Brand Name Obfuscation

Here's an interesting challenge from the twitterstream. Can you spot mentions of a brand when the writer makes an effort to disguise the brand name?

Brandname obfuscation (e.g. St*rb*cks) is a recognition that twitter has tipped and that the data will be mined. #hardlife for #twanalytics

Thanks to Simon McDermott (@simonmc) for spotting it.
