Another reason to hate Starbucks, yo.

C'mon, guys. There's not cool, and then there's NOT COOL!.

Leave roller derby alone - or better yet, sponsor it and prove you're not corporate d-bags!

but jonathan, they ARE corporate d-bags.

I like the fact that the writer felt the need to use "sexy" twice in the same graf while describing rollergirls. (Though, to be fair, it might be an editing snafu.)

I imagine that before the edit, "sexy" was probably used about 8 times.

Actually, I contacted the reporter and asked for the rough draft, and this is how it read:

"Sexy sexy sexy sexy sexy logo sexy sexy."

So really, that's only 7.

Also, I cannot tell a lie: I buy Starbucks coffee when I'm traveling on the NJ turnpike and in other situations where it's the only game in town, but the 'Bucks is going to have to do far more than relinquish the ownership of concentric circles or even sponsor roller derby before they can convince me that they're not corporate D-bags.

Oh, alright. Revise to: "or better yet, sponsor it and prove begin to make in roads in your corporate d-baggery"
