Today I watched a video that was a bit disturbing video for 2 reasons.
1. There are 171 Starbucks stores in Manhattan alone.
2. Someone thought it was worth his time and money ($369+) to try and visit all 171 of these stores in 24 hours and buy at least one thing.

I don't know, is it just me or is that a complete waste of time and money? I'd like to see the movie maker find out how many independent coffee shops are left in Manhattan as a result of the Starbucks invasion and then go and support them for a day.

Anyway, here's THE VIDEO (http://youtube.com/watch?v=CwYxuV2dVzw) if you're curious and have 11 minutes.
