Tee hee! Starbucks put up a lil make your own holiday e-card site called ItsRedAgain — and Oxfam’s used it to send its own message about getting Starbucks to play fair with Ethiopian farmers.

Listen to Oxfam’s card here :) It took me a lil while to load, but it was worth it. You might wanna create your own subversive message too!

Update, 12/11/06: Jim Donald, Starbucks CEO, sez Ethiopia should opt for certification instead of trademarking — but then admits he can’t tell the difference between the two.
