Starbucks Brainwashes Boston Cabbies

Catch Up Lady takes paranoid note of Starbucks’ infiltration of Boston cab drivers, who seem to be in cahoots with It’s Red Again, the pay-it-forward campaign that’s got people doing all kinds of weird shit like buying baked goods for each other. And smiling! What’s with the smiling?!

Catch Up Lady vows to bar herself indoors but to be honest we’d like to get in the way of the people giving out movie tickets and orgasmic pastries. Clearly another demonstration of how Starbucks intends to take over the world, to no positive end. – Contributed by Angela Natividad
