What the heck?

I was just sent the following photo. What the heck is that about?

Mysteries revealed after the jump ...

Snoop Dogg is one of many performers on the upcoming "Johnny Cash Remixed" project. The album is out Oct. 14, and it mixes Cash's outlaw country with hip-hop and dance sounds. Inspired brain blossom or insipid cash-in? Hear snippets here.

It's tough to say from the approximately 2 minutes of sound available on the site, but I think it doesn't quite work. Cash's voice is so much of a specific time, as are the beats and embellishments that are mixed in here, and though what these guys are doing has taken some skill, the songs just don't gel.
