Looks like the change by Starbucks to revisit their old logo is making some waves, I remember this same issue being a big part of why they changed in the first place. Crazy to me that anyone would find the logo offensive. Link to article on Motherjones ...

Also this is an edited version of the the original 1971 logo. It looks the same, but what they've done is edited it so that her hair is covering her breasts. Yes, the original siren has tits. Just walk by the 1st starbucks in Seattle and see.

Comment by Bruce Milletto on May 10, 2008 at 12:50pm: So at least they covered her nipples (omg) sin sin... and p.s. she is half fish and we all realize that evolution being the teaching of the devil- well - lets not tie in anyway fish and humans!
Bottom line these people need to get a life and concentrate on REAL family values. Next up is banning all coffee because they see a vagina in the bean itself - proving Morther Nature is not related to Mother Teresa...

Comment by janvier on May 12, 2008 at 8:36pm: More offensive than ichthio-humanoid breasts; "Fresh Roasted Coffee"
