If you’re not familiar with the fact that a Christian or two — it’s unclear who and how many and if anybody really cares at all — is upset that Starbucks’ new cups hate Christmas then be grateful.
Apparently, it’s all because they’re dark red instead of dark red and covered in snow flakes, snow men and other snow beasts. You were spared lots of reports of outrage and Donald Trump calling for a boycott and promising, “If I become president, we’re all going to be saying ‘Merry Christmas’ again. That I can tell you.”
Luckily, this has spurred a host of fun, from cups that people are actually trying to make offensive, to Facebook posts like this one from the Perk Downtown, which nails the absurdity of it all.
The post has generated over 220 share and 40 comments, with Mike Britton summing up the reaction: “Awesome!” he writes. “At least someone is willing to end this evil war on Christmas!”
Good on you, Perk, and happy Chrismahanukwanzakah to us all.
