Sporty and sexy, La Resistance lives on

The Resistance is a fundamentalist Christian group in the news for its attack on the revived classic Starbucks mermaid logo:

The Starbucks logo has a naked woman on it with her legs spread like a prostitute, explains Mark Dice, founder of the group. Need I say more? It's extremely poor taste, and the company might as well call themselves, Slutbucks.

The all-brown logo is a replica of the one the chain used when it opened its first store in Pike Place in Seattle in 1971. The woman is actually a siren, not a mermaid, which in Greek mythology lures people to them with their beautiful songs, and then kills them, explains Dice.

The Resistance . . . also demanded that Duke University change the name of their Blue Devils sports team to something not offensive to the Christian community.

If this rigorous standard of moral purity appeals to you, you might not want to purchase this official The Resistance tank top from the group's Cafe Press shop. After all, it's bringing sexy back!
