Um, That's Really Offensive?



As much as I appreciate the sentiment of this (obviously?) fake ad, methinx it has passed from protest directly into direly offensive, do not pass go or collect $200. Man, I sure appreciate struggle waged against corporate oppression, but fuck. There are some images that are not to be toyed with, and this one is pretty much top of the list. There's bad and then there is really, really fucking evil: the green-motifed coffee chain is the first but the original of this fake ad is about something in the second category and it is really demeaning to try and mix the two.

emily zilch shakes the hand of boing-boing's resident craphound, cory doctorow, for this. elphaba knows whose hand he shakes - he's clearly exercising journalistic protection of his sources in this case.
