Now Organization For Women Sues Hooters

[Dave]

In one of the sillier stories i've read of late, NOW is suing Hooters because they offer a childrens menu as well as having high chairs and bib's that say "future hooters girl". Apparently NOW hasn't gotten the memo that they are no longer relevant in the grand scheme of things. Whatever credibility they had was shot during the California governors race where there was a woman running for governor and was called a whore by someone in the opposing campaign and still NOW supported the male running. Anyway, NOW needs to grow up and stop wasting their supporters money on stupid lawsuits.

 

NOW Sues Hooters

Our love of Hooters girls is well documented, but alas, not even the siren song of wings can convince the National Organization for Women.

They seem to think bibs that say "Future Hooters Girl" are somehow bad for children.

The women's rights org filed complaints against the restaurant chain for
catering to kids despite the fact that the establishments located in
San Francisco, San Bruno, Sacramento and Orange County are classified as
"adult entertainment" places.

Hooters also has children's menus, high chairs and booster seats, which would be available at family-friendly restaurants, the San Francisco Chronicle
reported. And promoting itself as a "family-style" eatery violates
state and local laws that prohibit sexually oriented adult businesses
from serving minors.

While Hooters reveals
that "10 percent of the parties we serve have children in them," it also
says that the restaurant doesn't promote themselves to families but
serve "all customers, including children."

Even though NOW does have a point, what if these kids just love bleu cheese?

I think it's Tony's in Birch Run. Before a lot of chain restaurants sprung up around there, there used to be a wait for a table with a line out the door.

Tony's sounds familiar. Thanks Mary A. when I come back to Michigan next week I'm going to try and get there.

Just be sure to order from their "healthy" menu, Lisa. LOL

This last year, I ate at a Hooter's, down near Chicago for the first time, when I was invited by a lady to eat there.  It has some overpriced food, but the ambiance of pretty women and sports themes deflect your attention away from that.  The outfits are well within community standards of decency, as noted by others.

The restaurant obviously caters to the masculine with their focus on sports and attractive women in the trademark outfit, which really is nothing very different than what Richard Simmons wears while exercising. 

I think I would lose a bit of my appetite though, if Mr. Simmons was my waiter.  I see nothing wrong with a young girl baby wearing a bib that says "Future Hooter's Girl" anymore than I see anything wrong with a young boy baby wearing a bib that says "Future Chippendale's Dancer". 

Our society, which seems to be having an epidemic of obesity among its youths, and should promote more the concepts of sports and healthy bodies.  If they're seeking a healthy diet, they may need to look beyond the Hooter's main menu, however.  NOW is, and has been irrelevant since the Clinton Administration exposed their hypocrisy.

Appetizing picture, and in good taste too methinks.

I had to check this out.  Here's a link:

The news video makes it look to me that this is just the overhyped workings of a frustrated NAG regional president.  Is this what the biggest problem is in the San Francisco area?  Some libbies think so.  I never ate at a Hooters but this story makes me want to go there with the family.

The Hooters by Muskegon's newer south malls is now closed. And btw, I went there when they were open a few years back for wings. The wings were exceptionally good, and overly expensive for the money, the girls, well, they did not impress me for Hooters at all. They were bland and plain to say the least, a disappointment from other Hooters I have gone to. Probably why they closed, plus they were out of the mainstream of traffic. The picture X posted, is an unusually infrequent one of what you actually see at any local  restaurant, it's a "put up photo" for the website or advertising publicity that does not measure up to the actual sites in reality. But, it's good advertising, and that's what businesses always want to cater to, impress.

methinks there is so much pressure from the feminitpickers on hooters that they need a quota of plain janes so as not to be offending the not now dragons of now.  ive went to the gd rapids hooters three times and god must have forsaken me as i always have the homeliest big boned one of the bunch.  with apologies to you homely big boned lassies who read this and shoot daggers back through the screen at me.  still twas fun the food was good the sports on the big screens were awesome and twas a friendly pooch that served up the goods.
