Overheard
A radio announcer, doing a remote from the local Hooters (not local to Jackson, which doesn’t have a Hooters, but somewhere near Kalamazoo; I was traveling for work):
“Come out and have some famous Hooters hotwings! And of course there are Hooters girls everywhere. Just grab a beer and sit and stare at ‘em.”
I wasn’t sure if I hated him for so blantantly objectifying women as sexual objects (I know they choose to work there, but that’s a whole different argument for another time, so please don’t leave that in my comments unless you want to get into it (*Jason*)), or if I admired him for at least laying it out there and not pretending like it’s something other than exactly that.

HA! You know me too well. Hey, the girls get good tips, and they take advantage of dumb guys. I applaud them for that.

Women are objectified. Some girls like it (some don’t). Hell, I like it every once in a while too.
I’ll stop talking now.

How could anyone see Hooters for anything but good wholesome family fun.
Like this one time that I went to Hooters with a good friend of mine (who shall remain nameless for his own protection) and our waitress actually asked us if we wanted to see her hoola-hoop while she poured our beer. How is that objectifying women? She was just trying to put herself through college.
Now if I had kids with me and they didn’t enjoy that I would think that something is wrong with them. I mean, it’s a hot girl, hoola-hooping and pouring beer at the same time. What’s not to like.

Ed thank you for proving my point even if you and most others don’t see how.

*Dark family secret* That’s where my little cousin learned to hula hoop. We all thought him hul-hoopoing was adoreable, until we found out where he learned it…lol

Oh, Shannon…
I’ve never been into Hooter’s but I’m still right there with ya.
Have you ever seen The Man Show with their “Juggies”? Completely rediculous! Girls w/big boobs and about as smart as a box of rocks - or at least they pretended to be.
I had to work my way through college too but I did it with a respectable job. It is possible.
