gay marriage, gay rights, guy branum, jared logan, parody, vlog

People who talk to their computer screens, record it, and just say whatever comes to their mind with no filter often say the most ludicrous things ever. Uploading their rhetoric online has resulted in a myriad of people speaking their mind when they should probably speak to someone else first.

So with that in mind, the very funny Jared Logan satirizes this fad with “Don’t You Think” where he adds a green screen and a guest in Guy Branum and comes from a place where you constantly quote your HS football coach.

Yep, The President of Dumb Starbucks Is/Was Nathan Fielder

Indeed, there was a “Dumb Starbucks” that was open for about two days on Hillhurst Ave. in Los Feliz here in LA. It wasn’t sanctioned in any way by Starbucks, but that didn’t matter because it was operating as a parody.

That being said, Nathan Fielder, of course, was behind this whole gag, but, due to not having a proper permits to serve food, Dumb Starbucks is currently shut down.

Take note all marketing firms/ad agencies: this was way better than a teaser/trailer for the next season of Nathan For You.
