprisingly, the campaign backfired in a massive way. Stoner Sloth fast became one of the biggest internet sensations of the backend of 2015, with a slew of memes, parodies and merchandise being made in his honour. It’s so big in fact, that even Cedric Bixler-Zavala has become vocal in his support of the sloth.
In a barrage of tweets (quite literally too many tweets to even post here), the former Mars Volta and At The Drive In frontman dropped a flood of pro Stoner Sloth sentiments onto our respective Twitter feeds.
It all started with this fairly innocuous tweet:

And then quickly progressed to this:

https://twitter.com/cedricbixler_/status/679501854594617344
And then progressed even further, to this:

https://twitter.com/cedricbixler_/status/679504597354807296
Which then turned into a discussion about Stoner Sloth’s possible EDM prowess:

Right.
Funnily enough, despite his 30+ tweets on the topic of #StonerSloth, Zavala is anti-weed, having confessed earlier this year to changing his views after kicking his $1000 per week habit.
