"Cause Starbucks is ceasing its dumb Race Discussion or whatever, this tactic soon to go down in history as the dumbest move made by a corporation in the last century."

Perhaps the idea was to draw attention to Starbucks -- and it did!

The Starbucks corporate officers are laughing all the way to the bank this week!

I don't believe that for a minute. Else why the hell wouldn't every business just boom, wake up and decide to tout race relations on their products if it leads to 52 week highs?

I think Starbucks did a stupid thing and the monetary results of this thing won't be felt by that company for at least a week or two. Now I don't why they did a stupid thing, whether the company's normal liberalism and , let's face it, only rich liberals buy five buck a cup coffee every day, sometimes couple times a day. Or maybe they did it at Al Sharpton's urging, Jesse Jckson.

It was NOT a good business move else they'd keep on doing it, right?

Any attention they got will NOT be good.
