Let's Try To Be Christian About Coffee

Starbucks has changed the color of its mermaid logo from green to brown, and given appreciative coffee drinkers a more revealing look at the woman-fish. A Christian group in California called The Redundance is offended by the new logo, and wants consumers to boycott the coffee chain. Are they out of their fucking minds? I need my coffee, and a half naked mermaid on the cup does not offend my sensibilities.

These pompous people need to get a life. There are plenty of significant things going on in this world that people should find offensive. I find many things displeasing, but the Starbuck’s logo is not one of them. I do find it unconscionable when corporations in this country reap multi-million dollar profits off the blood of young Americans dying in a desert. I t’s repulsive finding a pubic hair in my pasta, but I’m not boycotting the noodle company. It’s also offensive when religious leaders put on a show of piety while behind closed doors they are molesting children. Those are some of the things I find offensive, not the cutie on the cup. How about boycotting those puppies, and leave the coffee company alone.

I haven’t heard any mermaids complaining so get over it and find something worthwhile to protest about. How about starting with the gas prices?
