A christian group based in San Diego called The Resistance says the logo looks like a naked woman with her legs spread like a prostitute.

What dirty little minds these Christians have.

gimme a break

The Christian "logo" is a sadomasochistic recreation of a man with nail through his hands and feet suspended on a cross nearly naked.
I think I would prefer my grandkids view the Starbucks logo.

What a bunch of idiots. They remind me of the people in the church where I grew up, looking for hidden meanings in the Beatle's songs, or other rock-and-roll. Just to have an excuse to say it is "evil".

As I have told my kids over the years. Stop worrying about others and take care of yourself. If you are doing all the things that *you* need to do it will fill your day and you will not have time to worry about others.

3000 members, 2999 of whom have beat their wife and kids or screwed their home "schooled" children or met some guy in a public washroom.

Like I said before, religion is a mental illness.

"A Christian group based in San Diego found grounds for outrage"

They just don't make journalists like this anymore.

A RP supporter.

What a surprise.

This is why people want to tear down crosses.

War in Iraq, Cyclones in Burma, Earthquakes in China all of these events have left Thousands on Thousands homeless or worst dead, an this so called Cristian group feels the need to critize a LOGO?

What the hell are these people thinking? How about using the Church to raise funds for clothing AN FOOD for these people that are hurting, These are not Christians, these are people with a Political agenda, THESE ARE NOT CHRISTIANS!!!

I guess that anything is possible, but here in Northern California, I have never seen anyone with legs like that. It appears to me to be a MERMAID,with a tail thats split not someone with legs...For God sake use your Ministry to HELP somebody...........

How about using the Church to raise funds for clothing AN FOOD for these people that are hurting,

How do you know they're not?

By and large good comments. Nice goin', guys. Proud of ya. herm

I mean no spin. No Bush cracks. No "but Willie had a blow job." herm

Looks fishy to me

Wanna bet Dunkin' Donuts made a big contribution?

Fantasy News Items:

San Diego:
"Starbucks changes their name to Slutbucks"
"Mark Dice's Head Explodes" Video at 11.

With Christians like this around, why are people so intimidated by Muslims?

I am not going to use the words Christians and Morons in the same sentence. I Promise!

She is NOT a slut! I paid $3.50 for a latte mocha special and that bitch didn't even let me get to second base!

This reminds me of a certain attorney general covering up a work of art because he was so sexually repressed. It's not healthy I tell you!
Other countries that aren't as sexually repressed actually have less sexual assaults.

Why is this even a so-called news story?

Much ado about nothing and anyways just about any locally owned coffee shop has better coffee than Starbucks. I'd suggest that if Starbucks wants to get back business they start serving good coffee with homefries, bacon and eggs served by topless waitresses. Now that would be a real news story.

Homefries--yuuummy..


I think the logo is ugly--frankly.

The green one is better.

Chris-where were you 37 years ago when this logo was first used by Starbucks?

IS there a sub-section of bestiality that gets off on fish? Piscophiles?

Well, there is real controversy brewing here.

Wow. Even more stuff I didn't need to know. Thanks!It really explains a lot of the reactions. I'm getting a clear picture now. And no sir, I don't like it.

Chris-where were you 37 years ago when this logo was first used by Starbucks?

I couldn't afford "designer" coffee 37 years ago.
Didn't do the $2.50 a cup "latte" bit.

I drank whatever the restaurant I happened to be in was pouring and labeled as their idea of "coffee."

correction to my 2:10 p.m.

monthyly centerfold = monthly centerfold

There are much more important things to worry about than what some fake "Christian" is currently on a rant about..after all-we haven't heard a thing about Britney Spears or Paris Hilton lately..

Ahhhhh, The scent of a woman!

Must be trying to capture the american women segment.

Like I said before, religion is a mental illness.


Sorry, Northguy, that would be liberalism.

As for these jackoffs, where do you start? I suppose the first thing I'd want to know is just how in the hell one gets a sexual image out of looking at a fucking Starbucks cup?

People seriously have way too much time on their hands.

This mermaid looks like she's spreadeagled for a Playboy monthyly centerfold.


Granted, it's been a while since I've looked at a playboy, but I don't remember any of the women with their legs planted behind their ears in the "come and get it big boy" position.

Maybe playboy is finally moving up in the world of porn and I should check it out.

I blame our puritan roots. Great googly moogly!

Oh, for Christ's sake.

Get born again? I'm just guessing.

Those leaves look like spread legs. I know about this advertising trick, so it looks cheesy to me.

To Northguy, I think God thinks you are a mental illness. You persecute what you don't understand.

Leaves?

What leaves?

Are you stupid Baxter, you know what I mean.

Rick

If you focus too much on the spot where the "leaves" meet, you will go blind.

Ha Ha,

I wonder if these uptight Christers know about Starbuck being taken from,

Oh the horror,

Say it wasn't,

Moby Dick?

