This is NOT a joke!

A Christian group out of San Diego has 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," Mark Dice, 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 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," said company spokeswoman Bridget Baker, and will live on as the logo for Pike Place bags of coffee.

Starbucks is the McDonalds of espresso coffees. But still, someone should present this "Christian group" with a Bible illustrated with what is really in the Bible, like the Song of Songs.

Slutbucks: I'd drink to that!

What percentage of Americans believe in God and Jesus? Why should we think this a joke? A better question is why aren't more people up in arms, if we're such a Christian nation?

that'll just make the wait line a bit shorter. I bet Slutbucks isn't a bit worried.

and that's not a human. It's a Mermaid. She has no legs to spread. And no bikini top. chillax, christians.

Her scaly thighs creep me out a little bit.

Bleck.

Because starting protests over coffee logos isn't what Christianity is about?

They need to learn the difference between legs and fins.

No fish has two, so they can't be spread.



Don't they have anything better to do?

I'm pretty sure that IS what Christianity is about. That and chanting to a genie in the sky or something.

Don't they have crackers and wine on special occasions?

Sounds like an art opening.

If your local art gallery served grape juice...

They might as well with that cheap sh*t they use out of the box.

But really, shame of the body has been irrevocably ingrained in any religion that stems from the god of Abraham.

ESPECIALLY the female body.

I get shivers just thinking about those child-bearing sluts.

I do, too. Except the ones who like men to call them "Sweetie" while they're doing their jobs. Those are REAL women, not this feminazi "i want to be able to vote!" crap.

One of my favorite bumper stickers on my car is:

"A woman has her place in the Oval Office. On her knees and under the table."

I'm so not surprised after the whole "cover the statues" deal a few years ago.

I had not realized Starbucks was using that logo nationally - it was the original logo for the company, and when they went national they "cleaned it up." It is still used at the original Starbucks in Pike Place Market here in Seattle.


Interesting tidbits about the mermaid logo

I boycott Starbucks anyway.

Now I have two reasons to hate them.

Thank you, Christians, for trying to keep us safe from mermaid boobs!

If God wanted women to have breasts, he would have given them breasts.

God hates the human body. That's why he created it.

It's like that great old Kliban cartoon of God addressing Adam and Eve, saying "I made you in my image, just remember that parts of us are dirty. Got it?"

Do you think God gave breasts to the aliens the pope told us we could believe in?

[Borstalboy]

Cover up those disgusting appendages! You nasty, dirty, filthy women! With your legs doing whatever and your vomitous nipples! You make Jesus PUKE!

[Namaste]

You know, I love how greedy the Pope is being about the whole alien thing. I mean, isn't it enough that god created the earth? Why do Christians/Catholics have to also take the rest of the universe? Can't we non-believers have those planets for ourselves (in case we need to escape from here from time to time)? The bible don't say nothing about no other planets.

Shoot. Greedy ass child f-ers.

I asked the pope if I could have Uranus.

Bless you, my son.
