The furor over Starbucks new logo is rather humorous. Here’s an enlarged version of the logo - a double-tailed mermaid:

According to some groups, Starbucks new logo is a naked woman with legs spread - like a hooker. They claim it should be called “Slutbucks” and they want to boycott Starbucks. How silly! It’s an amateurish-like drawing of an ugly mermaid. The fact that they added a couple dots and curves to indicate bare boobs doesn’t make it slutty. It’s just bad art. Here’s what the logo would look like on a bag of coffee:

Seems like much ado about nothing to me. I don’t frequent Starbucks because their prices are ridiculous, their coffee is bitter and they support liberal politics. Very rarely I might drop by for a white chocolate mocha or a vanilla latte - but then I use the gift card I got for Christmas. That one $25 card will likely last me a couple years. Starbucks isn’t about coffee anyway. It’s about marketing to the “snob” factor.
