Evangelist's Rant At Starbucks Goes Viral

An evangelist's rant about Starbucks' festive red cups has gone viral after he claimed the coffee chain "hates Jesus". The company has opted for a minimalist design to its cups this year, having previously featured more obviously festive motifs. This has enraged Joshua Feuerstein, from Phoenix, Arizona, who posted a video on Facebook that has now been viewed more than 12 million times. It has the title: "Starbucks REMOVED CHRISTMAS from their cups because they hate Jesus ... SO I PRANKED THEM ... and they HATE IT!!!!" In the video, he calls on Starbucks customers to say their name is "Merry Christmas" as a way of getting the message onto the firm's cups, and then post a selfie on social media with the #merrychristmasstarbucks. Grasping a red cup bearing the hashtag, Mr Feuerstein said: "I think in the age of political correctness we've become so open-minded our brains have literally fallen out of our head."
