Who Knew!

As if you didn't already know, lawyers for Hooters confirm they are in the sexploitation business:

"They are employed to entice and entertain. Their uniforms are designed to tempt and titillate . . . and the Hooter Girls enhance the titillation by their interaction with customers," a Hooters lawyer wrote the federal Equal Employment Opportunity Commission. "In short, the Hooter Girls are the attraction, and the entertainment is the business."​

This is from an Orlando Sentinel article (free registration required) about a Hooter's lawsuit against a competitor. Hooters claims that their competitor, WingHouse, stole their idea of scantily clad women serving wings and beer to losers.

According to the article, Hooters SVP Michael McNeil said in a deposition that they are facing more and more competition from sports bars such as "Melons, Show-Me's, Bazookas, and Mugs 'n Jugs," or "breastaurants" as they are called in the trade. Hooters is claiming "trade dress infringement" and seeks to protect the "proprietary elements" of its "extraordinarily tactile environment."

not much...I took alot of ridicule from some of my male coworkers when I nixed their suggestion we go to hooters for my birthday. Lord knows I like the wimmens, but that's just stupid.

My only experience with Hooters is eating lunch in their parking lot the day after Hurricane Isabel because they were one of the only places that had power, but they didn't have any water, so it was a health violation for us to eat inside. The cheese steak i had was pretty good. A huge weird bug landed on my arm, though, and when I swatted it, half of its remains stuck to my skin.

I thought that day was the apocalpyse, the only place open to eat was Hooters. I took a girl to dinner at Hooters once, but it was more for the humour factor. She was an Ultra-christian, so I wanted to mess with her.
