Evangelist's Rant At Starbucks Goes Viral

Sky video

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."
