Man after watching this vid I want a cup of joe. And, since I'm not racist, I'll make mine black.

[JohnLloydScharf]

Spelling.... "P before L, except before Tea."

[phroboi]

What a waste. How many of those cups found their way into people's hands and how many were simply thrown in the can at the end of the day?

Art is waste.

[HaoWenXiang]

@phroboi Free market. People can do whatever they want with their capital. As if people who sip coffee every day don't waste as much in the form of cups, sugar packets, mixing sticks, and cream cups.

All humans are wasteful. Don't flatter yourself.

[phroboi]

@HaoWenXiang Thanks for responding. You'd disagree with your statement of people being able to do whatever they want with their capital if I were to use my capital to inhibit or prevent the use of yours, in essence limiting your freedom. Staple goods like coffee have been transported from the third to the first world for centuries I just find the current culture surrounding it incredibly wasteful. Yes, all humans are wasteful. I do, however, reserve the right to flatter myself from time to time.

[HaoWenXiang]

@phroboi My statement is one of what is, not one of what should be, your example in fact emphasizing the reality. A man will defile a poplar board with bladders of crushed pigment suspended in linseed oil and sticks dressed with the hairs of badgers if it pleases him. European museums have been filling themselves with such monuments of "waste" for centuries.

This culture you speak of has always been "current".

Amazing!

[mickeyray2123]

Love the idea, the work, dedicated team and the wonderful end result!

The repetitive music was distracting and then became annoying, so I turned off the volume. Great team work, well thought out and executed!

[stratmanpdx]

[zEcKtA]

Now guys drink before it gets cold! haha awesome! good job !

[mbrock5532]

Geez! Lighten up, people! Can't you just enjoy and appreciate something without getting all self-righteous about it? I'm sure NONE of you negative posters EVER do anything that doesn't have a direct, positive impact on people or the environment! Hypocrites!

I'm sure they used rip-off trade coffee, canceled their time at the food bank to create it, and then made homeless black people clean it up for a hamburger! (Yep! RED MEAT!!!!)

[FutureLaugh]

@mbrock5532 why they got to be black homeless people

[mbrock5532]

@FutureLaugh: Because I was using hyperbole and going after all the reactionary, liberal, wacko whiners out there, and they always concentrate on black homeless people over white people. And isn't the liberal stereotype that white people think black people should be the ones doing the menial, clean-up work? It looks like the people doing this were white, so...

[FutureLaugh]

@mbrock5532 why do you think black folk should have to clean this up? you should apologize

[mbrock5532]

@FutureLaugh Are you a moron, or do you not understand what hyperbole means? Nothing I said had anything to do with how I feel about it - it's poking fun at stereotypes. People like you with limited intelligence are why we have so many problems. You react without knowing what you're reacting to or talking about. I have nothing to apologize for whereas you could apologize for being ignorant.

[FutureLaugh]

@mbrock5532 what do you mean "People like me"? im not going to apologize for being ignorant just as you wont apologize for being a racist. Maybe you can take that back to college

[mbrock5532]

@FutureLaugh  Wow! Unbelievable! First of all, you meant bigot, not racist in this context. Secondly, I'm not either. As I explained at the onset, none of what I wrote was what I personally feel but rather poking at the stereotypes people have, one of which is, unfortunately, denigration of black people. My grandson is half-black: I have no problem with people of other races. If you're incapable of understanding my intent, then there's nothing more I can say to someone of your limited intellect.

[FutureLaugh]

@mbrock5532 "denigration" there you go again. Look your constant racial slurs and name calling wont hurt me but it might others on youtube. In the society we live in, in this day and time, it is you that is ignorant to think that blacks have limited intelligence. i am done wasting my time on you

[mbrock5532]

@FutureLaugh Ha! Ha! I'm still laughing my head off at this one!!!!!!! Priceless!!!!

[FutureLaugh]

@mbrock5532 nobody else laughin round here you racist, in the 21st century we dont light crosses on our front lawns

[mbrock5532]

@FutureLaugh ROFL!!!!! Please... STOP!!!! My stomach can't take it from laughing so hard!!!!!

[mbrock5532]

@FutureLaugh Amazing. First, you meant bigot, not racist in this context, but I'm neither. My grandson is half black: I've no problem with any race. I explained from the outset that nothing I wrote was what I personally think but rather was poking at stereotypes people hold, which, unfortunately, includes denigration of black people. If you're incapable of understanding my intent, then there's nothing more I can say to someone of your limited intellect. Sad, ignorant & pathetic - trifecta!

[andieatscandy]

@FutureLaugh OMG. :'D this comment made me laugh so much

[elecorn]

"waste of art"... hmmm... not sure how much "art" is in this... maybe the IDEA of making a picture with cups of coffee... however, the execution could have been done by a robot.

So who had to clean this up?

[jimmerly]

Waste of coffee, waste of art.

[SHFATheRocks]

The music is Mad Stream Rephrase Remix by a group called Kidzen

[Evolutiontoe]

Dig the music to go along with this video.

[harlyhon]

seems like a waste-when there's so much need out there!

[jvidell]

@harlyhon

At least it is just coffee and not something with nuturional value.

[calypto1]

Ah, but it does have nutritional value though.

[alkalain]

Fun & creative but a part of me hopes all that coffee was fair trade...

[sweden30000]

cool
