This is just embarrassing.
Group finds Starbucks logo too hot to handle
A Christian group based in San Diego found grounds for outrage over the new retro-style logo.

Seems that one person’s smut is another person’s morning latte.
A Christian group based in San Diego 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.”
This was the original Starbucks logo, and they stopped using it when they went “national” because of the possibility of offending people.
I am actually more curious about why they decided now was a good time to bring it back? Nostalgia? Hubris? (figured that no one could stop them now?)
