Words of Wisdom
In Spring 2006, Starbucks is releasing a coffee mug series with “words of wisdom” from various philosophers, writers, artists, scientists, and activists.
I’m a little insulted that they haven’t asked me to contribute something. I have so much wisdom to give this world and the Starbucks mug is a way for me to take my message to the streets.
I suppose they haven’t asked me because they are afraid my message might be too religious or too political. They are probably afraid I might scare away the Starbucks crowd with my cutting-edge remarks.
Well, the truth hurts and I think my controversial quotes would spark some interesting debates. Here are some quotes I’d like to submit:
“Clubbing seals is a sin—and so is clubbing with Paris Hilton.”
“Kill the whales. We can boil the blubber to get oil.”
“T.G.I.F. by not eating meat.”

I like the first one because you can buy one mug and make a statement about two important issues at once.
How about:
"When the Pope says, Jump, the world says, How high?"
what ever happened to respecting life, don't whales a living being too.
Bravo for the Paris Hilton mug.
y'r m'm'nence,
Yeah, I can see why Starbucks is not using you.
Just too.... much
Dear Mr. Pope,
If you go with the clubbing theme, I think you should have artwork that shows an international no symbol over Paris IN a club, clubbing a baby seal. Its all about multi-tasking.
how about
"sky's the limit if you walk with me" or
"you can take that to the bank, if you walk with me, that is"
no, those aren't very good.
i guess that's why i've not been asked to contribute either.
You probably have to be dead before they put your quote on a mug. If you want it so badly, I guess you'll have to rethink that whole suicide as a mortal sin thing.
How about those who don't drink coffee? What do plan for in that area?
