Like Christmas music and decorations at stores, it seems Christmas is creeping up closer and closer to Halloween every year. Not surprisingly, so is the ridiculous outrage associated from right wing conservative christians saying corporations are not being Christian enough. The latest evidence of a left wing conspiracy to keep Christians down comes via Starbucks.
What was the oppressive action Starbucks took? They announced their holiday cups would be solid red to honor the quietness and simplicity of the holiday season. Red of course is associated with Christmas but to some Christians this is not enough. They have to have a picture of Christ or whatever ridiculousness they need to pacify their victimhood complex. And it's not like Starbucks last year had an overtly Christian theme on their cups, they had snowflakes and sledding and other winter scenes. One misplaced outraged Pastor bought a Starbucks coffee and said his name was Merry Christmas so he could force Starbucks to put Merry Christmas on their cups. Never mind he had to spend money at Starbucks to do it, but saying your name is Merry Christmas so they put it on your cup is about as mature as a child who says his name is Butt so they have to announce it at the store.
Sigh, gonna be a long season...
