the outrage over the outrage is WAY louder on the starbucks cups. I have not stumbled across a single facebook post or tweet that is actually bothered by the cup. Thousands of them complaining about the complaining though.

Friend, they are champions at using social media to annoy people. I don't even have Facebook, and yet they still manage to make sure I know about and am embarassed by their narcissistic attention-seeking and judging.

My Starbucks has a Christmas tree with paper ornaments that list gifts needed for a family at a local high school. You take an ornament, buy the present, and take it back to Starbucks to be delivered the the family.

It offended me as an atheist, so I threw it at the barista and called him a Nazi.

I guess it kinda fits, that whole Saturnalia, neo-pagan angle. Also, they should have visually identified you as a godless public sector employee. Its really all their fault.

God, I hate when people making arguments say, "I mean, think about it."

I pretty much stop listening as soon as you say that. There's no argument that has ever followed that phrase (spoken in earnest) that's been valid.
