The Cars on Coconut Mall Move Again!
And the memes are racing in too!
Published 2 years ago in Ftw
Mario Kart Wii is without a doubt one of the greatest games of all time. I'm sure any one of you who either owned a Wii, or made the regular trek over to a buddy's house who did, can remember the white knuckled terror, frustration, and fleeting moments of utter euphoria that accompanied the treasured memories being made. One of the most well liked tracks from that game, Coconut Mall, had made its return to Mario Kart 8, but not without controversy.
One of the track's defining features came on the final stretch, where the Shy Guys drove their cars across the track, creating a perilous obstacle that could change the course of the race with just seconds to go. But they didn't move in Mario Kart 8. Until Now!

More than just driving back and forth, the Shy Guys now bob up and down like low riders, and pull drifts and donuts. Sparking joy and memes, the fans are happy, and you know the Shy Guys are happy too. Coconut Mall is back!

An article published by TheTab last week detailed ten celebrities and their carbon emissions. The information sparked a lot of controversy on the internet, and people started speaking out against private jet use. Many obvious celebs made the list: Jay-Z, Kim Kardashian, and at the top, Taylor Swift. With over 8,000 tons of CO2 emissions, Taylor Swift's plane has taken off for 170 flights this year alone at an average of 80 minutes per flight.
A spokesperson for Swift recently made a statement about her private jet saying, "Taylor’s jet is loaned out regularly to other individuals. To attribute most or all of these trips to her is blatantly incorrect."
Maybe she didn't take all those trips, but they seem to be missing the point that nobody should be flying in a private jet.
Some Swifties are on here defending Taylor Swift's private jet use, to which I say--

she's a millionaire and even if it isn't *her* that's taking all those flights, it's still a heinous amount of flights in a short time span. We're literally all going to die of climate change-
Private airplanes, on average, are the cause of over one million tons of CO2 emissions each year, 14 times more polluting than commercial jets.
Just weeks before the information about her wasteful ways, a photo of Swift was snapped of her trying to exit her jet incognito by covering herself with an umbrella. So, she is using the plane when she needs it.
This isn't the first time Swift has come under fire for her carbon footprint. In 2020 the pop star owned not just one but two private jets. After selling the smaller of the two, many people criticized her for even owning one.
Listen I also like Taylor Swift’s music but no one should have a private jet. You can have a propeller plane or you can get on a commercial jet. Because frankly no one should have private jet money

Fueling and maintaining private jets is expensive. Many private plane owners will charter their planes out to others to pay for the high cost, and if they are a celebrity, they charge more. There are also hangar fees and storage, so many of the quick 13-minute flights could just be the plane being parked in the hangar.
Nobody should own private jets. Celebrities should take commercial flights like everyone else.
