Mermaids, Aliens, Sirens, B-Grade Coffee and Adult Swimmers?

Watching The Watchmen

I've noticed a lot of posts and podcasts this week mentioning the Starbucks mermaid/siren logo all worth a read of, or a listen to.

Michael Garfield makes the comment about Starbucks making the mermaid logo gender neutral in his current podcast - 

FUTURE FOSSILS #56 – SOPHIA ROKHLIN

Michael has even interviewed an adult swimmer/mermaid in a past podcast at his 'Future Fossils' podcast site -

FUTURE FOSSILS 48 – LINDSAY LOFTIN (MERMAIDS FOR CLEAN WATER)

Daisaku Ikeda?

Chris Knowles has written a number of thought-provoking posts at his 'The Secret Sun' blog like his recent one pictured above -
Mermaid Apocalypse: Social Engineering through Memetic Overkill

And Andrew W. Griffin has written another thought-provoking post about aliens/mermaids/sirens at The Red Dirt Report titled -
Fairy tales and mermaid tails: Cascading through our consciousness

Is something dark welling up from the collective unconsciousness besides black coffee?
