Actor Thinks Starbucks is a "Cancer"

Wow, Starbucks stories on consecutive days and I don't even drink coffee. Yesterday we had the "Starbugs" story, and today a British actor thinks the coffee chain is a "cancer":
Hollywood star Rupert Everett has branded the Starbucks coffee chain a "cancer".
The actor is backing a campaign to boycott a new branch close to his home in Bloomsbury, central London.

It will be the first major chain to open on Lamb's Conduit Street, which is famed for its small, independent shops.

Everett, 47, said: "Starbucks is spreading like a cancer.

"Nobody in the neighbourhood wants it, including me.

"There are plenty of diners and coffee shops there already."

Is Starbucks going to replace Wal-Mart as THE place to protest?

Who knows, and frankly, who cares?
