So a guy opens a coffee shop with the name Bad Ass Coffee. As you might expect, some people are upset at the vulgarity. Those people have a point. However, they proceed to go off the deep end, thereby losing support from most rational people. Excerpt:

They aren't buying the explanation that the Bad Ass Coffee Co. chain takes its name from the lovable-looking beasts used to haul beans in Hawaii.

"We're not promoting any body part," Liotta, a Lindenhurst resident whose franchise will be the first in the Chicago area, said Tuesday. "It is about the donkeys," which are featured on the company's signs.

But Marion Rush, who is leading a petition drive against the shop, isn't swallowing that argument.

"I'd be upset if someone came up to my child and said `badass,'" Rush said. "I would be upset if my daughter used the word `badass'."

On Monday, the Antioch Village Board agreed, passing a resolution condemning the name and likening it to a sort of moral apocalypse.

Moral apocalypse? Right.
