Starbucks
Says: No More Coffee
In a press release given on Tuesday, August 12th,
Starbucks announced that it will no longer serve coffee at any
of its retailers. "We shall stick to lattes, espressos, frappachinos,
and other high quality beverages. We here at starbucks believe
that coffee is low class, and is an addictive substance such as
tobacco." exclaimed the spokesperson for Starbucks.
"Why are you doing all this?" was the
outcry of the press. "Starbucks is the BMW or Lexus of caffeine
enriched beverages. Selling Coffee is beneath us. It ruins our
reputation... When you are buying starbucks, you aren't just paying
for your beverage, you are paying for the name and the feeling
you get when you drink Starbucks. You're paying for the image
you get when you are drinking it. All those 'Wow, look at that
sexy man/woman who's drinking Starbucks' comments. Thats what
you pay for." the spokesperson continued.
After the press release, The Boredom Times was lucky
enough to get the spokesperson for a personal interview. (By luck
enough, we mean we bound and gagged him until he agreed).
"So
is coffee really that low class?" asked Pen Pen, our interviewer.
"Well, You have to understand. Coffee is evil.
Starbucks is good. Do you really want to support terrorism? Coffee
is made by people who support terrorists, Starbucks' products
are not. So, its american to buy Starbucks." The spokesperson
responded slowly, looking for a way out of room.
"There are millions of coffee drinkers out there who like
their coffee black with a bit of sugar, what do you have to say
to them, those that used to rely on you for coffee."
"There are also millions of crackheads running the streets,
that doesn't mean we are going to supply crack to them. We are
prestigious ..." After saying that, the Starbucks spokesperson
bolted for the door and could not be caught.
