Re: Offensive Cookies?

Those scarves kind of look like the symbol for "pi."  Starbucks must have made them as an attack on religion and Christmas by bringing up science! LOL!  Bloody polar bears?  Come ON!  Why are people such amadons?

I showed my son the photo you posted, with no commentary, and asked what he thought. It took him two seconds to say, "Looks like a tray of dead polar bears", lol.

 

I think, though, that it's the position of the polar bears with their heads stretched back that makes it look like a massacre.

They've been selling those cookies for many years and no one ever complained until now....lol.  The red cup was silly, this is just dumb.  Some one at Dunkin Donuts must have too much time on their hands....lol.   The cookies are very cute.

Lol. I wouldn't think twice if no one said anything, but it can look like they have their throats cut. However, it is not controversial. That isn't what they were going for. Thanks for the laugh.

The same people complained about blood probably think this is buckshot in the tree cookies

 

There are times when you must speak, not because you are going to change the opposing side, but because if you do not speak, they have changed you.
