Miss Marple Posted November 10, 2015 Share Posted November 10, 2015 BREAKING NEWS.... Just stopped by Target and got hot chocolates while we were there. The sign on the menu board said "The red cups are just the beginning. Check back with us on 11/10!" The plot thickens! LOL! makes me wonder if they didn't start the whole silly controversy themselves for the free advertising ;) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Renthead Mommy Posted November 10, 2015 Share Posted November 10, 2015 You have GOT to go to Target tomorrow and report back. It's for educational purposes after all. Well the boy needs pants and a few other things. Target was not a planned part of that trip so I had left the Target coupon home. The boy picked out what he wanted, so conviently enough, I will be going back. I'll keep you updated... 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Julie Smith Posted November 10, 2015 Share Posted November 10, 2015 This thread reminded me of a scene from judging Amy. Maxine has to take an anger management class. At one point they are stating things that ignite their rage. The people before her mention fist word problems. She then goes into really awful things that she is exposed to through her work as a social worker. Google: judging Amy anger management class, (note it is bad quality video, someone recording the a tv) Ps.

HSmomof2 Posted November 10, 2015 Share Posted November 10, 2015 I've been thinking about this cup thing today. I've only had a couple people on FB post about being upset about it. But have been reading the ridiculous comments on the #merrychristmasstarbucks page. I still just don't get how this is an attack on Christianity. I truly wouldn't want a baby Jesus or any other Christian symbol (or a symbol from any other religious faith) splashed across a paper cup that I'm going to drink out of and throw in the garbage. That would just seem wrong. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It now seems hip to post about how you don't find this offensive and then use it as a platform to pontificate about whatever it is you find to be a greater ill in the world. I am actually sick of reading those! If you want to spout off about your own opinions on whatever, that is fine, but using this cup thing is just making it more of a thing.

LisaKinVA Posted November 10, 2015 Share Posted November 10, 2015 Best I can really tell, there was really ONE guy who makes a living on being outrageous who made a ranting video which got a lot of hits. Someone in the media got onto it, and then the "outrage" about the "outrage" started (which, to the best of my knowledge is actually MUCH larger than the original "outrage.") No one (on any side of this supposed issue) seems to reference the fact that there is one original source, but now everyone is fixated on it (either decrying/mocking the supposed "outrage" or talking about how Christians should be "outraged" about something else to a much greater extent.) I'm calling shenanigans on the whole thing. This "red cup" debacle is nothing more than astroturf. It's really fake, social-media hype based upon one on-line video blogger, that people were all too happy to jump in on. I'd like to return my feed to my normal updates from family and friends, and hope this mess just goes away...although I'm sure Starbucks is getting more free publicity than ever, and is laughing all the way to the bank. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Onceuponatime Posted November 10, 2015 Share Posted November 10, 2015 At least one real life person has taken it upon himself to perpetuate outrage against Starbucks.

A week ago it was "what is the world coming to" about the father and son who wanted to marry. Forget reading the article. Nevermind that they were a long-term, unrelated couple already who had gone the adoption route in order to get a level of legal status. That's been around for decades. Now they want the full legal status they're entitled to. Is that worth reacting to? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

YaelAldrich Posted November 10, 2015 Share Posted November 10, 2015 And that makes ME wonder what they would do if they were on the Moon or Mars. I'd assume daily prayers would be easy enough, find Earth in the sky and pray in that direction. But timing of holidays? That one fatwah against space travel if it's a one way trip aside... I can give you an article about what Jews do since we have had Jewish astronauts in space. Ilan Ramon, of blessed memory, was on the last shuttle to have a fatal mission. He brought a Torah on the shuttle and did discuss how to acknowledge the Sabbath (even though I don't believe he was religious, per say). http://lubavitch.com/news/article/2014606/Chabad-Rabbi-Guides-Astronaut-in-Keeping-Shabbat-in-Space.html 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SKL Posted November 10, 2015 Share Posted November 10, 2015 It's funny though, the whole "happy holidays" is a US thing. I have traveled over the Christmas holidays and in other countries, it's "Merry Christmas" (or whatever religious event is happening locally).

Butter Posted November 10, 2015 Share Posted November 10, 2015 From http://www.snopes.com/starbucks-red-christmas-cups/ This year's iconic red Starbucks cup features a two-toned ombré design, with a bright poppy color on top that shades into a darker cranberry below. "We have anchored the design with the classic Starbucks holiday red that is bright and exciting," said Jeffrey Fields, Starbucks vice president of Design & Content. "The ombré creates a distinctive dimension, fluidity and weightedness." Since 1997 Starbucks has served its holiday beverages in a unique cup, starting with a jazz-themed design in jewel tones of deeper reds, greens and blues. Every year since, the cup has told a story of the holidays by featuring symbols of the season from vintage ornaments and hand-drawn reindeer to modern vector-illustrated characters. "In the past, we have told stories with our holiday cups designs," said Fields. "This year we wanted to usher in the holidays with a purity of design that welcomes all of our stories." "Starbucks has become a place of sanctuary during the holidays," he said. "We're embracing the simplicity and the quietness of it. It's [a] more open way to usher in the holiday.

SKL Posted November 10, 2015 Share Posted November 10, 2015 OK, Starbucks has a diverse workforce as well as diverse clientele, so one should expect inclusive thinking in designing the cup. I think the statement quoted above was pretty mild, but it seems a little PC only because of the extra-PC environment of the day. Someone with an addled brain apparently jumped on the statement and found some addled like-thinkers to pile on. But it's on the rest of us for giving it so much attention. Ultimately, you're damned if you do or if you don't, as usual. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We all know SWB settled the "Xian" thing here, but that doesn't mean that people elsewhere aren't upset about the "Merry Xmas" thing -- it seems to come up every year, and not just here, so if someone was extreme enough to get upset about a red Starbucks cup, they would probably go off the deep end about Xmas.
