Collapse into THIS, Osama! June 16, 2002 Coffee big box STARBUCKS are at it again! First, they set rumour mills a-spinnin' last September when rescue workers at the site of the World Trade Center were charged $130 for a case of water to take to the site. Initially, this was believed to be another Internet hoax, initiated by the following e-mail spam:
Only after the nasty corporate habits of America's largest coffee chain were made public did the PR spinners rectify the situation. This summer, Starbucks launched a campaign to introduce their new Tazo Citrus drinks. Just one problem... Customers (especially those in New York City) didn't take too well to Starbucks' subliminal imagery of the "twin towers" of Tazo, nor to the the dragonfly heading straight for the drinks, or even the use of the word "collapse"! But wait, there's more! Doesn't that dragonfly have the head of Osama bin Laden? Never mind - the chain didn't want to get political again and followed orders from head office in Seattle to quietly remove the posters. Don't tell anyone. Not even on the Internet... |
