Big Starbucks

I’ve already documented my distaste for local coffee shops and my preference for corporate coffee. (Oh, yes I did, #occupyWhateverLameAssedCityYou’re In)  Yes, there’s a Starbucks on every corner, and if there isn’t a Starbucks, there’s a soon-to-be-Starbucks- acquisition Seattle’s Best.

And children are the necaffeine-addicted freaks  who call Starbucks home. (P.S. Get out of my house and take your Horizon organic milk with you.)

Starbucks has insisted for years that it does not market its delicious beverages to children, despite the subliminal messages on Venti cups tailored for 15-year-old boys that “coffee gets you laid” and “Frappuccinos are a turn-on.” The 15-year-old girls get cups that say “girls who don’t drink coffee die alone” and “decaf is for brunettes.”

Personally I see nothing wrong with children drinking coffee. I think it should start in the womb. Pregnant women giving up coffee and wine and blogging makes no sense to me.
