5/22/2004: Little Miss Hooters

Undertoad · 05-22-2004, 11:17 AM

Presented WITH bias, and with intent to enflame is this finding from Stacy Tabb (Sekimori).

I am pretty hard to shock, and would let consenting adults do pretty much whatever they want, and get pretty tired of the "anything for the children" drone in society, but this is where it goes too far: this "Little Miss Hooters" contest was intended for 5 and unders, to be dressed in the same costume as their adult-ish Hooters waitresses, including spandex shorts and tied-up T-shirt.

(It was cancelled by Hooters national office - it was the work of a lone manager.)

do you remember the contest they had where they tricked the contestants into thinking they were giving some cool prize like anew car, but through a nasty play on words, they......oh yeah!

they offered a new toyota...but when the girl won, they gave her a new toy yoda. too funny....anyone know if they had to give her a toyota?

Waitaminnit ... Hooters has ethical standards? That's more a sign of the coming apocalypse than the contest!

please. The only difference between Hooter's and Chili's is that Hooter's is public with their hiring practices.

They could win the JonBenet Ramsey trophy.

Any activity that keeps kids off drugs is probably OK.

But this isn't one of them.

To the contrary, mandatory Prozac and Ritalin for all.

Darn right they do. You don't do something like this without arranging for a cut for upper management.

It's a good thing that size matters not, because that light saber is as big as Yoda!

I was resisting the urge to speculate whether it was a lightsaber or... well... you know...

And that Toyota gag..even dumber.

That is one skanky looking waitress, even for Hooters ...

I'm not a lawyer, and I don't play one on TV, but unless the prize conditions were put in writing as "Toyota" instead of ToyYoda, her misunderstanding/misinterpretation should not have constituted damages. If the restaurant manager, however, implied that an automotive prize was involved, yeah, I'd agree that she should win a settlement, but no more than attorney's fees, court costs, and the price of a new vehicle, base model. Winner to pay applicable taxes, titles, transfers, and insurance, just like on a game show.
