We were discussing this over on barista exchange. (It's like facebook for coffee geeks)

And I'll say it again.

Icthio-huminoid breasts do not even scratch the surface of offensive. But I will march with signs over this "Fresh Roasted Coffee" claim.

Wow. So a Starbucks moving into the neighborhood really does mark the end of the world in more ways than one...

They're sorta right because the melusine/sheila na gig evolved into being a sign for a whoor. I remember seeing a scurrilous piece of parchment about Mary Queen of Scots which accused her of being a whore and featured a melusine.

@sharpeiboy: @Carol Gardens: Is Sheila-na-gig Gaelic for Britney Spears?

Wonder if Sheila knows about her naughty namesake?

I love how the religious crazies are offended by the naughty parts of mythical creatures. Y'know, because a unicorn's wang is the most serious threat to the unity of the family today.

I actually had to research the history of the Starbuck's logo for an article and there is some truth behind this ridiculousness. The original logo was a siren. The split tail truly was sexually symbolic and the comely creature is related to pagan symbols such as a the Sheila-na-gig, which is basically a squatting woman spreading open her vajayjay. Sheila-na-gig carvings appear on very old Irish churches. Starbucks cleaned up the original logo and for some strange reason are going back to the earlier naughty version. (The original gal also had a navel.)

@brechtgirl: Mermaids with the dual-tail freak me out.

I guess the sailors of yore preferred the two-tails, because the logistics of getting funky with a classic mermaid are far trickier . Blech.

Okay, Mark, like, thanks for letting me share at the prayer meeting this week. I just want everyone to know that, you know, thanks for your prayers and everything, it seems like the ringworm is definitely clearing up. Now, don't worry, I'm not going to gross everyone out and pull down my pants again like last prayer meeting, but if you want to see it, and see how the Lord is working to cure the ringworm, you can ask me after and I'll show you during the coffee hour.

And speaking of which, praise Jesus, okay? Cuz Mark's boycott of Slutbucks is definitely working. We're definitely not buying that stuff and we'll be serving coffee from our new supplier The Bean Flicker. Praise the Lord, those girls are really really nice and their coffee is good, too, so if everyone could just, you know, give their business to The Bean Flicker on North Holloway.

What? Why is everybody laughing?

30 years late. Isn't this actually a cleaned-up version of the original crunchy granola logo? Which looked like (to me, who only saw it a couple times, visiting Seattle) like she had three breasts, or at least a full boob visible amongst the sea-mother's tresses? Bueller?
