Hello.  With all the talk about the redesigned "original" Starbucks logo that they are now using on their cups, it kind of makes one wonder what the original one actually looked like.

Well here it is in all its glory.  Just click on the link below and you will see it.
(warning:  some may consider the image to be offensive; however it IS their original logo that they used for many years)

OhMyGosh, breasts! This is what all the fuss is about?  There was a feature on my local news last night about some group that was encouraging a boycott due to the "offensive" new/old logo. If you wanna protest starbucks bcuz of the cruddy, expensive coffee, go right ahead.  But, c'mon, really.  All this about cartoon boobs?  I don't get it.

I can see the kids getting suspended from school for posession of pornography when they show up with their morning lattes. I know, sounds crazy, but if they can fire a teacher for WIZARDRY who knows what else they will go overboard on.

In Mark Pendergrast's book UNCOMMON GROUNDS, he makes mention of Howie "sanitizing" the mermaid after he came to power.

By the way it is a must read for coffee geeks.
