I can think of more offensive things. I can think of more offensive things at Starbucks. Anybody who finds that cup of coffee to be erotic has bigger problems than it being on a coffee cup.

@ Drew's house tonight . . .Category: religion
My church is experimenting with gathering in each other's homes. Every Thursday night, during April and May, a few of us (about 10) are getting together, to eat and drink together, have a discussion about a piece of scripture, talk about what's going on in our lives, and (for those that are comfortable with it) pray for each other.
You don't have to believe anything in particular to be there. Everybody promises, at the outset, to respect each other.
It starts at 7, and we make sure we finish before 8:30.
My street address is in the chatter, or if that goes away, you can email me.

EVA needs volunteersCategory: eva
I know not everybody likes them, but every day I am concluding more and more that they are a force for good.
Next week they are having their fund raising party. They still need some volunteers to do easy things like pass out nametags and watch the auction items (I will be showing people where to park/cleaning up, if you want to join me).
Even if you don't like what they do, they are a small organization, and one volunteer's opinion will be heard. You can help the EVA become what it should be.
And I know. I am still not posting for real. I better stop this or nobody will read my blog anymore.

Founder of Mother's Day tried to end it.Interesting story:

That is a pretty interesting story about mothers day. I guess you can't really blame the Flower places to much. Often when people do things for profit they only think about the profit and not the profit and doing things the right way or keeping the meaning of it. I don't think cards are really that bad if they can convey the same thing that you wanted to say. But even if No one bought cards and made there own then everyone who does mothers day would have to buy the stuff to make the cards. In any event she sounds like a pretty tough lady and very interesting.

Here is the thing it does not offend me. But that being said I can see why it would. You have some over weight chick with legs spreed and her boobs showing. But what should be the thing that makes them more angry is that she is a siren, I would think that being a siren is a concept of spirtuality that is not of their belief system. Oh if you ever want to see a hot movie about sex that shows a lot of boobs go see Sirens old movie with Hugh Grant and some famous model naked as one of the sirens. Back to the coffee I think the covering of the boobs is more offensive. The reason being is if the boobs are out you can say it is artsy and a throw back to the old days when heavy girls where considered hot and thin was thought of as being sick. But when the boobs are covered it is like a tease. It is kinda like see you can't see nipples so they don't count as naked boobs. I think it is ok myself but don't know as I would want my young kid there.
woohoo.... 3000 right wing religious conspiracy theorists are going to boycott starbucks. I bet they're quaking in their boots.
It's retarded if you ask me. A total non-issue. Bah.
oh yeah: like when John Ashcroft covered the breast of justice with a curtain?

Don't forget the purple Teletubby controversy!
This is just plain ignorant. This graphic, as the article states, is actually a toned down version of the 1st and original logo Starbucks used. You can go to the Starbucks at Pike Place Market in Seattle and see the original logo on the window. For the throwback logo they actually altered it to cover the mermaid's breasts.
As an aside, these social puritans are exactly why I left the Republican Party. They number too many in the GOP for me.
My god! People will be masturbating in the streets!
