Is there also some strange opposition to putting snowflakes or snowmen on a cup?  Is that going to rattle someone's cage too?  Does a candy cane have a previously unknown religious connotation?

Ah... it might to those who are snow challenged. LOL

I'm sitting at my desk right now with my Starbucks coffee in the red cup. And you know what?  You can't see a darned thing on the cup anyhow because that brown cardboard piece they put around the cup so you don't burn your hands takes up 3/4 of the cup.  Even IF there was something on it, you wouldn't see it. 

As an aside, I'd also like to know where people are paying so much money for a cup of Starbucks coffee?  I buy a tall coffee with cream and spent $1.85.  Even a large is only slightly over $2.00.

I thought it was just a nice festive red cup.... I thought the picture on the middle of the cup was the Starbucks logo picture.. I do not see this as a controversy or anything important... just a red cup with there logo picture on it.

The cup controversy is much ado about NOTHING. Starbuck's coffee is the WORST. The price is also RIDICULOUS!

What is ridiculous about $1.85 for a small coffee or a little over $2.00 for a large?  If you can't afford it, that's okay.

Yes it has.

But you know, it's a new and improved board.  So much better than it used to be.  NOT!
