A Letter to Starbucks Customers

April 5, 2011 2:28 PM

Written in 2001, when I was a disgruntled employee of the SCC. To quote Randal Graves, "This job would be great if it weren't for the customers." Dear Drinker, The Starbucks Coffee Company would like to thank you for being a patron. However, we feel that a few very important issues need to be addressed. First of all, we'd like to apologize on behalf of all your parents, whose recessive gene hand-me-downs you recieved obviously weren't stable enough to carry common sense with them, you mentally challenged genetic freaks. Unless you walk into Burger King asking for Chicken McNuggets, please ... [Read more] »

Watching the lives of others unfold through the Facebook filter is like doing detective work on mushrooms only to find out that you're not actually a cop and then you wonder why the chief of police treats you like a friend.

Squeal Like a Pig, Boy

Dear Beer, Bourbon & BBQ Festival:

Hi.

I just wanted to point out that the "squeal like a pig, boy" joke on both your website and the radio commercial for your Beer and Bourbon event are pop-culture references from the 1972 movie Deliverance. I realize that this particular line is in the national consciousness as a result of the popularity of that film and that not everyone familiar with the phrase has seen the movie, so in case whoever is responsible for brainstorming it into your advertising campaign hasn't, it may appeal to your sensibilities to know that the particular scene referenced centers around the outdoor rape (i.e. sodomizing) of an innocent but particularly chubby kayaker by two backwood hillbillies who hold him at gunpoint and proceed to holler the line in question while practicing their own "cornholing skills" on him.

Good luck with the festival!

In the 21st Century, in an age of infotainment and viral media, in a world where the majority of information is delivered through a digital filter, in a time when both corporations and individuals alike posess not only the means to distribute content but also to create, edit and alter it, critical thinking surpasses all other subjects in terms of both importance and usefulness. It is the single most powerful mental tool for resisting thought, opinion and behavioral control. If critical thinking were a required high school course, future American generations would be invaluably more prepared to face the world ... [Read more] »

I remember when the word "communism" had virtually no emotional weight. "Commie" was used to mock the cries of the outdated and the paranoid. Thank you, right-wing social engineers, for bringing back the scare and for giving power to a word that deserved to have it removed. Congratulations on returning fear and ignorance to society; your efforts to cripple reason and to stifle logic have been a phenomenal success.
