| O&A Board Regular Registered: Oct. 00 | Please. Starbucks makes such great coffee and everyone has their own favorite store that they always go to. There's no way that company isn't going to stand strong forever even with all the bad judgement they show.

| O&A Board Regular Registered: Oct. 00 | Oh come on! That Starbucks ad is an exact photo of the plane about to hit the first Tower!! I totally agree with the boys on that strip club one though. That was just some wannabe patriotic dope. Wow, I really added nothing to the topic, did I? :mad: :rolleyes: "One girl, I drove through three states wearing her head as a hat." ~ Garland 'The Marietta Mangler' Greene "Hand me the keys, you cocksucker!"

| Hanger-On Registered: May. 02 | That is a disgusting ad. I don't know what marketing genius thought it was a good idea to use the most heinous attack on American soil to sell coffee, or tea products. This person should be shot, and who ever let that ad go up should have a limb severed. Did they think people would get a chuckle out of it? Man, they were way off. I like teh show! | ||||

| O&A Board Regular Registered: Feb. 01 | Did anyone else happen to get this lil' piece of shit pop-up when they opened up the second NYPost article? Talk about trying to make a cheap buck off the 9/11 tragedy. This is disgusting. :mad: How nice that the NY Post tries to be "responsible" journalists, and then turn around and associate with internet lowlifes.

| Psychopath Registered: Aug. 01 | Is it really a surprise that these creedy bastards would try to profit off tragedy? The ad makes no difference to me, because I would never step foot into a Starbucks. They're awful, good coffee/bad coffee, whatever, they are in the same boat as fast food chains, Wal-Mart, Blockbuster, Barnes & Noble, any of these giant chains who make their living choking smaller, family owned stores out of business. I don't buy the "this is what capitalism is" argument. Fuck that, fuck them, fuck me. "Somebody took my phone number and called Afghanistan. Afghanistan! I've never talked to anyone in Afghanistan, I don't know nobody in Afghanistan, and even if did know anyone, I wouldn't talk to that Afghan ass for three hours! I won't talk to my daddy for three hours." | ||||

| Hanger-On Registered: Jun. 02 | This really is Bullshit sensationalism by you guys. I walked past this poster in my store at least 10 times and never once did I go "Wow That looks like the twin towers and the plane and the NYC skyline! Ads are prepared by companies this large many months in advance and any resemblance was merely coincidental. OK I like Starbucks, I like their drinks and I like the atmosphere. If you don’t then get on that store and their service or their product Alright so one person saw something in the poster but this individual is most likley related to someone that sees Mary in a curtain or Jesus in a shadow and has everyone make it a shrine. Then it gets in the paper, and because Starbucks pulls it before anyone can make a stink out of it. You guys who I thought were above this make an n issue of it on the air why? Because thy are a big company, because its fashionable and because your writers didn't come up with any better material. No one ever saw the twin towers in this poster until that individual brought it up and it was printed in a paper! Then yea Ok Now I could see something like that, maybe, possibly, oh well sort of. Oh yea I also saw an image of Nostradamus in a water fountain as well. Just the comment that, "Some Moron did this" demonstrate your ignorance as if ONE person would be able to spend Millions of Dollars on an ad campaign, order material, facilitate the shipping, and coordinate the campaign world wide in over 3000 stores and have authority to do all of that! That a Marketing department requiring many levels of approval, meaning that at the least 50 individuals would of had to look at these posters and that there is a subliminal anti-New York or anti- American, anti-twin towers ad within this poster is absurd and you guys have gone from being cool and straight forward to ridiculous and condescending of your audience to think that we will blindly follow this stupid conspiracy theory. Get a life !  You have got to be kidding! T | ||||

| Hanger-On Registered: May. 02 | Umm.. Teddy Rubskin, If the picture alone doesn't resemble the towers, then how do you explain: "Collapse into cool" What the fuck is that shit? You are blind if you don't see an ad aimed at being humorous gone terribly wrong. I have never seen God in my cereal. I had no clue what this thread was about, then I saw the picture and right away I noticed the resemblance. You have the imagination of a dead man not to notice the blatant similarities. I like teh show! | ||||
| CarsonOGin Froy seems ok, Faceman is fair. But Slash is a cunt, FTL is a total soccer mom, JoeyBigArms thinks he's a fucking message board god. | posted on 06-19-2002 @ 9:29 AM | | |||
| Psychopath Registered: Dec. 01 | quote: How many months ago was Sept 11th? I don't see anything alluding to the twin towers. I saw the Olsen twins, and a load flying at their faces. But that's what I see when I decide to make something out of nothing. Otherwise Starbucks sucks. The coffee beans are way over roasted, the prices are insane, and the yuppie fuckbags that you have to deal with inside with their special little crome coffee cups are the most annoying fucks in the world.

| Hanger-On Registered: Jan. 01 | I work at an advertising agency for 10 years. Ads are not created that far in advance. We have never created an ad that took 9 months to produce. I think the ad is tasteless but that is just my opinion. | ||||

Come on it was accidental they used the word "collapse". If it was a satire or a political cartoon OK even a joke, but for Starbucks to make a profit off of the tragedy is sick.

| Psychopath Registered: Mar. 02 | Well I'll tell you this. If it was intentional, I'm sure one of the hundreds of people involved in its development will leak a memo to the media. If that happens, even I (card-carrying yuppie scum) will shun Starbuck for eternity. It wasn't lies, it was just...bullshit. | ||||
