slutbucks

Some really nutso Christian group is boycotting Starbucks. They are pissed about the new logo, which is actually the original from the 70s. Is this something to get pissed about? HELLO? I think it's tight. I like the look of it. It looks like a crappy drawing done by a kid. Memo to this Christian group: If you boycott Starbucks, it won't matter. Starbucks is powerful and makes money every time you blink. Whatevs, I still love me some iced cafe con leche, sweetened please. Basically the use of "Slutbucks" in an official press release from a "Christian" group is enough to make my sides hurt. Whoever wrote that also needs to get in the business of writing headlines about Princess Leia and Han Solo doin' it (read back a few entries). Check out the press release below. It's ridic.

Christian Group Denounces Starbucks
Over New Logo of Naked Mermaid

(San Diego, CA) Starbucks has recently introduced a new version of their logo which features a topless mermaid with her legs spread, which has caused outrage from a nation wide Christian media watchdog organization. The Resistance, with has over 3000 members nationwide, is boycotting Starbucks across the country saying their new logo is inappropriate.

The Starbucks logo has a naked woman on it with her legs spread like a prostitute, explains Mark Dice, founder of the group. Need I say more? It's extremely poor taste, and the company might as well call themselves, Slutbucks.

The all-brown logo is a replica of the one the chain used when it opened its first store in Pike Place in Seattle in 1971. The woman is actually a siren, not a mermaid, which in Greek mythology lures people to them with their beautiful songs, and then kills them, explains Dice.

The Resistance has made international news for rebuking various Hollywood celebrities for their ridiculous behavior, including Jessica Simpson, Paris Hilton, 50 Cent, Tom Cruise and others. They also demanded that Duke University change the name of their Blue Devils sports team to something not offensive to the Christian community.
