I saw the dress as white & gold at first, but somehow it flipped, and I can't see it as anything other than blue & black now.

I am so glad that Starbucks isn't kow towing to any bizarre demographic who is offended by the red cup.

Cupgate is so over-the-top, I'm seriously wondered if anyone truly is offended by the red cup. I'm sure there are a few crazies who will pick up the topic and run with it for media attention--but I imagine that regular folks who are really "concerned" about this cup are rare.
