nice edit

This is a bold photo edit covering an issue that polarizes many. I like it. I know more than one editor that would have not allowed this photo to run front and center.

'slutbucks'



From the Star Tribune: Group finds Starbucks logo too hot to handle

Seems that one person's smut is another person's morning latte.

A Christian group based in San Diego found grounds for outrage over the new retro-style logo for Starbucks Coffee.

The Resistance says the new image "has a naked woman on it with her legs spread like a prostitute," Mark Dice, founder of the group, said in a news release. "Need I say more? It's extremely poor taste, and the company might as well call themselves Slutbucks."

Don't worry. Unbeige reports that Starbucks brought the brown throwback logo up just for the spring. We'll be seeing a g-rated green version at the drive thru shortly after all of our stimulus checks have arrived.
