The Lovers Beat The Haters! Thanks Starbucks!

Recently Starbucks spoke out in support of gay marriage. Some people did not like that and began to orchestrate a boycott of the company. A thank you campaign was started in response and it gained 10 times the support!
http://www.thedailymeal.com/gay-marriag ... boycotts-0The article is super short, but here is a snip:
In response, NOM started a boycott petition that currently has 17,930 pledges. The organization appears to have been prepared for Schultz’s response, as they had the Dump Starbucks domain name and web site ready to go.
In response to the NOM petition, Sumofus.org started a group thank you card, which currently has more than 180,000 signatures thanking the coffee giant for supporting gay marriage.

I rarely buy from Starbucks but I really like them. I like their logo. Just Me gave me another reason to like them.
...Oh, and I should note that we have doughnuts in the office lunchroom today. I brewed some coffee to prevent myself from eating a doughnut in an effort to look more like Paul Newman.

I get a cup from them every morning. I may add more to the tip jar then I usually do.

Like.
I actually have only been to a Starbucks once in my life. I was TBM and purchased hot chocolate. I do not drink coffee, but I might have to find something they have that I can buy.

Other observations from the bcspace bubble:
Down is up
Up is down
Black is white
White is black
The sun goes round the earth
And a raven's like a writing desk.

Mr. Bond, the coffee is only $4 if you get it gayed up. If you get a straight-up coffee, it's more like $2 or so. And if you have their little frequent-flyer card thingy, you get "upgrades" for free.

I want some no frills gasoline then.
(I don't really like coffee that much, except during winter).
