It's no different than any other theme restaurant. Hooters' theme just happens to be breasts.


Yeah, keep telling yourself that.

I will, because I'm no prude. Also, tits.

Yes, the chain plays on the whole "Hooters/breasts" thing as a side joke, but if it weren't for the name and people's assumptions, you'd never notice or have an issue with the place. How is Hooters any more overtly sexual than any of a dozen burger chains that have waitresses in short skirts and roller skates?


Their pitch is 'come and stare at some tits'. That's how.

You seem to have convinced yourself that this is meaningless and that nothing can be less objectifying, and indeed that some things are definitely more so. That's interesting. But you are still an idiot.

I read all of your posts in this thread (for the first time in two years, well done), please don't bother reiterating them. I know I'm like Canute trying to hold back the sea, here, but you know. Consider this a formal objection to your next wall of text.

I think gbaji's poorly stated point was that if you're going to make an assumption about Hooters objectifying women and deny your child the opportunity to attend the event based on this assumption, then you should apply that restriction to any other venue which supposedly does the same, which is damn near impossible in today's world.

Or, there's such a thing as choosing your battles and saving your energy for the bigger fights or more egregious wrongs. Someone can rationally and sanely think that a restaurant whose entire theme is "Haha... tits!" is more deserving of their immediate concern than an attractive and professionally dressed woman working the front desk at the Hilton. It goes back into the "If you can't do everything, you have to do nothing or else you're a hypocrite" fallacy. If you think Hooters is wrong in how they objectify women, instructing your son about this when the topic comes up is a better use of your time than blindly running from department store to restaurant to corporate headquarters in a tizzy.

I've never been to a Hooters, but typically I'm not one much for chained dinner restaurants. They seem to lack freshness.

The whole 'hooter' thing is a gimmick. But it is a gimmick that plays off a woman's body part. So while I wouldn't care if my kid went, it seems like there could have been a better choice made by the bozo-headed parent.

I figure all Hooters is really good for is middle aged perverts who feel too guilty to go to a real strip joint. All the delicious food of McDonald's, combined with the sexiness of a trip to any mall, anywhere. ****, it's just an overglorified food court.

All of the restaurants I have been to in the last, let's say 3 months, have had the waiters, waitresses, and hostess wearing some sort of button up shirt/blouse and slacks. Usually in the color black.


You've never been to a Sonic? Smiley: frown


I worked at a Sonic for 5 or 6 years, off and on. Our uniform did not consist of short skirts.

They did roller skate to the cars a few times, but the skates weren't mandatory.


Must just be the choice of the local girls at the one near my house during the summer months.

You know, I think what I dislike the most about catwho is quite how undeserved her high opinion of herself is; it's pretty classic among liberals, I suppose, the kind of snobbery particular to someone who thinks of themselves as anything but a snob. If you don't know what I'm talking about, this sketch is a pretty spot on lampooning.

You know, she's kind of uncomfortable about her status. What bothers me here is the assumption she has any status to be uncomfortable about. I know you think you're ever so intelligent, capable etc etc - you're not. You're so disgustingly mediocre that if you ever realised the disjunction between reality and your self-perception you'd kill yourself in a heartbeat. It makes me SICK that you can draw breath on the same planet as me.

Just to be clear, this isn't a joke. You disgust me. Every time I'm reminded that you exist I want to take a wire brush to my skin, just to feel clean.

That's a specific you, by the by. Catwho, you're a worthless piece of **** and you didn't get what you deserved, because what you deserve is a lot worse. **** you.

I've got space AIDS.

It's like regular AIDS, only in space. No-one can hear you scream up here, did you know that?

Seriously though, I have space AIDS.

I mean, seriously, though, AIDS isn't a joking matter. And, frankly, since when has anything good been posted on this website, ever? I'm just perpetuating tradition. Kind of a national passtime, I suppose. Beats getting ****** up the **** for money, though. Get it, prostitution is legal in your country, that's the joke.

No, but seriously, I think you're underestimating how funny it is for me, personally, to make really ****** posts. It's really ******* funny. Also, **** you.

Okay, everyone's bored of me derailing this thread now. 'Now'. Let's all get back to talking about ****** ***** bars or whatever the ****.

Stop this rampant tomfoolery, we have to compose ourselves for the next rendition of gbaji's Views on Hooters. Pretty farcical, it'll take a lot of work.

Obviously, Kavekkk was a legend, and we'll never see his like again. That kind of greatness bled out of the world when catwho took her first gulp of air.

I'm assuming Gbaji's view on tits is the same as most straight men and I'd prefer not to think about that more than I have to.

Edit: Gbaji's view that is, not tits. I like thinking about tits.

Meh, I've been bullied by elementary school kids better than this.

3/10. Try harder next time.

You're too stupid to insult properly, unfortunately. A cutting insult requires some kind of self awareness on the part of the person being insulted. The truth hurts, but only if you're able to recognise it.

I rate your dissatisfaction with my post 2/10, hastening the collapse of the forum into a Kafkaesque maelstrom of bureaucracy. I rate you down, because nothing about you is excellent. And, finally, I rate the Eador multiplayer 0/5, because it doesn't ******* work.

Oh, and I'm nine, don't say that.
