"Yesterday you may have heard about &amp;quot;Dumb Starbucks,&amp;quot; a caf\u00E9 that opened over the weekend in Los Angeles and nearly broke the internet in the process. The coffee shop looked exactly like a Starbucks and served the same menu, except they added the word &amp;quot;dumb&amp;quot; to everything in the store. After the world pondered whether or not Dumb Starbucks was legal \u2014 employees said it was because of parody law \u2014 and Starbucks said that the new caf\u00E9 &amp;quot;cannot use our name,&amp;quot; the truth has finally come out. Dumb Starbucks was just a prank! And an excellently executed one at that. According to Eater, the coffee shop was all part of a Comedy Central show called Nathan for You, in which comedian Nathan Fielder helps, &amp;quot;struggling small businesses to make it in a competitive market.&amp;quot; It&amp;#039;s still unclear what the struggling business was that Fielder was assisting, but he did state that another Dumb Starbucks would open in Brooklyn &amp;quot;in two weeks.&amp;quot; Though we have to wonder whether or not Fielder was kidding about that, too. After a press conference during which Nathan Fielder explained everything to the public, Dumb Starbucks was rather tragically shut down by the Department of Health for not having a proper permit.
