In case you’ve been living under a coffee-free rock this week, Starbucks is making headlines with their cups.
Allow me to refresh your memory:
Earlier this week, Starbucks released its holiday coffee cups. In past years, the cups have had a little bit more holiday flair decorating their exterior.
However, in the name of holiday inclusion (and possibly to stir the waters of the public relations pool), Starbucks opted for a blank red cup this year:
And the floodgates were opened!
Some like Raheem Kassam of Breitbart London ironically poked fun at the bland holiday cup with a piece such as this one about the “war on Christmas.” While others may have read Kassam’s sarcastic piece, interpreted it as a serious problem, and then ran with their own rage-fueled internet rampage.
We’re not really sure what happened at that point, but it seems the majority of people are not outraged by this slightly festive cup. However, it certainly makes for good conversation and people have been talking.
The story found its way to Ellen DeGeneres, who weighed in with hilarity only she can pull off. Naturally, it’s a video worth watching because, I mean, is there anything Ellen does that isn’t worth watching?
I assure you the video is well worth your time:
Gosh we love this woman. Forget about nominating Donald Trump or some other dancing buffoon as the Presidential candidate. I think this dancing buffoon is the only one we need.
