Burger joint's name, logo irks LGBT group
 Advertisements [?]By Jillian Berman, Daily Staff Reporter



When the owners of Quickie Burger and Dogs chose their logo, they thought it would make patrons crave an order of chili cheese fries. But the logo, a busty woman in a tight shirt straddling a hamburger, has drawn criticism from campus groups.

The newest addition to the South State Street landscape has caused a stir on campus with its brightly colored logo, which some believe is offensive.

The restaurant, which opened two weeks ago, sits south of campus at the intersection of State and Hill streets. Adorning the blue awning above the restaurant next to its name is an image of a cowgirl riding a hamburger.

The Stonewall Democrats, a lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender caucus of the University's College Democrats chapter, has taken offense with the restaurant's logo and recently began circulating a petition to sway the owners to change the logo.

7. well, according to Kolly Roberts, of the Stonewall Democrats
 (Kolly, is a He, by the way) "I have a problem that you take a women riding a hamburger and you put it next to the word 'quickie,' " he said. "It just seems like it's not putting a good message out there for the objectification of women."

really. come on.

20. If this is the best cause they can find to spend their time on, they need to open their eyes.
 There's a million better and more pressing things to deal with in the world than a stupid burger joint logo.

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

You should see the google ad that popped up on that page.  It's about "gay male fitness".  It's photo sorta puts the Quickie Burger cartoon to shame.
