In 2005 & 2006, Starbucks bought 2,400 bags of sun-dried Sidamo for retail sale at $26 per pound, or $8,236,800. The Fero Cooperative in Sidamo got paid around $436,000, or $1.38 a pound. The coop paid its farmers around $53,000, promising a dividend of around $7,000. The farmers thus got .73% of expected retail sales. The farmers need Starbucks to execute long-term contracts that guarantee them 2% of retail sales for its "Black Apron Exclusive."
so your argument is that reverend billy is a communist and those who reject your orgasmic consumerist hypnosis are, too? are we consumers before we are humans?
For the record: Jonny has great respect for the Rev. Jonny is a professional. His amateur act - as some of you would have it - was planned. Only a true professional could produce results as poorly as those in this video. The rest of you do it all the time, effortlessly and with great gusto! - Jonny
Actually, you weren't very professional. You were an amateur. Work on the script, then try again. It's good to try, but don't try to pass yourself off as a professional when your act clearly needs work.
this was obviously part of a new program by the Board of Ed to get junior high school kids to discover the theater. Let me explain. Mr. Cigar is actually a student at Allegheny Junior High, and he was painfully shy up until he met the Reverend Billy! Little Cigar just nearly pooped his pants when he saw Rev B, and he just had to get him some-talent, that is. So you see? This is all just a sad tale of a little junior high school boy trying to milk the cool of a true artist. So leave him be!
I can't take you seriously if you use words like "pooped." You are officially cut off and never to be taken seriously again. Not that you ever were. I can't wait to see you perform- I'm sure it'll be a "smash!"
Oh Contraire. "egtooth" - I was raised in a trailer park in the south of Italy. "Trust Fund" is not in your vocabulary so stop pretending it is. And "uranium" - as far as "Parody" is concerned, please stop auditioning around town for Hamlet with a monologue from The Jersey Boys. My plight is above yee pedestrian philistines. - Jonny Cigar
P.S. I never memorize my lines. I'm too good for it.
how much does Starbucks pay you, anyway? If it's enough, get a new acting and vocal coach and sue the ones you have now, because they done you wrong, ciggy.
Jonny Cigar, you are not funny. You are not even interesting. You are a sad little puppet, and the only interesting this is, you don't even seem to know it. It may also get interesting when someone knocks you on your scrawny little trust fund ass.
Parody is art, and, as such, should be, well, respected. What you did was not parody and respect probably never made its way into your life, let alone your act, which was akin to a moth fighting for its life after being sprayed with Windex.
Listen Chief, you can't go after Reverend Freakin' Billy with a hat your momma knitted for you (she made me one just like it!) and a script in your hand. That's like showing up on crutches to duel Zorro with a butterknife. IT'S ALL. ABOUT. THE POMPADOUR. Go home and console yourself with the "Hunks Of The NYPD 2007 Calendar" and come back when you've grown a pair.
i haven't seen humor this flat since the communists for kerry attempted to steal the thunder of the billionaires for bush. A feather in Reverend Billy's hat that some is making a lame attempt to upstage him.
Yes, 3 cents of a $3 Sidarmo Starbuck$ Latte gets to the Ethtiopan Farmer. Why could they possibly want more? Starbuck$ through the miracle and power of the modern trans-national corporations, is able to keep coffee prices low the world over, so your three bucks goes to where it belongs, the expanding Starbuck$ corporate coffers. The world is a better place, due to Starbuck$ and Jonny Cigar.
what s this about???

It's unbelievable how this fellow ignores the plight of his fellow man. May he grow fat while they starve in Ethiopia.

Why didn't the NYPD arrest Jonny Cigar? Was it because he wasn't "off-book"? Or was it the size of his megaphone?
