Must-see TV: Martha Stewart's prison exit to be televised.
Is this the Pac-Man Fever of the 00's? Cringe-inducing unironic Starbucks corporate pep rally song based on Starship's "We Built This City". So bad you have to keep listening—for at least a few seconds. (via Gawker)

Did I actually hear the line "Knee-deep in the mocha" in there somewhere??! Am I hearing things??!

Is this real? Seems like even Starbucks would know that the vast majority of their employees or associates or whatever they are called, would think this was nothing short of cheesy.

This is a milestone in the cultural history of America. In the future people will ask "Where were you when you first heard 'We built this Starbucks'?" I can't stop listening.

Just more proof that Starbucks serves up pure unadulterated evil. :)

Starbucks. Ugh.
Marth Stewart. Double ugh. Okay, here's a woman who is a felon, a crook, who stole $60,000 and committed perjury. I don't understand why people are so gung-ho supportive of her. What's separates her from any other crook? Money, power, and privilege?

I was so nervous but thankfully i just placed my order for "FELCH MANIAC" on an NFL jersey. Also love it that "dahmer" is not allowed.

I LO-O-O-OVE Martha!!
If only she had shared a cell with Squeakee Fromme, then she'd really have something to talk about.

The usually astute Gawker flubbed the story. I know this because the guy who writes the source column is my boyfriend:
Last Days
We've been listening to the song for a week, thanks to an astute friend who pick up a complimentary copy.
