Porno Starbucks Logo ("How the Starbucks Siren Became Less Naughty")

I'm prolife. I love Jesus.

I'm not real worried about it. But then it never occurred to me that anyone would want to *blank* a fish.

Actually until all this came up I was just used to the newer logos. I thought all the wavy lines were water she came up out of.

I think $2 is for a cup of coffee is an obscenity worth prosecuting though.

And the name has always given me the creeps. I don't know why. It kind of reeks of neopaganism.

But the logo (even with nipples and all showing) just strikes me as old world maritime nostalgia. Which as it turns out is exactly what the owners were trying to do.

(Too bad their coffee sucks.)

I think people need to get a life when they start to worry about what’s on a cup of starbucks.

[Resolute Conservative]

Yeah especially when they pay more per gallon for that swill and ambiance versus a gallon of gas but bitch all day about gas.

You guys don’t think a barebreasted woman holding her legs apart

lol...
It's a mermaid, dude...she ain't got no legs and bare breasted mermaids have been riding the bows of American sailing vessels for over two hundred years.

[arderkrag]

I certainly wouldn’t. How utterly ridiculous.

[Perdogg]

My favorite is the green tea latte. Plus the baristas are very nice looking young ladies.

You have to also account for quanity discounts. A vente would not cost $4.00 X 6.4 per gallon, it would be less.

[boogerbear]

It’s not a woman, they aren’t legs, and the artistic root dates back to the 15th century so “further degradation” is a bit of a stretch too.

[arderkrag]

Then this must REALLY piss you off:

[Taffini]

bear breasts?

My Eyes! My Eyes!

[Taffini]

Do they know about the naked flying babies in the Sistine Chapel?

[ROLF of the HILL COUNTRY]

The original logo from the 1970s was a better rendering of a mermaid, but nobody got excited about then, why now?? Mermaids have always been depicted bare, it was the prudes at Disney or somewhere that decided to give them seashell bras. Nowhere else in the world are they so covered; where they are shown in children's books or toys, they're shown in accordance with the Myth.

Some people just have waaaaaaay too much time on their hands.

[DManA]

I don't think the artist was drinking coffee when he drew a mermaid with two tails.

[mnehring]

shhhh.. don't tell anyone, but did you know that *gasp* Jesus was born naked?

[Hatheos]

LOL, awesome! hehe

[MrB]

That’s one funny logo there...
If they had the “B” for British on the “top”, it would be a hat.

**Breaking News**

Because of pressure from religious groups over the nakedness of Starbuck's logo, Starbucks has officially announced that the new logo will be based on a recent incarnation of The Little Mermaid in Denmark- Burqa and all.
