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
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
