Letter to the Editor: Clayton Starbucks
A letter I wrote to the editor of my local newspaper:
Dear N&O: The article in Wednesday’s paper called “Starbucks Buzz Baffles Clayton” was a complete waste of space.
Peggy Lim, the author, needs to go find work elsewhere, or at least go find someone to interview who lives on the planet Earth.
“People here have never heard of Starbucks,” says an ignorant geezer, on this third trip to Bojangles. Where do you find these people? This old man does not represent the majority of the population. The article itself even said that the Great Wall of China has it’s own Starbucks! Yet people in Clayton are clueless? The fact that the persons sought for interview about this were 3-time-a-day visitors to the Bojangles is absolutely pathetic. This kind of reporting lends itself to the widely held belief that reporters deliberately find the trashiest rednecks to interview after disasters, such as a tornado. It is almost as though Peggy Lim took the job of writing this article as a joke. Some of us are tired of drinking so-called coffee from Dunkin Donuts and Bojangles, which is probably just dirty water with a brown crayon stirred in it.
Tell 63-year-old Harold Parrish, the interviewee, to pull his head out of his enlarged-prostate-ridden ass.
