SEATTLE, WA -- 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.
