All right, this is satire, of course. Don't get your pantaloons in a wad.
Like all manufactured controversies, this one started with a few people who just wanted to get some attention for themselves by whipping up into a frenzy a bunch of other people who are constantly on watch for ways to prove how persecuted they are.
In a day when Christians in some countries really are unable to celebrate Christmas without putting their lives in danger, the idea that US Christians are claiming persecution because of a style of coffee cup is beyond laughable. It's pathetic, really.
So, yeah. I did this. If it offends you, you're clearly not my audience.
