NEW YORK (AP) — It's as red as Santa's suit, a poinsettia or your neighbor's ugly Christmas sweater. Yet Starbucks' stark new holiday coffee cup has set off complaints that the chain is making war on Christmas.
The outcry — which gained in intensity after Donald Trump suggested boycotting the coffee chain — illustrates the fine line companies must walk during the all-important holiday season: They want to stand out from their competitors, but not go so far as to offend or unsettle.
"The challenge is that the holiday language is same for everything," said Allen Adamson, founder of BrandSimple Consulting. "Everyone does it, so how do you do it in a way that's distinctive? If you push too far with distinctiveness, you might end up ruffling feathers."

How does a multinational capitalist enterprise get to practice "socialism" Rumpo?
Life in Obama's America must be very good for people if they can worry about a paper coffee cup
Yo, it`s about Jesus? Get over it! Not Obama, the sick in the head Dictator!!!

What's "Jesus" got to do with coffee, Rumpo? Or with a business running itself as it likes?
Yo, simple? Suck Obama`s ass!!!

You're actually telling us they printed those parts of the article ---- up Obama's ass?
How do you know that?
Except I didn't even bring up "Obama". I asked him what the relationship of Jesus to coffee is and how a corporation can practice "socialism" -- and that's where he directed me: "Obama's ass".
So that's another "example" ---------- of what exactly?
Watch, here it comes again... let's see what orifice he points to this time:
Life in Obama's America must be very good for people if they can worry about a paper coffee cup
Yo, it`s about Jesus? Get over it! Not Obama, the sick in the head Dictator!!!

See what I mean? He doesn't seem to understand the distinction between "Obama" and "a huge multinational coffee corporation".
How is Starbucks "about Jesus", Dippy?
