Yet another group wanting publicity.

Though with Spongebob I can kind of sort of maybe get the point, I mean like if I had 4 or 5 martinis and was in a generous frame of mind.

The Starbucks thing I just don't get.

I guess someone must have a fish fetish and didn't want to be tempted

It's between the non-split-tailed "safe" version and the old one.

Here's what I don't get...the original Starbucks logo was both split-tailed AND had bare breasts with nipple showing... the "new" logo is just the same but with hair grown down to cover the breasts. Where was the moral outrage when it actually had nudity on it?

Heehee! SO true!

Yes of course, I missed that. Why, the old split tail does make me run around buying up all the sardines in town and having a bash in the city fountain after dumping in 200 boxes of Morton salt.

>>>I think that's it exactly. I don't believe in mermaids or sponges. Can't those groups attack something I believe in and maybe not lose so much credibility?

It is one of those things that the change brought attention to it. If they had never changed the logo, no one would have ever noticed. But since they changed, someone looking for a little publicity noticed and decided to run with it.

At least with the tv shows you know they are going to be crude. what do you tell your grandchild who wants to know what does the KY Jelly do to......
well you know

You tell him the truth; that you lube up the old shit-chute so the cock goes in easier.

Since Starbucks is a kike-owned entity, they are probably pushing more smut and porn via their cups. Typical of Jews.

What is a fish fetish, old sport? Is that when you like to shove catfish up your ass and jerk them back out, tearing the inner walls of your anus out? I figure you know all about fetishes.
