As much as many of you may be absolutely addicted to that cup-o-joe in the mornings, on April 15, I would strongly advise you not to take your kids in or near a Starbucks. Otherwise you might be stuck explaining a few things that you probably believe they are not yet ready to be confronted with.

Because I refuse to give the group doing this exercise any traffic I'll simply show you what's on the page:

“So now I have two reasons to never go to into Starbucks.”

Only two?????

How about price, crappy coffee, no refills etc!

[freedumb2003]

She’s cute.

Wanna take bets on her “significant other?”

And I might be wrong, but we are talking trends not outliers.

[SoldierDad]

Oh, I understood the point you were making. Justing adding 2 cents worth.

[SoldierDad]

And how do you know the extent of STBX’s involvment in this event? Given their track record for supporting LGBT issues and promoting the gay lifestyle, I will surmise they are involved.

[freedumb2003]

Lets admit it, these kinds of threads are pretty fun :)

[SoldierDad]

Regardless of their involvement, BTW, I will never again enter a STBX or buy their products. Promotion of filth is a big turn off.

[SoldierDad]

They can be.

[SpaceBar]

Note: Dunkin’ Donuts has better coffee, it’s less expensive, and DD doesn’t promote a homosexual agenda.

beginning of time offering domestic partnership insurance, quoting gay artists on their coffee cups and funding our pride parades

Except for the cup quotes it could describe a hundred different companies and the beginning of time is really a stretch.

Even the cup quotes are no biggie Mikael Medved's wife is quoted, as well as all sorts of other people.

I think what you have is a sorry group of people who are desperate to think a company actually promots them in the fantasy world they live in. I think what STBX does is what dozens of other companies do cover their own behinds because they cower infront of the thought of poor public image and the courts.

[SIDENET]

Oh, she's straight to my knowledge.

I just wanted to post a pic of her because she's much cuter than the carpet munchers.

I should tell Joe Starbucks is giving out free coffee that day.It would be quite interesting to see his reaction to getting a kiss. WEFG!

[freedumb2003]

Oh

That explains a lot.

I can’t keep track these days :)

[Petronski]

If I had wandered in on this, it likely would have turned into Same Sex Punching in the Throat Day at Starbucks.

[Loud Mime]

We do not have a justice system; we have a system of legalities.

[Hildy]

I don’t believe Starbucks is sponsoring this. Nice payback to Starbucks for being so good to the gay community...the’ll lose alot more than they gain from this one.

[GQuagmire]

wow that looks a lot like Teddy Bruschi that plays LB for the Patriots

That's because it is Bruschi.Actually I had to look twice.Photo is from when he was leaving Mass.General after his stroke...

[Lexinom]

Why would anyone pay $4 for a cup of coffee. I live near Seattle, watched my best friends' parents 18 years ago start a small chain of successful coffee stands and later sell them, and have never understood this fad.

Couple that with the fact that Starbucks Coffee = Seattle values.

I drink my coffee (Yuban) brewed fresh every morning by a Bunn.

[SoldierDad]

Whether actively promoting or doing a CYA, I won’t patronize them. Any company that does not demonstrate values does not deserve my business.

[pandoraou812]

Did you read this yet?

Since I refuse to pay such prices for coffee, I never go there. I bought twenty bags of Starbucks coffee at the PX last year for $3.50 a bag (regularly $10 in grocery stores and at Starbucks), and honestly - I’ll take the 8 O’Clock coffee any day over Starbucks.
