Starbucks teams up with Red Campaign for World AIDS Day, bringing out unparalleled dickwaddiness in Facebook community

Starbucks is working with the Red Campaign to raise support funds on World AIDS Day, which is Dec. 1.

Join us in support of World AIDS Day. We're giving 5¢ to the Global Fund for every hand-crafted Starbucks beverage sold on December 1, 2008 at participating US and Canada locations.

Invite your friends! We're counting on every customer to help make a difference. Together, we can do a world of good.

Naturally, this ostensibly positive (and rather benign) charity function has been met head-on by a bunch of assholes who happen to have Internet access.

After the jump, check out a minute cross-section of the thousands of thousands of terrible people who have posted comments on the event's Facebook page (must be logged in to view).

Here is my personal favorite:

Thanks for calling these dickwads out. I linked to this in a Facebook 'note' on the same subject (is that alright?). You just won yourself a subscriber nonetheless.
