Come on, folks
The latest social media tempest in a tea pot is the supposed outrage of Christians that Starbucks removed snowflakes from their iconic red holiday coffee cup. This is big enough news that Donald Trump took up the cause, which is all you really need to know about it.
Starbucks went minimalist this year, with a cup design that is simply red fading to a darker cranberry color at the bottom. It's elegant and simple, but to "some Christians" this represents just another example of the War on Christmas.
The truth is, 99.8% of Christians couldn't care less. 2% of any population is going to complain about anything. No one cares about Starbucks cups, and it won't make a single dent in sales, believe me.
The bigger issue, if you ask me, is the way that social media is fueled by outrage. More people are outraged about the outrage than were originally outraged, if you follow me. There are about six people in the world who are angry about the Starbucks cups, but thousands of Twitter and Facebook posts about how wrong those people are.
This holiday season, let's all just drink our coffee in peace and try to stay out of each other's business!
