the coffee ninja!

a few weeks ago i received an email in my hotmail inbox (yes, the inbox, not the junk mail folder...hotmail bastards) from the 'coffee ninja'. the subject line touted a free $250 gift certificate from either dunkin donuts or starbucks. mmm...starbucks.

see, when i think coffee ninjas, i'm picturing something a little bit like this:

so, on the basis of the intriguing 'coffee ninja' appellation alone, i opened the email and attempted to redeem my 'prize'. no such luck, boys and girls. apparently the offer isn't available in my area, but they can link me up to a site that will explain how i too can create tempting, money-making advertisements. i did get this cool .gif in the email though:

and really, at the end of the day, who needs the free coffee when you've got a free coffee .gif???

le sigh.

why would you want to drink coffee when you can look at a steaming cup of beans? maybe i should become a coffee drinker solely due to that gif. then again, maybe not..

you know, i never even clued into the fact that it was not, in fact, a cup of coffee, but rather just the beans...steaming. that's really weird. then again, cover them in chocolate, and i'm all-up-ons.
