Just because you put a tail into a martini glass does not make it a martini.
If I pour a rye and coke into a pint glass it doesn't become beer, it's still a rye and coke.
Don't get me wrong, I've gone for fauxtinis from time to time, and some of them are really good, but they aren't martinis.

But if you put the following:
Traditional Dry Martini
2oz Gin or Vodka
0.25oz Dry Vermouth
Garnish with a tail onion or green olive
in a plastic beer cup, do you still have a martini?
I think martinis are all about the nifty looking glasses. Most people into them fauxtinis probably don't even like the taste of booze.
