"Immature" Logo?

Hey guys. I just wanted some feedback on this somewhat rough logo I created. It's for a website dedicated to comedy and satire, the tone and content of which ranges from vitriolic banter to cynical analysis.

Anyway, it was met with mostly positive reviews from the staff, but there was concern the "alternating caps" gives a feeling of immaturity. To quote, "What the fuck are we, 12?" Hahaha! Anyway, I personally felt it worked since the height of the letters remains in a consistent ballpark, and also considering the nature of the site.

To make a long story short, there was concern it felt like this: EaT ThE LEfTOvErS

Thoughts?

Hand what...?

What's the concept behind using lower + upper... doesn't seem to add a lot to the execution for me? Lose it.

There are much smarter alternatives available if you want to mix upper and lower case.

You might want to check the end of "The Bee Movie" too. They have used the alternating upper and lower case concept rather well the movie itself was shite tho. Dont ask why I watched it.
