600 Starbucks locations closing...


The Seattle based coffee chain will be laying off 12,000 of their employees, which is about 7% of their nationwide employment.

The popular chain will be closing 5% of shops because of "a wide-ranging effort to boost its bottom line and its stock price. The chain is accelerating international growth," according to The Seattle Times.

Watering it all down -the stores were losing money mainly because it would compete with other Starbucks, which were just around the corner. I don't know whose idea it was so literally saturate areas with Starbucks, but I'm sure that genius is now part of the 7% laid off.

Honestly, I don't really care if a shitload of Starbucks are closing... just as long as they keep the same recipe for a Java Chip frappucino. If they even decide to reevaluate it, I'm gonna have to smack some CEO bitches.

Congratulations universe, you win

I really want to dislike Jimmy Kimmel. Maybe it's because my first introductions to him were on Comedy Central's The Man Show, but every time I see him I think "what a terrible, unfunny person. He should not be successful." But he just keeps doing things that I think are hilarious.

His stint as a sidekick on Win Ben Stein's Money:



the fact that he dates Sarah Silverman when she's not fucking Matt Damon:



and my most recent discovery, The Week in Unnecessary Censorship:
