In the Paper today (Globe 11-28-5) there is a story about a guy who has a mission to visit every Starbucks in the world. Some might regard this as an ambitious quest to do something no one has done before. Some might see it as a foolish waste of time - when there are so many starving children in the world. If you are from New York you cycnically suspect that the guy is secretly on the Starbuck's stealth marketing payroll.
To me, the guy is just a blogwhore, trying to get attention so he can cash-in on the ads everytime you click on his blog, which is littered with little marketing links and absolutely no substance.
Perhaps this is the evolution of the internet - to allow the fiends in marketing to bombard us with promotional messages everywhere we go.
Undoubtedly, the publicity afforded to this wanker will spawn a plethora of me-too "quests."
Geraldo visits every homeless veteran shelter in the US, A Quincy, Mass housewife who decides to visit every toe-fungus clinic in North America, ....that sort of thing.

How can you be "Pro-life" and opposed to welfare?
When you do not see the irony of these competing issues, then you are truly a Conservative.

Bring us your soggy crackers and crumpled paper yearning to be composted, your old cardboard and plastic bottles huddling in your garage. This is the dump; its not just our job, it is who we are: Dumpsterguys
