"Might as well call themselves Slutbucks"

And now the uber-conservative Christians have gotten in the middle of it.  It was only a matter of time.  Considering the original logo was changed to something more "PC" (or in this case is it "CC"?) because they knew people would get upset.


 Whatever.  I am sick of talking about this.  I just think it is sad and makes me upset sometimes.  As Starbucks founder Howard Schultz explains in his book, there was a perfectly good reason and thought process behind the logo selection, including the fact that the company name itself is a nautical reference (maybe if you ever read Moby-Dick, one of the greatest pieces of American literature, you would know that) very appropriate for Seattle, where it was founded.  Whatever, I am not going to defend their logo.  I just wish they were allowed to stay true to their original identity and the reasoning behind it, or at the very least have the occasional throw-back reference to their founding, without getting flack from the panties-in-a-wad crowd.
