Bini Posted February 17, 2014 Report Share Posted February 17, 2014 When I first came across this I was immediately sceptical about the so-called "parody law". Here is a follow-up article to this story. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dravin Posted February 18, 2014 Report Share Posted February 18, 2014 I'm expecting they'll get hit by Starbuck's legal team... hard. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
prisonchaplain Posted February 18, 2014 Report Share Posted February 18, 2014 Starbucks would do well to let this run its course. It's funny, and I'd probably go there once or twice. Would I ever be as loyal to Dumb Starbucks Parody Coffee as I am to the authentic--not unless their prices are signficantly lower, and their quality higher.

That's what they were giving it away for. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
prisonchaplain Posted February 18, 2014 Report Share Posted February 18, 2014 Oh great...so for me to outdo Dumb Starbucks I'm going to have to pay customers to take my coffee! Could be a fun gimmick...I've heard of churches running community service car washes. They put up a sign that says, "Car Wash--$1!" When the cars line up thinking they're getting a great deal, they find out the deal is even better. Besides the car wash, the church workers hand the drivers $1 as thanks for allowing them the privilege of serving the community by washing their car.I can see it now: Stupid Dumb Starbucks Coffee--$1 any size! ...As the patrons drive off, dumbfounded, with dollar in hand, the barrista smiles and says, "Come to church this Sunday--it's an even better deal!"
