Starbucks logo under fire: shows partially covered breasts

The new retro logo at Starbucks is stirring controversy. The logo shows a mermaid with partially-covered breasts.

A Christian group based in San Diego called The Resistance says the logo looks like a naked woman with her legs spread like a prostitute.

The Resistance is calling for a national boycott of Starbucks.

Starbucks says the logo is appropriate. It'll be around for a few weeks.

The logo is based on a 16th century Norse woodcut of a two-tailed mermaid.
