Preach's Monday Rant: Stay away from my coffee
Sv_rant 1
Ok, this is it. I have few places of retreat these days that are not intruded upon by outside forces. Namely, politics, religion, and the entertainment world. One of these is when I am enthroned in the bathroom and the other, and perhaps more important, is when I am enjoying a cup of premium Star Bucks coffee. This I can not do on a regular basis anymore as it sets off my newly acquired acid reflux, so I have to enjoy this on an ever increasingly rare schedule, so to fuck with this time is not good. And fuck with it they are.
So it seems some marketing person deemed it a good idea to begin putting witticisms on the sides of coffee cups. Big ups to you, whomever you are, and I am sure your boss was like, “damn Brad, that is a good idea son!”, but take it from me it was an amazingly stupid and trivial idea you *****sucker (sorry I watch Deadwood so those just slip our every now and again).
So, now guess what! The conservatives have put their collective Borg brains together and are protesting that these saying are now TOO liberal. Forget the massacres in Africa, the war in Iraq, impending doom of North Korea and the rapid Globalization and changing environment of the world economy, we have important issues to settle and bicker about, that must be addressed immediately, namely that ‘the other side’ is getting too much copy space on the side of a GOD DAMN COFFE CUP!
And you thought that the people re-arranging deck chairs on the Titanic and those fools searching for the Bible Code were wasting time?
Family values? Something on the side of a paper coffee cup either contributes to or destroys family values in America? How about the vast contribution that STUPIDITY makes?

“Considering Starbucks sells millions of cups of coffee each day - some specialty drinks at $4 and up - it's no surprise some customers have complained to Starbucks' Web site, labeling the campaign "offensive" and the company a proponent of "the destruction of family values and virtues."
