The Starbucks mermaid logo over his dangly bits is the clear winner.

Is it too much to ask for a bright cup with pictures of balloons and streamers and “Happy Birthday Jesus!” in bold letters?

I liked what they were originally going to go with:

Until it says “JESUS IS THE REASON FOR THE SEASON!!!” on it in giant, angry letters I will continue to be offended.

“Starbucks appears to be striving for a lukewarm medium”

I wonder if they’ll also fit around the cup like a cozy.

I thought Trump had plans for identification tags that you wear around your arm.

IF THE CUPS DON’T DEPICT THE CROWNING OF THE GLORIOUS HOLY HEAD OF THE BABY JESUS THEN AH WILL RIOT, BAH GAWD

To be fair, most anime fans know exactly who Funimation and Crunchyroll are. The former is the biggest anime distributor in the US and the latter is the biggest legal anime streaming site around the world.

If you’re not a video game fan, then you’re not really paying attention to the ads anyway and for those people, all space FPS games look alike. Not helping is that Destiny’s most “iconic” visual elements are a dude wearing a heavy cloak and a little floating robot. Kinda pales in comparison to Halo’s Spartan helmets…

To be fair, most advertisements font emphasize the franchise name. When you see an ad for Skyrim, it’s only ever called “Skyrim,” not “The Elder Scrolls: Skyrim.” Same with news articles.

You have a crazy idea of what basic cultural awareness is.  

You cannot possibly really believe The Elder Scrolls or Destiny 2 are part of the general pop culture zeitgeist. Hell, even Disney wasn’t all that interested in Disney Infinity. The only thing even vaguely in the realm of general cultural awareness here is the Joust question, and even for that arcade era of classic…

Elder Scrolls, riding ostriches in Joust, and Destiny aren’t basic cultural awareness. Even knowing Bungie made Halo was fairly good.

I don’t think cultural awareness requires that you know what The Elder Scrolls is. So many people don’t play games and wouldn’t have any idea. 

Eh, not really. I’m sure there’s some guy out there who sees you buying groceries or washing your car or whatever and thinks you’re “totally cringe” for not buying the superior brand of toilet paper or using the wrong kind of soap on your taillights.

Certainly in Hollywood.

Thank you. Let’s stop pretending anyone in a power position in Hollywood has morals or scruples; his name is bankable again, so he gets work. End of story.

Maybe it’s just me but I think the negativity towards Mel Gibson is a bit unfair when compared to a lot of other stuff Hollywood seems to turn a blind eye to. How many A-list actors these days have been arrested for domestic abuse and still enjoy completely unaffected careers? Sean Penn and Josh Brolin spring to mind. …
