STOP EVERYTHING!!!!

Starbucks came out with a new logo! That, though, is not the big deal and actually isn't even the complete truth.
When Starbucks opened some 35+ years ago (1971 I do believe) their brand logo of the female bust with flowy hair was not on their cups. It was a happy little mermaid with two tails, long hair, and breast's flaunted. Sounds un-classy, but anyone familiar with old sailor tattoo's and/or drawings and style will recognize it as being of that sort and not distasteful at all. It's actually, dare I say, a rather aesthetically pleasing design.
The 'new' design is actually less 'offensive' than the one from the 70's because that mermaid had nipples whereas the 2008 one does not.
'Offensive' to whom, you ask? Well, to who else but a religious group!!! I believe it's a Christian group called The Resistance (yeah, resistance to rational thinking maybe) that says, more-or-less, Starbucks should be called Slutbucks if they have that naked women spreading her legs like a prostitute as a logo. Jesus Titty Fucking Christ. The 3,000 offended Bible huggers want a nationwide boycott of Starbucks coffee.
Uh huh...
I marvel at these people. Had it been any other group, with the exception of the entire female population of the United States, that had been 'offended' by this silly, quarter sized logo that smiles out from a passersby coffee cup, it would have gotten very little attention. But, because it offends a group of religious people, a (sarcastic) whopping 3,000 of them, it's in the news. So what? Offend the 'followers of God.' Who gives a rats ass? These people are delusionally superior and need a fucking reality check to sit them back down and tell them exactly how trivial they are, how trivial we all are, in the grand scheme of things. Shut up, sit down, and listen. Your religion offends me. Are you going to stop being religious? I didn't think so. The logo on my coffee cup offends you. Am I going to boycott it? Fuck no.
