I HATE BEN PEEK

It would take something truly wonderful or truly vile to get me to break my silence before the new year. But Ben Peek has done it. This pustulent bag of crap offends me in every possible way, from his offensive if puerile attempt at a blog to the kind of dandy-ish way he insists on dressing, as if that had anything to do with being a writer. This toad of an excuse for a human being is a lying sack of shit who would turn the knife into his own grandmother for a buck. He's the kind of guy who when seeing the huge mountain of offal he'd have to climb in the service of his bloated ambitions would just calmly put on his hipwaders and set to it.

**Golfclap** That boy's got a purty mouth.

I Hate Starbucks

I Hate Starbucks

  • The vast majority of the coffee is grown using underpaid third world labor.
  • Starbucks is spreading across the world like a virus, infecting cultures with their formula of what a coffee shop should be.
  • They are everywhere.
  • They have predatory business practices. Common practices are things like paying landlords to not renew leases for coffee shops so that they can move in.

  • They sell fake corporate responsibility.
  • I think that their coffee sucks. It is always bitter.
  • The gross profit margin per store is, on average, 59.1%, therefore there is plenty of wiggle room for the company to pay more than a dollar a pound for coffee. (read: livable wage for their slave labor)
  • Faux ecologic responsibility.
  • False employee benefits. They give part time workers (20 hours per week) health insurance. However, I have received hundreds of emails from employees that consistently receive 19.75. 15 minutes shy of earning those costly benefits.
  • The crap they sell is incredibly unhealthy. Get the nutritional information, from their website it is appalling. The Caramel Pecan Sticky Roll (which has more fat than a Big Mac) or even better (worse), the Eggnog Latte are so bad for you it is astounding.
