Morning Roundup: Black Friday Edition
Car Pushed Into Anacostia River By Train
Hello Cupcake in Dupont Circle turns one tomorrow, and it's celebrating in the most delicious way possible: by giving out free cupcakes! The folks over at HC will give away one free cupcake per customer tomorrow, August 25, at their Connecticut Avenue shop just south of Dupont Circle -- while supplies last that is. No word yet on whether all their usual Tuesday flavors will be up for grabs gratis, but if so, you can pick yourself up a chococo, a Velvet Elvis, a you tart! or a raspberry beret, among others. The shop is scheduled to be open from 10 a.m. to 7 p.m., but the offer expires once they run out, so you might want to head over for a mid-morning or lunchtime fix rather than waiting 'til after work. Also, just FYI: the shop will not be selling multi-cupcake boxes, taking phone orders or doing deliveries during the promotion.

Really? Free cupcakes? What an innovative marketing ploy. Next thing you know, Starbucks will be giving away free cups of coffee. Huh? What? Oh really? Didn't know that. When did that happen?
Seriously, if people are so hard up for a free cake that they'll stand in line next to total idiot strangers who are just as hard up for a free cake, well fine. My retarded monkey and I will be at Starbucks. What? Huh? No way! When did they stop giving away free coffee?
S&M doms-for-hire have been doing this for years. Just replace "free cupcake" with "a free 20 minute ride on the MonkeyRocker®"
Hint, hint, Liz.
OMG ... I think I'm in love.
Okay. I had search on Youporn to see how this thing works.
For those of you who are at work, the answer is "apparently, very well."
Heck, I'm buying one for my office!
Get back on the cupcake cart Liz.
How is this a "Cupcake-pocalypse"? I read the article hoping it meant that the end of the stupid cupcake trend was near.
Sadly, it is about there being even more of these sugary hipster snacks being foisted upon us.
A better title would have been "Cupcake-apalooza". I know, so 90s. But is would be more accurate.
this is right across the street from my office...
too bad i don't have a potato gun...
If Hello Cupcake thinks I'm going to frequent their establishment just because they gave me a free cupcake, they are sorely mistaken. They need to give me at least two cupcakes for me to even consider it.
Once again I am offering to eat the free cupcake of any of you cupcake haters in the area. You go get your cupcake, give it to me, and I will eat it. Unless you put it near your junk, then I won't.
In conclusion, let me eat your free cupcake. Thank you.
How near? Just checkin'
Molly!
Admit it B, all you really want is a can of ready-made frosting. The whole cupcake thing just makes it socially acceptable.
Free cupcake?
Hello Cupcake couldn't pay me to eat their stale, dry-heave inducing cakes with uberoversweetened frosting. There are better options in DC if you must partake in cupcakery.
This would be like McDonald's giving away free french fries. Thanks? I guess.
It's too hot to even think about cupcakes in this sweltering Calcutta on the Potomac.
When, oh when will the cupcake and bacon fling blow over?
