What do you think of this Starbucks ad promotional poster?

[XZeroII]

I had no idea what the fuss was about. That's just plain dumb. Some people...

I won't say any more.


(note: they are being pulled from all stores)

i thought it was the "we proudly brew" part, as opposed to just heating up stuff they bring in...

Yeah, it's stupid. Some people...

As was stated in the article, Starbucks marketing likely used "collapse" for the alliteration. Collapse... Cool... it's more catchy.

After 3 seconds of thought, I came up with something better, maintaining the alliteration, that actually relates to the butterflies in the picture: "Catch something Cool". Add a butterfly net, and you've got a great ad. Hell, start a whole campaign. The next one would be fish in a stream. Then the next one would feature one of these drinks cradled in a baseball glove. Whoever thought of "Collapse into Cool" was an idiot, not because of the WTC connection, but because they can't write ads worth sh!t.

You can't do that! Fish feel pain too, and we wouldn't want to promote the horrendous abuse of these creatures simply to sell a new drink. /sarcasm

The same people who will no longer listen to "Darlington County" from Born in the USA.

I work for the bucks, and this stuff makes me laugh so hard, I personally had to "remove ours" from the store. People are such idiots sometimes, this ad campaign was made way before 9/11 even happened. I saw promo sketches of it.

It looked pretty darn tasty to me, but now I don't think I'll ever look at that dragonfly the same way again.

What does that have to do with anything?

The caffeine level is pretty low for those, they only have a little bit of green tea in them.

 

[Gaard]

This is the same Starbucks that charged EMT workers $130 for water immediately following the collapse of the towers.

They actually did this?

 

[Platypus]

Yes, one person did, I don't know why people jump on the bandwagon and scream the evils of starbucks for one person's actions. It was a single act and of course starbucks doesn't condone what he did at all.
