Guest, it's time once again for the massively important and exciting FoH Asshat Tournament!
Go here and give us your nominations!Who's been the biggest Asshat in the last year? Give us your worst ones!
Those rioters are completely justified and anyone who steps inside that place deserves whatever beating they receive for being such an un-apologetic douchebag.that's actually a5$ a bowl cereal bar, which makes it sad b/c most of the kids who live in that neighborhood are below the poverty line. This is pic of the inside.
but yea, the rioters are of course just being assholes.

Want to protest a business? Don't go there.
Causing civil unrest and destruction because you're pissed a business charges $5 for a bowl of cereal is stupid. I would love a steak, I'm not going to go trash the place that sells them for $120 on the low end.
"Most of the kids in that area live below the poverty line" - Boohoo, how is it that business's fault? Want to help those kids? Go do that then, that's not on this business.

I'd protest that lame place, and fuck them for putting it in the shit area of town. If you're charging that much for off the shelf cereal find a place for it where people are into that. We have some faggoty beer places here that charge >$10 a bottle, but they're within a couple blocks of college housing, and, predictably, the rich college kids will pay that to sit out on the sidewalk making sure you know they can and will pay retarded amounts for imported beer. If they opened that in Deltona the people would laugh, and if it was part of a process that was jacking up rent and property taxes they'd probably vandalize the place. And I'd agree with them. It's their town, and if you expect to change it expect resistance. Maybe do a little bit of research before gentrifying a poor residential district.

I don't see the problem. Who cares where you open it? You are not forced to buy it? If there is no demand then it closes. But if there is demand and it stays open then obviously there are people who don't mind it being there.
Protesting would be just not buying it, passing out flyers, maybe picket the front. Not vandalize and riot the place like a bunch of idiots.

You got poor neighborhood kids walking by going "mummy, i want a bowl of capn crunch or Special Kates (it's the UK so they have cereal named after kate middleton)". And while the poverty stricken mom finds a way to say "No" to her daughter, a dirty hippie shoves his way through to get his cereal fix. Or worse yet, some snob brings his daughter in to eat some cereal from the states.

If it's part of a concerted effort of buying up properties and selling them to upscale businesses it could be a real estate/banking ploy to kick out the poor people. Someone with means owns all that land, and maybe they think now is a good time to make more off of it. That does happen. London probably sees more of it than most places. But then where do the people who ain't got shit go? Into a worse shithole often enough.

People who can sell their "land" to whoever they want for how ever much they want(if there is actual demand at that price) and every single one of them(either just normal people or groups of investors) will try to get the highest price. If these "protestors" were selling their home, you think they are going to turn down higher money just to sell to some one with less money? No, they are going to do exactly what they complain about.
Also the reverse happens, inner-city sprawls out and takes over suburban areas. What happens as populations grow and people migrate around depending on their situations.
Anyhow enough of this nonsense in FF thread.
Tried the Cherry Starburst from Taco Bell, it was ok. But as I am not a big fan of the cherry candy I wasn't expecting too much. I would love if they made Lemon flavor, since those are my two favorite flavors of starburst.

Y'all old timers never been to a cereal bar, obviously. Our union had one in college and it was like maybe 5 bucks a bowl but you could select as many cereals as you wanted and fill it with candy like gummy worms and nerds and shit and after all was said and done you were really only jipped maybe a dollar total.
That said unless it was 3am and I was out with drunk people I don't know that I'd ever go to another place like that. Unless they had mega sized bowls, then I'd be VERY down.
Edit: Okay, a lot of their website does make it seem like standard Portland/Brooklyn hipster garbage. The only thing worthwhile is their pre-mixed "cocktails". Some look worthy of 5 dollars. Fuck them charging a dollar per topping though.

Isn't that Britta from Community?
On a more serious note - tried the Halloween Whopper tonight since I was next door... wife loved it, I was not impressed - if I was blindfolded, I don't think I could ID it against a regular Whopper - if there was any A1 flavor in the black bun it was super subtle.
It did look cool though.

With how much hipster and "organic/kale" shit goes together in my experience it seems like a complete oxymoron to me.
