Considering the fact that I got a degree in Marketing I am always interested in new fangled advertising. The latest (and genius I might add) marketing ploy I've come across is this...

With ideas like this Starbucks may be on their way to a comeback. Britney Spears and Starbucks having comebacks...how ironic.
