STARBUCKS YANKS AD MOCKING 9/11Here's an excerpt:
The tempest in a teapot revolved around 3,000 window displays touting summer tea brews by depicting two "twin" cups of the concoction standing side-by-side in tall, squared-off blades of grass with dragonflies dive-bombing into one of them.The words "Collapse into Cool" are printed above the image.I don't want to come off as insensitive, but the ad doesn't appear to look like the World Trade Center, nor is the dragonfly (there's only one) dive-bombing anything. I've stared at this ad each morning at my local Starbucks and didn't think anything of it. Maybe since I don't live in New York it doesn't bother me, but even if I did live in New York I doubt it would.The terrorist attacks against America have affected us all, this ad should only affect coffee sales.Take a click over to the article and look at a copy of the ad and decide for yourself.
