Financial Week Editor Glenn Coleman is a dick head

Yeah we may be weeks late on this one but we couldn't believe our eyes when we came across the headline "Time Warner Should Buy Starbucks" an idea cooked up by Glenn Coleman editor of Financial Week. Though Coleman was clearly at the height of his daily caffeine intake, such dick headed suggestions will come back to haunt you. Again we don't know how this one flew past us but what can we do? We can't catch everything right. We were taken aback by the suggestion because for the love of the powers that be, we couldn't see it. Can you imagine Starbucks CEO Howie Schultz selling out to Time Warner? The Starbucks brand would die an instant death and his shareholders would eat him alive. Time Inc publications on sale inside, in Starbucks? Time Warner would gain nothing from investing in coffee but a shit storm from their shareholders. Again we give Glenn Coleman the benefit of the doubt but we still think you're a dick head for even allowing this to come out of your mouth. Forget (for now) whether such a merger makes financial sense. It's intriguing, worthy of fun debate, and it points to a bigger issue: whether Time Warner is ultimately a content company or whether it needs as well to control the pipelines through which its goods are delivered. Most insiders I've talked to believe this is the biggest question Jeff Bewkes has to answer -- and will, when he takes charge. They also think he'll ultimately reveal himself to be a content guy, with a strategy to reflect that. Worthy of fun debate for dick heads with nothing better to talk about! And exactly what other pipelines should Time Warner own that its "Goods" are delivered through? Are you suggesting news stands, the homes of which its cable service runs through? Do you mean, our television sets? Dudes, the only thing Time Warner needs to do, is hand Jeff Bewkes the keys and decide what to do with either Time Inc or AOL. And for the record, whether or not Time Warner is content company, is no brainer. The question is, will Time Warner brass identify it as such. Time Warner Should Buy Starbucks [Adage]
