Rough start for Starbucks

Variety.com – Rough start for Starbucks
Starbucks said it didn’t go further and create a themed Frappuccino, for example, because it didn’t want to overly commercialize the tie-in.

Good to hear. I’d hate to be heard ordering a tall, non-fat, triple whipped, double twisted, single belched chocolate covered Arctic Tale latte.  This whole Starbucks as pusher thing kills me. I hate it at the fast food chains as well, but at least they are pushing to kids. Starbucks is pushing to grown-ups that surely can make an informed decision without having to walk into a coffee house and get assaulted by plush toys.

Did Avril Lavigne Steal “Girlfriend?”

Well, you have to admit that they are pretty similar. At the same time, though, how often are you found humming some what is thought to be random ditty in your head and then you can’t place it?  Possible here. Do you really think Avril or any of her “people” were checking out some esoteric 70s tunes and decided to steal it?  I highly doubt the track is available on itunes or Limewire…..

Somewhere in Toronto, Johnny Borodenko is either very very happy….or he is as pissed as me that a classic has been butchered.
