Shock horror! Starbucks cup appears on Game of Thrones. Really?

I can't help thinking that the people who have been obsessing over the brief starring role of a Starbucks coffee cup on Game of Thrones  recently really need to get themselves a life. How is this even news, let alone headline news? Who really cares? Hardly anyone would have even known about it were it not for the incessant coverage on the interwebs and social media.
And how is the fact that the coffee cup has been digitally removed from the streamed version of the GoT episode also news? I mean, why wouldn't they do that?
If the GoT team has any sense of humour at all - and after 7 seasons of blood and gore, I'm pretty sure they have had any semblance of a sense of humour well and truly beaten out of them - they would arrange for a reprise cameo appearance for the cup in the final episode. And maybe ritually garote it or something.
