Starbucks goes topless


Posted at 12:01 am by Doug Parry, Herald staff

More breasts with your coffee: A Christian group is accusing Starbucks of sexing things up with its retro logo. The group says the image of a bare-breasted mermaid "looks like a prostitute."

People are already fired up about the amount of skin they're seeing from baristas, but Starbucks just had to go and take it one step too far. It could have at least put a bikini top or pasties on the mermaid.

Caladesi Island State Park in Florida has been named the nation's best beach. At least it was the best until the stampede of tourists that's coming after the news leaked out.

Caladesi is like most beaches, in that you can see lots of people dressed like every kind of barista. But if you want to see people dressed like mermaids, you've got to got to Miami's South Beach.

If you're doing your beach gawking closer to home this year, you're not the only one. Lots of Americans are kicking back at home this summer for a "staycation."

It's just like the vacations we had when we were kids: Dad in a giant mouse suit, putting a slide in the back yard and telling us it was Disneyland. Ah, good times.
