New Starbucks Logo Brings Out the Kooks


A Christian group in San Diego called The Resistance is offended by the new logo and wants consumers to boycott or complain to the Seattle-based coffee chain.

In the article, MSNBC mistakenly refers to the logo as a mermaid, which it is not. A mermaid has one tail. This is a twin-tailed siren (ok, I did have to wikipedia the official name, but I knew it wasn't a mermaid).

Hilarious quote:

"Seattle is known for people who like the peace pipe and this looks like the work of someone smoking some while watching 'A Fish Called Wanda' in the Pink Taco Restaurant," said Jason Rose, president of Scottsdale-based Rose & Allyn Public Relations.
Uh, Mr. Rose, there isn't a Pink Taco restaurant in Seattle.

I hope Star-big-bucks doesn't yield to the small minded.
