>> Lee: Welcome to dumb sourcefed I’m lee newton… A new parody store of Starbucks,
called DUMB Starbucks is making crazy news, as they set up shot over the weekend in Los
Angeles and gave away free cups of joe!
Now the store is very similar to Starbucks, in fact is almost exactly the same, except
for the fact that is has the word DUMB in front of it… but like everywhere, it says
dumb coffee Starbucks on the cups, the menu has Dumb iced coffee & Iced tea, Dumb espresso,
Dumb Iced espresso, Dumb Brewed coffee, Dumb tea, they even have DUMB Nora jones duet cd’s
for sale!!
Now I know what you're thinking, what kind of a dumb viral stunt is this?? And it makes
it look even more suspicious when Community creator Dan Harmon, and Rain Wilson are some
of the first people to tweet about the dumb store—so help me god if Dumb Starbucks is
a new TV show coming out??? Please cast me as the lovable but always high barista, cause
theres one in every store… and I believe in me.
Currently a spokesman for Starbucks told the wall street journal that dumb Starbucks “obviously”
has no affiliation with Starbucks, and as of right now its unclear who is behind the
coffee shop, but they are able to get away with it due to it being considered “a work
of parody art”. Under the law, dumb Starbucks is not a coffee shop but an art gallery..
And the dumb coffee you are buying is considered art.
And clearly their art is working, plenty of people have tweeted out about the 1-hour wait
outside of dumb Starbucks, and they did the super smart business tactic of giving away
free coffee over the weekend. Not to mention, creating a product you can't get anywhere
else… I like coffee, but I’ve never had overpriced dumb coffee??? I NEED It NOW!!
Question: So guys what other parody stores are you looking forward to?
