Logbook: WTF!?
Supposedly Offensive Coffee…?
Apparently Starbucks coffee has a “new” fat free / sugar free coffee drink. its called “skinny”.. People are calling this “offensive” and “politically incorrect”, wow… just wow… what the hell, we all know starbucks has there made up language with goofy ass coffee names. To me, Offensive coffee is bad coffee.
Anyways from this article at MSN money people are making a shitstorm outta there new coffee type.
it starts out as
| “Shortly after Starbucks (SBUX, news, msgs) launched its new woman-centric “skinny latte” advertising campaign in January, the blogosphere erupted in criticism –- and some praise.” |
personally I cant see how this new coffee or a single word can cause all this. But we live in the fucked up world where christmas lights can be labeled as politically incorrect.
I am not so much a starbucks person, I dont like them, theres just too many intricacies in ordering a regular coffee there. Pseudo language skills should not have a place in ordering a coffee.
I walked into a starbucks once and ordered a coffee – It went like this.
Worker(no I will not call the workers a “barista” (translation: barman barmaid -if Starbucks starts offering beer i will call them that”)):Hi How may I help you today
Me: I would like a large coffee, Milk with extra sugar
W: So you would like a Venti with Milk and sugar ( that half assed helpful tone of voice to correct me as if i had said something wrong)
Me: Large coffee , milk with extra sugar
W: *he goes to correct again*
Me: fuck it im going to dunkin donuts
Anyways enough about the language barrier of starbucks.
I hardly see the offense in calling it a “skinny latte” or whatever. The usage of the word has been around far before starbucks has made use of this term. This who thing about people getting there undies in a knot over this is fucking funny in one way. its the ultra politically correct trying to make something from nothing. if you actually take the time to look skinny has been in use WAAAAAAAAY before they made this that page is from 1999 (Jan 9, 1999 from wayback machine)
I could see it being offending if they called it the “Your a fat hose beast coffee” personally I like that name better.
or the “hey fatty whatcha drinking latte”
I mean really , Are they going to next say extra large shirts are offensive……. now that i think about it , have you ever seen a fat person in a starbucks, I’ve not seen that?
So whats the next step the NBA being offended at starbucks because there “tall” coffee is actually a small?
Man people are so superficial and vain.
As for me I’ll be having my coffee from honey dew donuts.
Dunkin Donuts spreading coffee around the world… scary thought.
Apparently dunkin donuts is going to china, they plan on opening 100 shops in Shanghai. I used to like Dunkin a very long time ago, until they business formula change and they pretty much just hired robot tending zombies and could not get a coffee right to save there lives. Many nights of getting coffees from Dunkin Donuts that just have gone wrong with coffee that you could either run in terror from or made so wrong that carrot top looks normal. they have gone the way of mcdonalds, Serving warmed shit(although mcdonalds gets an exception- you need to goto Sweden to actually get a burger that is edible compared to its US counterpart). Mostly my friends and I goto honey dew donuts, there you get people who know what you want before asking rather than the blank look you’d get going into a DD. So who knows.. MAYBE just maybe good coffee is out of the country but the judge is out on this one.
buwahahaha .. Dunkin Donuts recall.
Last year Honey dew had a promotion with glow sticks. dunkin donuts decided to copy honey dew and fucked up in the process.

ahhh social security, How do i know thee. since the 2nd term of George W., He’s had his eye on this issue, but was not able to mess with the system *yet* for the people who stand to make money off it. And right off in starting with this article they are already messing with average joe. “the Shortfall in the coming years.” ? coming years? well fuck whens that? did someone contact the physic network on this one? Maybe next leap year on a full moon with bill clinton playing the sax to the great pumpkin. Magic 8-ball, *Reply hazy, ask again later* (which means yes to certain people.) anyways…
From the department of oh noes
Just an article from Dslreports other news sources are reporting this as well but i figures i’d work from this one.

There’s been no solid scientific evidence that Wi-Fi is a health hazard, but that hasn’t stopped a parade of people from trying to stop Wi-Fi deployment, usually based on absolutely no evidence of any kind. In the U.S., teachers have sued schools to derail installs, while angel guidance consultants have launched campaigns against Wi-Fi in their free time.

A morning breakfast treat turned into a painful trip to the dentist for an Avon gas station owner when, he says, he bit into a hard chunk of metal inside a Dunkin’ Donuts chocolate chip muffin.

Jan 2nd ready for valentines day ?
if you walk into some stores you will notice that there are already valentines day stuff up… wow just wow. with retail pushing holidays earlier and earlier i am half expecting we should be ready for Christmas 2007 around June or so. I dont like this whole pushing the holidays thing earlier and earlier.
Give me a farking break we just got off of Christmas and new years. I’d like to have a holiday free thought till at least February.
its not that im not one for holidays but hell at least wait till the same month the freakin holiday is in to do something about it
changing your inventory is not going to sell more stuff its more likely piss off a bunch of people, with people asking already “What are you getting me for valentines day? what are you getting me for valentines day.
if you ask me about valentines day right now this is my responce
