CEO Bullshit Speak - Untranslated/Translated.

May 2nd, 2008


Starbucks Earnings Sink 21%

“Fiscal 2008 is a transitional year for Starbucks and, while our financial results are clearly being impacted by reduced frequency to our U.S. stores, we believe that as we continue to execute on the initiatives generated by our transformation agenda, we will reinvigorate the Starbucks Experience for our customers,” Howard Schultz, who is chairman, president and chief executive, said in a statement.

Translation:

Ain’t nobody got no money for $6 cuppa coffee no mo’. Where da fuck my golden parachute at? I be bailing up outta dis motherfucker, quick-like.

Alternate theory: Could be that the recent resurgence of this old logo has scared their customers away. Nothing like a mermaid brandishing her splayed tails at you to turn you off your coffee/tea. I mean, ewwwww. I just can’t decide if they had laLohan or BSpears as their model for this crotch shot.

    I’ll confess. That’s really one of the many semi-porn photo shoots I did when I was 18 and brok’d. I’m so ashamed *sob*

    That was the longest sentence ever. I’m just sure.

    Jeni, I hope you got some cream for those scales.

    You’re right - that’s one hell of a sentence.

    • I don't live on the moon
      Drink martinis in the afternoon
      I don't pretend to make
      The world feel better
      I don't live on the moon
      No I, I don't live on the moon

    • It just ain't fair this
      thing called loving
      When one's still there
      and the other feels nothing
      I would have done anything for you
      I still love you, baby I adore you
