STARBUCK'S COFFEE HAS A SLUT FOR A LOGO


[+] ballot by UncleRandy

Seems that one person's smut is another person's morning latte.

A Christian group based in San Diego found grounds for outrage over the new retro-style logo for Starbucks Coffee.

The Resistance says the new image has a naked woman on it with her legs spread like a prostitute, The founder of the group, said in a news release...
Need I say more? It's extremely poor taste, and the company might as well call themselves Slutbucks.

The group, which claims more than 3,000 members nationwide and has found a place on the fringe advancing various conspiracy theories, is calling for a national boycott of the coffee-selling giant.

The logo will run on Starbucks cups for several more weeks, a company spokeswoman said, and will live on as the logo for Pike Place bags of coffee.

The image is a less-revealing version of what the chain used for many years, starting when it first opened in Seattle in 1971. That original logo was resurrected in its Northwest outlets for a time in 2006 to mark the chain's 35th anniversary.

The newly revived logo was modified a bit from the original based on feedback from Starbucks customers during its 2006 appearance.

The explanation for that initial logo is explained in the book tittled, Pour Your Heart into It: How Starbucks Built a Company One Cup at a Time.

The logo was based on an old 16 Century Norse woodcut: a two-tailed mermaid, or siren, encircled by the store's original name, Starbucks Coffee, Tea, and Spice. That early siren, bare-breasted and Rubenesque, was supposed to be as seductive as coffee itself."

Two of my favorites... Coffee & Sluts, I love waking up to both.
Starbuck's should have known better.
Lets join the Resistance.
I don't see what the big deal is
Makes you wonder who really has the dirty minds.
I vote for the ancient woodcut, mateys!

Starbucks never said that it was a prostitute, that Christian group did.
