I Shouldn't Be Surprised
We all know that Starbucks recently redesigned their cups to reflect their old logo. At the time, there was talk about how the new design made the mermaid’s hair longer to cover her exposed breasts because the company feared complaints about tiny cartoon nudity. I laughed at the extent company’s have to censor themselves these days, but I doubted there would be an actual public backlash.
Well, of course there was. My favorite quote from the article:
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.”
I feel like this could/should have been written at the Onion.
wow. why are people so terrified of sex that they make themselves see it everywhere? it’s paranoid and sad.
