KIRO has been broadcasting all morning (Wednesday) that the Brady Bunch and CeaseFire are going to be handing out pamphlets and demonstrating against Starbucks at the company's stockholder's meeting at the Seattle Center.

Let them. Starbucks announced a first ever cash divedend! Perhaps Starbucks will release a press release thanking OCDO and BB for the $5 mil. in free advertising! Or maybe several high profile stockholders will show up and open carry!

Well, let's start with the fact that you're a reasonably intelligent adult.

Anyone ever see the Penn and Teller Bullsh!t where they made up a fake petition at an environmental rally trying to ban H2O. This kind of reminds me of that. Don't question their message because they are so earnest in trying to sell you on something.

Okay, Okay...

Time for the courtesy laugh:

After all, what they are REALLY after is continued face time on television pushing this gun ban agenda...and they will likely get it.



Don't get over-confident

Let them.I would be willing to bet Starbucks is getting a little annoyed at these folks trying to dictate their policy.Thats why we should just leave it be so as not to give the appearence we are trying to influence.It sounds as if they are just going to stand their ground and follow state law as they have indicated.

Protesting....against Starbucks....in Seattle....

Anyone else see the irony here. They're just making themselves look stupid, now. Leave 'em be. Maybe they'll send a couple more people our way by mistake. :celebrate

We should also honor Starbuck's wishes to not get dragged into the gun control controversy and not do anything. We should honor everybody's wishes to not do anything.

Precisely and folks seeing us around will realize we are not the crazed gun owners that they try to make us out to be.

Saw Ralph Falacio putting starbuck down in an interview he did. I'm sure Starbucks loves hearing how bad Ceasfire thinksStarbucks is running THEIR business.
