:applause:

4. Yes, and clearly it's not in a flattering light!

I've seen this commercial and thought it was pretty funny.

The guy at the town-hall meeting looked like a goofball. They had him at the
meeting, angrily screaming, "I CAN'T TELL THE DIFFERENCE!" when clearly the message was--that
there was no reason to scream. Ha! :rofl:

It's great that they singled out those people into one group worthy of noting. Worthy
of noting how foolish they are.

Like those people drink coffee anyway. The fill up their flasks with Candadian rot gut whiskey
and off to their next town-hall they go...

5. well, they're TEABAGGERS!

Starbucks SHOULD dislike them!

[sui generis]

6. Starbucks carefully considered whether people who yell at town hall meetings

are volvo driving latte drinking regular customers . . . and decided it wouldn't hurt to piss them off either way.

Yee haw.

7. That is Outstanding!

Let the meme begin. Hope there are many more -- the possibilities are endless.

A lot of people will only voice their opinion of something like this if it's been in a commercial or a comedy routine. Gives cover or permission, so to speak.

8. I saw that this morning and literally burst out laughing! :o) nt

9. What a strange collection of groups.

Doesn't seem like nurses belong with the other 4.

11. I think they started with nurses for a reason

Specifically, they drink a lot of coffee. When I first saw that I thought "oh, I bet they drink a lot of coffee". I thought police officers would be next, or something like that. I think they started off with something that made sense and then got progressively more zany.

10. I found that commercial so obnoxious that I refuse to go to starbucks because of it.

[TwilightGardener]

12. Ha! I like it.

[ddeclue]

13. Saw it the other day.. very funny!

[mascarax]

14. I thought the town hall part was funny

It caught my attention - didn't pay attention to what was earlier.

[UTUSN]

15. My problem is that it sneaks up & I only catch it till the town hall part

16. The town hall scene was not realistic.

Because in the back row, right in front of the camera, there is a black man.

Hey they were trying to be inclusive. :D
