The Fifteen Starbucks On Your Block Expect A Profit (Profit: A Fancy Word for "Money")

This N Y Times article is so funny! I can't believe that, uh, Jeff Leeds took the time to write actual words on this subject. Is he trying to become a comedy writer?

So "people" are pissed that Starbucks abandoned their original vision to sell/promote underground music in their stores (sorry, I can't stop laughing at seeing "Starbucks" and "underground music" in the same sentence). Hey! It turns out STARBUCKS was just interested in MAKING MONEY, so now they sell the mainstream GARBAGE like A. Keys and J. Blunt! ZIP YOUR LID, Jeff! I don't believe you!

The No BullShit Zone: If you're corporate monopolistic swine, just BE corporate monopolistic swine, don't act like you have some kind of indie-art cred. Of course, all of the cattle suckling at your latte-teet don't know the real difference anyhoo! SO JUST CONTINUE FILLING THEIR BOWELS WITH CANCER-CAUSING SUGAR AND DAIRY UNTIL THE END. PERHAPS THE COUNTER-CULTURE I KNOW EXISTS WILL SURVIVE THE APOCALYPSE JUST LIKE COCKROACHES AND WE CAN QUICKLY REPOPULATE THE PLANET WITH PEOPLE WHO THINK FOR THEMSELVES AND WHO FIND THE CONCEPT OF "STATUS" AS GROSS AS A FRAPPACINO.
Sorry, my laughter turned angry super quick! My bad.
