Tragic MooLatte Revisited
The Houston Press quizzes Dairy Queen.
By Timothy Noah
Posted Wednesday, Aug. 18, 2004, at 3:33 AM PT

The Houston Press, an alternative weekly in the New Times chain, agrees that the name of Dairy Queen's new frozen drink, the MooLatte, sounds so much like "mulatto" as to call into question the mental competence of Dairy Queen's corporate leadership. (See "The Tragic MooLatte," July 14.) That the Minneapolis-based company would deliberately allude to the hoary stock character of the "tragic mulatto" in naming a drink of light brown hue is too ghastly a possibility to consider. But could DQ really be so dim as not to notice the similarities between "MooLatte" and "mulatto"? Houston Press staff writers Richard Connelly and Craig Malisow have laid out compelling evidence that it is.
The rest of the article is absolutely unbelievable:

this reminds of right after 9.11. Starbucks had some sort of promo poster with their new drinks and they were sitting in grass. they were made to look really big and there were two dragonflies flying right toward the two drinks.

people freaked out cause they thought Starbucks was 'making fun of 9.11'.

what a crazy place we live in...

I remember that, as I was working at SB at the time. This lady came in and said she was "appalled." I threw her drink in her face. Well, not really.

I would've gone the extra mile and drawn a little turban on the dragonfly. And maybe some stick figures throwing themselves off the froth.

That article was stupid. Sounds like people are grasping at straws.

a couple weeks ago the houston press had an article about a guy who got busted, like BIG TIME. the cops knocked down his door and hassled him for like 40 minutes. it was a marijuana bust.

the guy was growing hibiscus.
