New revealing Starbucks logo has group screaming 'Slutbucks!'

New revealing Starbucks logo has group screaming 'Slutbucks!'

Seems that one person's smut is another person's morning latte.

A Christian group out of San Diego has found grounds for outrage over the new 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."

The group, which claims more than 3,000 members nationwide, is calling for a national boycott of the coffee-selling giant.

Oh good Lord.  3000 members out of 280+ million in this country...yeah that'll sure put Starbucks outta business.   :whatever:  Besides this really re-defines "hot" coffee.   :-)

I don't care if she is naked or not but I think the old logo is better.

Since I'm officially categorized as a "senior", and my vision is likely not what it once was.......but I can't find anything about the logo to become offended.....it looks rather obscure to me....

The old old logo is now the new logo. But don't confuse that with the new old logo. That's an entirely different logo.

A go-go.

I don't see anything wrong with it. Personally I don't like the logo because it is not simple, as it should be.

No, my friends, there’s only one really progressive idea. And that is the idea of legally limiting the power of the government. That one genuinely liberal, genuinely progressive idea — the Why in 1776, the How in 1787 — is what needs to be conserved. We need to conserve that fundamentally liberal idea. That is why we are conservatives. --Bill Whittle

Old logo definitely better-looking, clean and graphically well-defined.  New logo a bit more 18th-century, but basically a lot uglier.

HA!  Hot damn I'm Heaven bound and I'm taking my plain old Maxwell House (2 Sweet-N-Low and store brand powdered creamer, please!) with me! 

Fancy over priced stump water!  Even the "new" mermaid logo looks like she's been swimming in it!

There are only 24 hours in a day, and I have far more important things to do with all of them rather than get all huffy about some corporate logo.
