Rev. Billy to Exorcise "Studyhall" Starbucks

Reverend Billy Pledges Year-Long, World-Record-Setting Exorcism of Illegal
"Studyhall" Starbucks

Following their 8pm revival show on Wednesday February 23rd at St. Mark's
Church, The Stop Shopping Gospel Choir and Reverend Billy will march to the
Cooper Union Starbucks at 4th Avenue and St. Mark's Place. They will announce
their intent to place in the Guinness Book of World Records for longest
EVICTION OF THE DEVIL FROM THE BODY OF AN INNOCENT VICTIM. The Church and
congregation will roust the demonic sweatshop bean, aka Starbucks, from the so
called "study hall" with gospel shouts and incantations from across the land.Supernatural efforts will begin immediately after the St. Mark's Church revival
concludes at approximately 9:45pm. Round-the-clock, high-pitched cursings,
reciting medieval texts, anti-hypnosis solutions, and singing The Rhyme of the
Busty Mermaid are just a few of the "tricks" The Church of Stop Shopping has up
its "sleeve."


In the mid 1990's a corrupt agreement between Rudy Giuliani's administration and
Cooper Union made possible the third Starbucks on the Astor Place intersection.
Originally, the land was leased by the city to the college rent-free in
perpetuity, with the stipulation the college use it for "educational purposes
only." Giuliani and Cooper Union achieved classic, Orwellian doublespeak in
deeming a transnational coffee shop "educational." If Starbucks is a study hall
Reverend Billy is a fake preacher!!!


Pushback Starbucks!
