Starbucks is bullying, accuse me, denies bullying the poor ol country of Ethiopia over beans. Ethiopia has applied to trademark its most famous coffee names, Sidamo, Harar and Yirgacheffe, enabling it to capture more value from trade, control their use and allow farmers to receive a greater share of the retail price.
What's really in a name? Couldn't they just change the "Sidamo" to "Sadamo", kind of reminds of somebody from Iraq. Or perhaps "Harar" to "Horror" or "Yirgacheffe" to "Viagra Chef". I don't know about you but I'm in the mood for some Sadamo coffee right now and some Viagra Chef to get me to sleep.

sorry, this was a rather tasteless manipulation of the original photo, made at one of saddest moments of the vietnam war...
If you don't like it, don't look at it. That simple.
