Linkfest: Cat Feces in Gourmet Coffee

The average price for a pound of fresh coffee is around $10. Kopi Luwak's gourmet coffee sells for $200 a pound. So what makes Kopi Luwak's coffee taste so good? The answer is simple and, well, disgusting: Cat poop.

But not just any cat poop. Take a look at some sophisticated kitty litter on the Most.

The views expressed in the Post piece by the people from KCRW and WTMD strikes me as extremely shortsighted. I would blindly assume more exposure to their content would bring in more listeners, not steal away existing ones.
