I have a quick question for the people of the world. How many times a day do you get angry over what your coffee cup looks like? Is your Starbucks cup too white and you get angry because it should be a more eggshell color? No? I didn't think so. Also, what are the usual Christmas colors? They are red and green right, or am I missing something? Okay. Now that we have established that the controversial Starbucks cups are actually politically correct could we worry about something more important in the world like I don't know ISIS, world hunger or gender equality? Or how about this: let's get angry at Starbucks over the fact that they can't spell my name right because that's the real problem here.
I would like to take the time to actually thank Starbucks for not only all their marvelous coffee that brings me joy but also how now a person can order their Eggnog Latte and not feel weird about seeing Santa on their cup because they don't celebrate Christmas. Weird to think there are people who have different religious views than you right?? Ugh, THE HORROR. I just would like to know how its "Immoral" to take the little doodles off the cups. Unless I have stepped into another dimension I am pretty sure that red and green are still Christmas colors?
In America, we are all for being "politically correct" and suiting everyone's needs that we change things every day, so that's what Starbucks did. They wanted to make everyone comfortable to drink their delightful coffee products. If it is that much of an issue I will gladly buy you a Sharpie if you're upset and doodle on your damn red cup for you. The people who get their panties in a twist over this are probably the same people who get caramel frappuccinos and call themselves "established coffee drinkers."
To be honest half of the population of Starbucks drinkers didn't even notice that there weren't doodles on their fricken cups. I buy coffee to drink coffee. I don't buy coffee to inspect the cup. Did you ever hear other religions complaining about the Christmas doodles on the cups years prior? No, you didn't so please sit down and take your complaining over to Dunkin Donuts or something. If these plain RED AND GREEN cups really throw off your Christmas season this much then I am sorry to tell you, but you have so many other problems in life and coffee is just the tip of the psycho iceberg.
Overall I guess people will always need something to complain about. They sky could be too blue for them and the grass too green, nothing will make some people happy. So, please keep on doing what you do best Starbucks. Maybe next year you could come out with an all black cup during the holidays just to cause mass hysteria.
