"A Christian group out of San Diego has found grounds for outrage over the new logo for Starbucks Coffee.Actually Yes you do.
The Resistance says the new image 'has a naked woman on it with her legs spread like a prostitute,' Mark Dice, founder of the group, said in a news release. 'Need I say more?"
Such as ... since when do LEGS have scales and tail fins?
ITS A MERMAID YOU MISOGYNIST XENOPHOBIC MORON!

now those who have read a few of my posts know - I think name calling is a sign of losing a debate...I'm not debating here.
I have to ask if he would also put clothes on David ... cover up the Sistine chapel ... or rewrite the Bible to take out all the sex and fornication in there?
Probably not.
Also -- the logo is actually 35 years old ... it just hadn't been used in a while.
I sure hope Starbuck's doesn't give them the time of day ... at least no more than they would any other group who would speak up. They certainly wouldn't stop using it if a bunch of Poseidon worshipping pagans wrote them about how demeaning it is ... so why should this group get higher priority?
Personally, as a woman ... I have to tell you .... I kind of like the more rotunda look to the logo. I think it is a lot less offensive than the one that has been getting used which depicts her more of a young prepubescent girl who's chest is being emphasized by her wavy hair.
Oh ... and I think Mr. Dice owes every woman in the world an apology for thinking that just because they aren't wrapped from head to toe or because their legs aren't glued shut, that they are prostitutes.
I won't hold my breath.
