Because they behave like they were dropped on their heads as children. Repeatedly.
In order to compete with less expensive varieties of coffee, Starbucks recently introduced a new roast in order “to shift toward emphasizing brewed coffee.” As part of the campaign, the Seattle-based company re-introduced its 1971 brown-and-white logo that features a two-tailed mermaid. Apparently, the mermaid has caused an uproar because one Christian group has now called for a Starbucks boycott:
“The Starbucks logo has a naked woman on it with her legs spread like a prostitute,” explains alarmist Mark Dice, of a Christian group called The Resistance. “Need I say more? It’s extremely poor taste, and the company might as well call themselves Slutbucks.“
Jen Phillips at MoJo blog notes, “The fact that Dice doesn’t get the difference between a fin and a foot may be an example of what abstinence-only funding does to education.”
And the oh-so-offensive logo in question?
I’m going back to bed.

Followed a few of those links, looks like this Mark Dice guy is a class-A nutter. 9-11 and Illuminati conspiracy theories are the least of it, it seems.
They better not apply for a tax credit. They'd never pass those Bill C-10 censors.
Oh wait! They're American.
Damned fish sluts!
LOL, who else but a fundie could look at that logo and see something drrrrrty? I've never seen a group of people so completely and totally obsessed with sex. I wonder if they put curtains around the legs of their pianos too.
