  Really, about Starsucks.   I can't believe all those stupid yuppies 
actually drink that terrible coffee.
  It just goes to show, that there always has to be lots of someones to 
make up a herd.
  The coffee beans are cheap shit.  They over-roast it to mask the 
average to bad taste it would have otherwise.
  The unique "taste" you get from bitter, overroasted beans, is 
Starsucks.
  And then they pay MORE for it!     Sheeeesh.

  Where were these people when my car dealership was offering 1000$ 
spiffs/bonuses on every new car lease I sold?
