what's with these effing twilightzoners

who read terrorism and pornography in coffee logos and commercials? shouldn't they be worrying about feeding and sheltering the hungry, the poor, the destitute, the needy? shouldn't they be praying for world peace? shouldn't they be caring for the families of those men and women who are serving their country - that come home in a box? worrying about those men and women who are serving their country whose minds have fallen apart? i ask you now, who is listening to these lunatics? dunkin' donuts bent over for the lunatics. i sure hope starbucks DOES NOT

Anger at 'slutty' Starbucks logo


US coffee chain Starbucks has come under fire for a new logo that critics say is offensive and overly graphic.

The Resistance, a US-based Christian group, has called for a national boycott of the coffee-selling giant.

It says the chain's new logo has a naked woman on it with her legs "spread like a prostitute... The company might as well call themselves Slutbucks".

Starbucks says the image - based on a 16th century Norse design of a mermaid with two-tails - is not inappropriate.

Rather, the image is a more conservative version of the original Starbucks design, which hung above the chain's first store when it opened in Seattle's Pike Place Market in 1971.

'Rubenesque'

It says the image - the longstanding logo for Pike Place bags of coffee - is appearing on some of its cups as part of a promotion, and will remain "for several weeks".

Howard Schultz, who bought Starbucks in 1982, described the emblem in his memoirs as "bare-breasted and Rubenesque; [it] was supposed to be as seductive as coffee itself"...........

The new logo (left) being used in some Starbucks outlets has caused offence

my third posting on this shite


it would seem trivial and it WOULD be except for the fact the world seems to revolve around lunacy. i stated here and and here how absurd it is to think rachel ray and her black and white scarf are promoting terrorism. i also stated if dunkin' donuts pulled the ad, i'd no longer frequent their stores or drink their beverages.
well dunkin' pulled the ads. that's it. my relationship with dunkin' is severed. i would STRONGLY URGE EVERYONE WITH EVEN THE TINIEST BIT OF BRAIN MATTER TO BOYCOTT DUNKIN' DONUTS. they've pandered to hate mongers. to evil disease-hearted soul-less beings.
it's a fucking black and white scarf. we're not even talking about how cloying and annoying rachel ray is here. anyway picture of rachel ray and picture of the scarf i'm going to attempt to wear almost every day (for a while)
PLEASE DO NOT PATRONIZE DUNKIN' DONUTS IF YOU HAVE A MIND. PLEASE
MSNBC's Keith Olbermmann bestowed his "worst person" honors on Wednesday's show to Dunkin' Donuts of Canton, Massachusetts, for pulling an advertisement featuring Rachel Ray because of the "xenophobic paranoia" created by the scarf worn around the celebrity cook's neck.
"We told you yesterday about this, the unbearable Rachel Ray in an ad for the donut and coffee chain, to which the lunatic fringe responded in an apoplexy of xenophobic paranoia, because that, that thing around her neck, that is not just a stupid scarf; they think that is what Yasser Arafat used to wear on his head," Olbermann intoned. "See, it‘s jihadist chic. Having already driven business to Dunkin' Donuts by applauding its supposed stance in favor of tough immigration laws, the right threatened to boycott."
Olbermann added, "So what did Dunkin' Donuts do? They folded. They were as weak as their decaf." .........
