Starbucks Red cups and the "War on Christmas".

RE: Starbucks Red cups and the "War on Christmas".
It's all stolen paganism anyway. I don't know why Christians aren't out burning Christmas trees.

Or the heretics in their midst . .

 The granting of a pardon is an imputation of guilt, and the acceptance a confession of it.

I ain't got my power armor. I ain't got my mini-gun, ain't no war on Christmas, just yet.  Big Grin

And other than a vente double shot java chip frappuccino, Starbucks sux.  Tongue

I go to Starbucks every Sunday for breakfast with my parents and on the mornings we carpool (at least twice a week). I didn't even notice the cups had changed. (Where they white before? Green? I don't remember...)

I agree 150,000% that this is manufactured outrage. It's been a while since uber-evangelicals have had a battle cry (thanks, Kim Davis), and the end of the year is approaching, so let's make up something to be upset over and slip it under the "War on Christmas" headline!

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.

I love this War on Christmas nonsense. You have to hand it to the religious right: They sure have a knack for making themselves look like idiots.
Only two things are infinite, the universe and human stupidity, and I'm not sure about the former.

But I still hate their coffee.

I can confirm that it's true. I have ordered the 31st Starbucks Division to deliver a flanking attack with its Printshop Brigade in order to loosen the Christian grip on Hill 457 with its crucial terrain feature, Nativity Gulch. They are receiving air support from the 355th MSNBC Squadron. We anticipate full control of Nativity Gulch within the next 48 hours, and are hopeful of capturing the Christian commander there, said to be General Joseph.

Onward, atheist soldiers!

Outstanding work, General!

On my front, I can confirm that the Corporate Christmas Commandos (the fightin' 12/25th) will target several Chick-Fil-A franchises, where they will openly eat McDonald's chicken nuggets (their training to live off scraps of shit will come in handy here) while making derisive remarks about Mary's alleged virginity (e.g., "I'll bet that bitch was a fine little piece of chicken") before heading off to Hobby Lobby for further highly classified mayhem.