This story made me laugh -- the "outrage" is so idiotic.

However, according to the article:

"[Creative partner Terry Heckler] poured [sic] over old marine books until he came up with a logo 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."


Apparently, the figure on the cup is a seductress of sorts. So, these "Resistance" idiots were kind of on to something.

I just don't know why they care.

How about using the Church to raise funds for clothing AN FOOD for these people that are hurting,

Well ..... can I just drink coffee til I need glasses?

Isn't there something in the bible to help these bored christian zealots plan their day? Get a hobby I don't have to hear about on the news, please.

......I like naked women with their legs spread like prostitutes.........

Golly Gee. Here comes the PC'ness which will, quote me, will destroy this country in a few years. Soon no one will agree on anything and we will fall like Rome. We already apologized for a soldier shooting the Koran (Freedom of speech does not get you far these days).

Freedom of speech - If some one wants to be 'offended' about something and wants to speak out and or boycott why would any of those who post here have a problem with that. Hell, the ACLU would back their right to do so, so why mock someone exercising their rights - like PETA and Code Pink for example.

Nice rack....no nips....

That's a stretch, Oorah.


Irregularly shaped boobs with even more irregularly shaped aeleola's (sp?) which are also discolored AND no nipples?!?

To Northguy, I think God thinks you are a mental illness. You persecute what you don't understand.

.,.....and religion doesn't?

The dumb fuckers need to read Moby Dick and educate themselves on the history of the logo. What assholes. 3,000 members and they're calling for a NATIONWIDE boycott. Pious Gall, that's what that is.

I collect boob coins like the 1917 Standing Liberty & CONNECTICUT Penny 1787 US Mutton head


seems like they get taken out of circulation after murdering in wars is sanitized for some reason as holy wars...so don't use the bible for target practice:>)

JEFF-
Here's a photo of the Wachovia building in downtown Winston-Salem. Apparently it's the tallest one in the state. Looks a bit like a huge dildo.

No offense guys, but could you instead post more boob pics instead.....and I don't mean smokestacks on the moon pics.

Mermaids are only half fish.

Spud went out with a mermaid once but found he couldn't go down on her without tartar sauce.

*rim-shot*

Nice Troy McClure reference from Ooh-rah.

Spud still misses Phil Hartman.

That guy rawked.

Ever see the Futurama episode where Fry wanted to abandon his friends and live with his mermaid girlkfriend in the Lost City of Atlanta?

Well... he did until he found out how fish made love anyway.

Funny stuff.

More precisely on topic?

Fuggin' religious whackjobs are a total larf and a half with their non-sensical, meaningless outrages over the stupidest things.

In point of fact this "new" logo is actually a censored version of the old 1971 logo.

We have misery inducing wars going on, a failing enviroment and a fundamentally unfair global economy, starving folks around the world, and somehow these assclowns think that bitching about a picture on a coffee cup is somehow a worthwhile venture.

Idiots.

Danni's comment on how a group whose own symbol is that of a nearly naked man being tortured to death shouldn't be bitching about other people's symbology was basically a case of...

Thread Over. Danni Wins.

Suprised nobody's made a "nice piece of tail" comment yet.

Reubenesque?

Does that mean someone who eats a lot of sandwiches?

Be Well.

"VERNON" take your nose up from "GOATMAN" ass an say something that at least pretends to make some sense. "GOATMAN", remember what I told you before when the Revolution starts I'm coming after your RACIST ASS!!!!

I heard about this on the radio and rushed out to buy my own. I am so friggin disapointed now. Stupid christians got my hopes up that my fucking $6.00 coffee would finally be worth it. It should show someone getting anally raped just so you're clear on what happens when you pay for it. And so I'd feel I was getting my money's worth from free porn with my coffee.

Hahahahahaha...... I can see that the libs are really pissed off --- instead of respecting the rights of the folks in San Diego to their opinions. HYPOCRITICAL LIBS!!!!!

Hey Free speech works both ways. They are free to speak their minds about this coffee cup logo and we are free to speak our minds on how dumb this really is.

Larry Mohr

You know if these Christian Groups would have their heads on Christ instead of the lust of their loins they would not even have noticed this so called slut on Starbucks coffee cups. Just goes to show me where their minds REALLY are.

Larry Mohr

........Christian Taliban.........

.......different bag.......same shit.......

If these guys want to really get upset, what about the Coffee Bean and Tea Leaf logo?


Chinese vagina!

Swear to God.

Well grease my grommet, what's the big fuss?

Shoot, it would have been more progressive if Starbucks had a picture of Tommy Tirdknocker doing the bone-dance with Mr. Sphincter. That way Starbucks Coffee would easily become the beverage of choice at every YMCA and Sodomite wedding!

Good to the last drop!

I have to agree with the previous posters, religion, and liberalism, are mental disorders, because they both ignore reality and replace it with a make-believe world.
