Why won't Starbucks even say "Christmas"?

[NightWatcher]

And why doesn't that Advent calendar to the left (out of pic) not mention by name the little baby Jesus?



The Starbucks nearest me, looks like Santa threw up. It's all red and green and Christmas crap from wall to wall. These persecuted christians are off their rockers.

1. Figured You Were Going To Do That

I figured you were going to show the Starbucks Christmas Blend. I saw the video with Josh Fuerstein and the reporter pointed out the same thing. He and other are upset about a cup, that never had Merry Christmas on it, does not have Merry Christmas on it, but do not care that the company has a Christmas blend in their store. I am willing to bet that many of the people who are participating in this "tell Starbucks your name is Merry Christmas" things do not even know that Starbucks has a Christmas Blend.

2. I doubt the complainers have ever been in a Starbucks..

3. I dunno. I find many of Starbucks customers to be into the cult mentality.

How else do they justify $5.50 for a cup of candy coffee?

5. People who are given permission to hate

generally oblige and do so with vehemence. It helps if they have never been in close proximity to what or whom they have been given permission to hate.

4. It's bizarre to me that people who worship the 'free market' can so easily

flip the switch and claim that Hollywood, Starbucks, etc., are on ideological crusades, pushing unpopular things on an unwilling public.
