Monday, October 24, 2005 In Starbucks we trust POST A COMMENT I always wondered if these high spirited TV Evangelists were on dope when they yelled about Jesus needing a new Cadillac. Now that Starbucks will put "God-filled quotes from the Rev. Rick Warren" (author of The Purpose-Driven Life) on its cups it all makes sense. It's the fucking coffee that has them all jazzed up about the bible. Starbucks has 63 quotes from writers, scientists, musicians, athletes, politicians and cultural critics on cups to carry on the coffeehouse tradition of conversation according to USA Today. "Americans are more accepting of overt religiosity these days, and corporations are good at figuring out how to do it with a light touch, one that's not going to scare off unbelievers," says sociologist David Halle, director of the LeRoy Neiman Center for the Study of American Society and Culture at the University of California-Los Angeles. I guess while I'm sipping my $6 cup of super-high Calorie creamy mocha I need some bullshit sayings to wash it all down. posted by Henry Cruz at 4:52 PM 0 Comments: Post a Comment << Home     ARCHIVES October 2005 .
