TKC BREAKING AND EXCLUSIVE NEWS!!! SHAME ON THE ROASTERIE FOR ADDING LIGHT POLLUTION TO THE PROMO PLANE!!!



Driving home I witnessed a bit of insulted added to injury for a working class Kansas City neighborhood.

So far TKC is the only media outlet in Kansas City to call out the shameful behavior of The Roasterie and encourage local coffee lovers to shop elsewhere.

Our boycott has devastated the so-called "fair trade" credentials of the local coffeemaker because we've documented the way they have stomped all over Kansas City's Westside neighborhood in order to promote their hypocritical brand.

We knew this would be a long, hard fight and this evening we witnessed a sneak attack form this despicable Kansas City Big Coffee Biz.

TAKE A LOOK AT THE ROASTERIE PROMO PLANE LIT UP AND BLIGHTING KANSAS CITY'S WESTSIDE WITH THEIR OBNOXIOUS DISPLAY!!!



This is every bit as detrimental to a neighborhood as noise pollution from loud music or an abandoned house.

The Roastarie has basically declared war on Kansas City's working class with their lack of consideration of their neighbors.

Right now our job is simply to document this disrespect and encourage THE TKC ROASTERIE BOYCOTT that's eventually going to wipe this company away from Kansas City.

Reactionaries and TKC haters can swallow the swill served up by the Roasterie but we know that decent people will find another place to grab a cup that doesn't insult a Kansas City neighborhood.

Hopefully, we'll have more later . . .

I agree that the whole plane mount design is ugly as hell, but who really gives a shit anyway, Kansas City is ugly in so many ways why would anyone expect anything less?? Actually that plane and its low rent mount design is what KC is all about!
Failure breeds failure, just as fucked up parents spawn killers and thugs. get over it its reality !

Leave the damn plane alone. It is one of the few things interesting to look at in the whole area.

11:25 They would do it anywhere in KC, just like you do it everyday in the toilet, which is where the state of KC is currently in...the cherry on that terd would be our sports teams LOL

The toy train movement is not fueled by wine....its fueled by greed and probably crack or meth supplied to the mayor and council by the mayors son...what his name again? That halfrican gets all they breaks as far as justice is concerned, yet after all in KC its not what you do ,it's about who your daddy is!! Oh yes and you JOCO spoiled fucks can relate!

I question how close the thing is to the power lines. Doesn't look regulation to me. They will go bankrupt one day, then we are stuck looking at a POS!! I think someone was roasting more than coffee beans to have this idea.

It looks better than all the trash and engine blocks in the yards in that neighborhood. Food stamp boycott of Roasterie!

You've never been to the West Side. You are just repeating stereotypes. What you're describing is Independence, MO.

I wish they would move it to Waldo.

It's cool as hell.

Looks like the plane ran into a bunch of power lines and is caught in their web.

Bad lighting after dark. The coffee company needs to get their engineer's money back.

Tony would it be better if they chopped the top and put hydraulics on it?

Great piece of real art for the area. It's a smashing display for a wonderful company, The Roasterie!

I live in Waldo, and I'd love to see it here. Maybe in place of some of the billboards on Wornall.

AT least they put it in a shithole that didn't matter. IF TKC is boycotting it, I'm buying second helpings.

It was awesome before, but now it's TOTALLY FUCKING AWESOME! I like Starbuck's flavor better, but maybe now I'll switch just to support this fantastic piece of Americana. Thanks for pointing me their way, Tony!

I never tried Roasterie coffee until Tony pointed out the airplane. Just bought my second bag!

Obviously the Roasterie forgot to consult your wisdom about codes and regulations.

Give them a call. I'm sure they've been waiting for The TKC codes expert!

LOL!

Well it's about time Tony made some work for the Roasterie PR hacks.
