Ill just paste some parts on.
Starbucks Corp. has a new more revealing logo of its trademark mermaid. The logo -- which offers a more revealing look at the coffee chain's mermaid symbol and goes with brown instead of green as its color -- is getting mixed reviews from marketing and public relations experts.
A Christian group in San Diego called The Resistance is offended by the new logo and wants consumers to boycott or complain to the the Seattle-based coffee house (NYSE: SBUX).
"Nothing makes me want coffee more than a limber mermaid queen," said Allison Bailin, a PR executive with Phoenix-based HMA Public Relations. (If you didn't get it that was sarcasm)Well?
I am laughing my ass off.
I thought SOME people(tsk tsk guess who) wouldn't have enough time on their hands with the society degrading, children learning about crack and spreading the Gospel but NO
we have to talk about boobies so small and insignificant that one would only notice it if you stuffed it up your arse!
I guess Starbucks gave up something to talk about. Talk about free advertising huh?
