Fuck you, Caribou Coffee

Read some of the bullshit on these cups.  Caribou Coffee has this trash printed all over the window of their store, which I walk by most everyday.  It never fails to fill me with rage:  “Give your change to charity,”  “Plant lots of trees,” “Have a favorite charity,” “Indulge in CHOCOLATE therapy.”  The one I saw this morning – “Build communities, not empires” – made me want to smash their windows and spray-paint that very phrase on the side of the building.

I take full responsibility for my choices as a consumer.  I’m well aware that I’m not doing anybody any good by giving my money to Starbucks, Target, McDonalds, etc.  But don’t fucking patronize me with your corporate PR bullshit affirmations.  I will never drink your moose piss coffee.
