Subject: RE: BS: Boycott Starbucks for Obscene New Logo
Hell's bells!! It doesn't look any different from the logo I've seen around here (Seattle) for thirty-five years!

The video says this religious group maintains that it looks like a naked woman spreading her legs. Actually, it's a very old nautical drawing of a stylized mermaid (which ought to be obvious to anyone who isn't totally obsessed with sex). To me, it looks like a three-way collision between a bare-chested female bather and two fairly sizable codfish.

Be very careful!! These folks can tell when you're whistling dirty songs!
