I hate to be the one to break it to you, but the Starbucks
Red Cup fiasco is a hoax, a contrivance, con, hoodwink, swindle – it just isn’t
an issue. Are people talking about it? Yes, but the people talking – every
single one of them – are decrying the idiocy, not whining about how the
Starbucks mermaid killed baby Jesus in his manger. So, in this article I will
completely unscientifically prove that the whole “controversy” is nothing but a
lot of bull feathers.
