The World Isn’t Ready For La Bussi, Spain’s New Dancing Public Transport Mascot

Spain has unveiled their new bus mascot — a colourful, dancing blob lovingly named ‘La Bussi’, or ‘Bussi’ to its pals.

The Transports Urbans de Sabadell revealed the big Bussi on Thursday as an attempt to raise awareness about the wonders of public transport, albeit with an unfortunate name.

The viral clip shows the mascot strutting off a bus, before breaking into the cha cha and some fancy footwork, in a stellar performance I would genuinely pay to watch live and in real life. Bussi also interacts with a nervous child, and dabs under the sprinkle of a confetti cannon — get yourself an anthropomorphic rabbit thing who can do both!

With pointy antennas and a magnified bus stop map plastered on its belly, President of the TUS Francisco López said Bussi will “serve to raise awareness among children and young people who catch buses”.

The name is a portmanteau of bus and the Spanish word for yes, ‘si’ –which the TUS claims summarises the spirit of the campaign — with Bussi itself making guest appearances during special occasions as well as in Sabadell’s children’s program.

Bussi was designed by Ariadna Lara, a student at art school Escola Illa in Barcelona, and was brought to life by costume designer Lisa Boada.

I do not get paid enough to delineate the full etymology of online lingo ‘bussy’, which came from ‘boy pussy’, and refers to the male anus. But I do make enough to point out the obvious — just how little time it took for La Bussi to go viral outside of Spain, and permanently enter the dirty minds of internet gremlins worldwide, rent-free.

Viva La Bussi! Watch out Gritty, a new king has come for your crown.

Bus company unveils its new mascot ‘Bussi’ and everyone is making the same joke

A Spanish bus company has unveiled its newest mascot, and its name is… wait for it… ‘Bussi’.

The – slightly horrifying – mascot reveal by TUS (Transport Urban Sabadell) has gone viral on Twitter, with user @huwlemmey reposting a TikTok from the company’s page.

Bussi, whose design mimics a transport map, marches down a red carpet, poses, performs a dance routine and meets children.

The bus service runs in the Spanish town of Sabadell, which is in the north-eastern part of Spain in Catalonia.

The internet, however, has taken Bussi’s name and run with it.

The original TikTok video poster continued his thread, asking the question on all of our minds: “[Why] the hell do you not employ a single gay person in your whole damn company?”

An excellent question, and one that other users chose to reply to.

One wrote: “To be fair, if I worked at that company, I’d be like ‘yup! That’s PERFECT’ and then laugh and laugh and laugh.”

Another said: “To be fair, if I was the one gay person working in that company I would also be like, ‘Yeah, Bussi sounds like a *great* name for our mascot!'”

This particularly tongue-in-cheek reaction is a highlight.

Other reactions have been extremely varied.

“We love Bussi,” one user wrote.

“His name is what?” asked another.

A third commented: “Disgusting, diabolical beast.” This seems a little harsh to us.

Twitter users have also commented on the presentation of the mascot.

Users have pointed out the slang ‘bussy’ does not necessarily translate in – cough – quite the same way that ‘bussy’ may be read in English.

“Imagine having to explain in a meeting that this went viral because of what ‘bussy‘ means in English.”

For those that don’t know what ‘bussy’ means, please revisit this milestone of pop culture, which is Taron Egerton discovering the meaning of the word for himself. Enjoy.

Newsweek has published several articles on the topic of mascots including the 15 colleges with the most unique mascots, a viral TikTok that prompted a school to suspend the use of a Native American Mascot and how a school board member was punched in the face during a meeting to weigh changing a high school's mascot.

One common pagan holiday decoration is the use of evergreen plants, such as pine, holly, and mistletoe. These plants are often associated with vitality and staying green throughout the winter season. They are used to bring a sense of life and renewal into the home during the colder months.

Another popular pagan holiday decoration is the use of candles. Candles hold significant symbolism in pagan rituals and are often lit to represent light and warmth during the darkest days of the year. They are also used as offerings to deities and spirits believed to be in attendance during the celebrations. Symbols such as pentagrams, spirals, and other sacred geometries are often incorporated into pagan holiday decorations. These symbols are believed to hold spiritual significance and serve as a visual representation of the pagan beliefs and practices. Many pagan holiday decorations also include the use of seasonal fruits, herbs, and flowers. These natural elements are often used in wreaths, garlands, and centerpieces to honor the abundance of the earth and the cycle of life. In addition to these specific adornments, pagan holiday decorations often emphasize a connection to the natural world. This can be seen in the incorporation of natural materials like wood, stone, and feathers. These materials remind practitioners of the interconnectedness between humans and nature, as well as the importance of honoring and respecting the earth. Overall, pagan holiday decorations serve to create a sacred and festive atmosphere during celebrations and rituals. They are infused with meaning and symbolism that reflect the spirituality and reverence for nature central to pagan beliefs and practices..
