Starbucks Commits Genocide

Do you remember those “Save the Children” ads where a celebrity would say that for the price of a cup of coffee each day, you can save the life of a child in a Third World country?

I started thinking the other day about all of the people in my office who go out for a latte, cappuccino, or mocha once or twice a day. These things cost 2 or 3 times the price of a regular cup of coffee. Based on this, each of them could save 2 children each. If you look at how many fluffy coffees Starbucks sells each day across North America, millions of children a year could be saved. Given the trend of the last 15 years of people abdicating personal responsibility more and more each day, Starbucks could be viewed as being responsible for the deaths of millions of Children a year.

That is a real stretch.

I'm with Jack...though I do like the idea of giving whatever money one would spend on a latte each day to an organization dedicated to saving children.

Can I plead tiredness due to commenting at 2:43 AM my time?

perhaps each co-worker could save one overpriced fluffy child instead of two regular ones?

and, obviously the skin color of the child saved should correspond directly to the milkiness of the beverage of choice...
