Starbucks Red cups and the "War on Christmas".

(November 10, 2015 at 12:23 pm)Faith No More Wrote: Sure, there's no need to be outraged about it, but I still think it was a dumb change.  How many people see a snowflake and a sled and feel upset?  It seems like it's just Starbucks pandering to the ultra PC crowd.

I guess if it pisses off fundamentalists, though, it can't be all bad.

The change has nothing to do with pandering to PC people, and everything to do with modern art and fashion.  This Ombre thing (2 tone colors blending into each other) has been all the rage for the types that tend to buy Starbucks.

Snowflakes and sleds are probably not cool enough, or too "common".
