What if they held a boycott and nobody stayed home? Protectors of traditional missionary-position-only marriage between straight people have been trying, without much success, to make big corporations stop being so darn gay. By most measures, the "One Million Moms" boycott of JC Penney Co and the The National Organization For Marriage boycotts of Starbucks Coffee had no measurable effects on sales (we now pause 20 seconds to let you get "OMM, NOM NOM NOM" out of your system. It is a reflex, just go with it). But happily for the activist groups, we're still in a sluggish economy where stock performance, corporate profits, and consumer choices can fluctuate for a variety of reasons, so any bad news for either company MUST mean that the boycott
I think we should take a moment to remember the greatest boycott ever - well, at least since the millworkers in Manchester, England, went without work for years because they didn't want to weave slave-grown cotton from the Confederate States of America.
I write, of course, about Bull O'Really's boycott of France! A whole fucking country! And we know it was a roaring success because he said it was, and any one doubting his obvious facts could read about it in the Paris Business Review.
I'm not much of a Starbucks fan. When I occasionally go in there for a brownie they ask me if I'd like something to drink to go with it and I say "You guys serve coffee?"
However - to the Starbucks busters here I would like to point out at least they provide employee health insurance. I know you'll probably answer that it's a crappy plan, etc. And I'm prepared to believe working there isn't as sweet as having a job at In 'n' Out.
But any low-wage retail establishment that offers any benefits is taking a solid step in the right direction, and giving the lie to those other businesses that say it can't be done.
Today I boycotted Chick-Filet for a tasty plate of migas at a hippy-owned Cafe in South Austin and was served by a gorgeous lesbian who could make any man or woman blush because of her wit and beauty. And the coffee didn't taste like 3% phosphoric acid.
The former customers are over at that new bakery, buying $5 cupcakes.

I'm boycotting a certain VP candidate and her spawn child who has a tee-vee show and it's not working out very well.

maybe Mike Huckabee can hold a Starbucks appreciation day because you know, boycotts are the evil spawn of Satan and whatnot and FREE SPEECH!!!!
oh wait...
Magnolia Cafe at 1600 S. Congress - open 24 hours. Try the Eggs Zapatino, it's spicy love.
The group, of course, includes Tebow himself.
this is probably my fault.
i don't drink coffee.
sorry.
IOKIYAR
The GOP boycott of reality really paid off big, didn't it?
Despite the loss of their Republican supporters. Amazing, innit?
I'll believe their "boycott" is working when I can walk 4 blocks and not pass 8 Starbucks.
Rick Perry had a Prayer-A-Paloser last summer and 1.3 million acres and 2,200 structures were destroyed.
Today I boycotted Chick-Filet for a tasty plate of migas at a hippy-owned Cafe in South Austin and was served by a gorgeous lesbian who could make any man or woman blush because of her wit and beauty. And the coffee didn't taste like 3% phosphoric acid.
Wait. That&#039;s supposed to be <i>coffee</i> they&#039;re serving?!?
One Million Moms. And not a single MILF in the bunch. Fuck me for even trying.
