Marketing failures

Everywhere, I see these inane Starbucks "Holiday Drinks are Here" ads. As though I've been waiting patiently, or something.

If Los Caffeinistas want their marketing to be as hip as they imagine it is/they are, they should instead be pimping two items:

1. "The Vince Guaraldi trio's _A Charlie Brown Christmas_ on sale here!"
2. "Herbie finger puppets are here!"*

* the elf who wants to be a dentist

I mean, duh.

I joke about how much I sweat in Bikram, but this morning I actually weighed myself before and after. 3 pounds of sweat left me in that 90 minutes.

I don't know whether to cheer or cringe.
