Questions
Why do people say "Oh my gosh, that is funny" or just "That's funny". If it was actually funny wouldn't they just laugh?
Starbucks
A coworker of mine goes there every morning for a venti iced something or other, and yesterday morning she brought something to my attention. Her coffee sleeve had a new and sort of disturbing representation of the Starbucks logo. For lack of knowledge we are going to call her "Star".
"Star", one of the most recognized symbols on the planet, is a close up of a woman who looked like she was placing a crown on her head. Again I am not an expert so it could have always represented something else. However, in the classic black, white and green version it is unclear as to what she is doing. But for those of you who don't know it is a woman with long hair and a crown encapsulated by the Starbucks Coffee ring.
Now it has been two days and today is the second time this new logo has found its way onto my desk. The problem in this newer or maybe older version it is very clear as to what "Star" is doing. She is spreading her legs like a two bit hooker. Well that might be a stretch considering she may be a mermaid I guess, or maybe she is some sort of octopus. Maybe they are tree trunks. I guess that part is still unclear. And don't get me wrong there are some hookers out there who have legs I would kill for, but this new graphic art is disturbing when it is staring you in the face on your morning caffeine run.
Also, her bosom is much more pronounced than before, peaking out behind her long flowing locks. I digress... it is a more sexually explicit logo that again a coworker, who for lack of a better term is "squeaky clean", brought to my attention. Anyone out there notice the same thing?
If so, or you have any information to offer please comment. We want to know what the motivation is behind this somewhat troubling turn of events.
