An anchor at a Fox affiliate in Minneapolis poured coffee on himself on-air while making a joke during a segment about those upset over Starbucks’ red disposable cups.
The company releases a winter-themed cup every holiday season, but some customers were dismayed to see this year’s minimalistic, red cup design.
KMSP-TV anchor Tom Butler was talking about the outrage with Fox reporter Adam Shapiro.
“What ticks me off about this cup, Adam, is there’s nothing in it,” Butler said, opening the lid on the cup, turning it over.
A bit of coffee dribbled out of the cup.
“Oh geez, there was something in it!” Butler said, as guest laughed and talked about the shade of the cup.

I guess he is ready to move up to FuxSnooz central.
Give him a cup of coffee from McDonald’s next time, and he’ll sing “Goodness gracious, great balls on fire” on the air.
Dude…you’re so behind the time…you’re supposed to cover yourself in cow manure, not coffee!!!
in an effort to be ecologically responsible, Starbucks makes its Holiday Cup capable of doubling as your beer cup at your local beer bust/frat party…
The talibangelical raising this “issue” proposes that everyone ordering at Starbucks give the barista the name “Merry Christmas,” so that is what will be written on the cups. Brilliant: “show” Starbucks up by buying a $5.00 coffee, while not changing Starbucks policy one iota.
