Seki’s wrath is nothing to be sneezed at, as I hope the owners and managers of her local Hooters<\/a> soon find out.<\/p>\n

The sign on the verge advertising the Little Miss Hooters contest is, however, beyond the pale. We called this evening, asked for details. The contest is for girls 5 and under, and will require they be dressed in little orange spandex shorts, and a tied up Hooters t-shirt.
\nThe cretin who thought up this little sideshow should be hung by his\/her heels from the nearest tree, beaten with sawgrass whips, then covered with sugar water and fire ants. My displeasure has been expressed to the local news outlets and will shortly be expressed directly to whatever corporate suits I can get my hands on. This is utterly fucking disgusting.
\nThese morons are so fond of billing Hooters as a family restaurant. One wonders if they’ve ever bothered dining there themselves.<\/p>\n

Indeed. <\/p>\n

I have a distinct dislike for child beauty pageants in general (and did even before the creepiness of the JonBenet Ramsey case<\/a> — and she was freakin’ 6<\/i>), but the idea of dressing up 5-and-unders (that includes Katherine, you sick bastards)<\/i> to look like your shucks-all-in-good-fun titty girls is vile enough to turn my stomach.<\/p>\n

I’ve occasionally gone to Hooters <\/a>while on business trips — never comfortably (though the food and drink and, yes, scenery were decent enough) because there as kind of a salacious nudge-and-wink from the other business travellers that this was some sort of big, dirty fun. But I have no hesitation about making that “occasionally” into a “never again,” and explaining to my colleagues exactly why, when it gets suggested. Unless I hear some very real evidence that heads have not only rolled at this particular outlet, but been put up on pikes and marched around town.<\/p>\n

Bastards.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
