Satan Coffee Meets Southern Baptist University

posted Wednesday, 21 September 2005

Hey, I thought Satan Coffee was all about slick marketing and pretty artsy posturing.

Well, I guess even its phalanxes of mindlessly marching marketing minions get it wrong sometimes.  This time around, they really, REALLY got it wrong:

Coffee cups with a gay author's quote about growing up homosexual have been pulled from Baylor University's Starbucks coffee shop. Dining contractor Aramark pulled the cups earlier this month from the campus store following an e-mail sent to Baylor's dining service, saying the quote was inappropriate at a Baptist University.

It's not just Baptist, baby.  It's full of Texas Southern Baptists, some of whom actually do think that dancing is immoral.  Come on, marketing division, do your homework!
