New Hooters Campaign Kind of a Clever Ploy

Hooters Ad for Married Men

Let me just say that Hooters is taking its cold war with fidelity to a whole ‘nother level!

Okay, there’s very little argument that the main reason to hit up Hooters involves wings.  If my male friends are any indication, getting a pic with a big-breasted Hooters girl is kind of a rite of passage.  Plus, their wings are mediocre at best.

But back to the point, which is that a New York City Hooters restaurant is bringing the fight home … and directly to the wedding bed.

Mother Dies Avenging Daughter Murdered in Ciudad Juarez

Despite Estee Lauder’s evident view to the contrary, Ciudad Juarez is arguably Mexico’s darkest blot, a place where women walk violence-riddled streets to work ridiculous hours in sweatshops.  And now the mother of a woman whose daughter succumbed to this city of blood, drugs, rape, and horror, has turned up dead herself after a two year war to avenge her daughter’s death.

My mother and I had kind of an interesting conversation about just what Nancy Pelosi’s done that’s so bad and came up with a list no more or less glaring than any other politician’s.

Perhaps the only bright point of the recent deplorable head-stomping incident at the recent debate between Rand Paul and Jack Conway is that it has perhaps started to open the eyes of sane and normal Americans to how truly dangerous some of the Tea Partiers really are.

You see, it turns out this was not an isolated incident, with an October 15th attack on a protester at a Washington State Tea Party stalwart’s headquarters flying beneath the radar until Lauren Valle’s unspeakable treatment at the hands of a bunch of nuts in Kentucky.

You know, the Tea Party was kind of funny to me for a long time. The sheer ignorance existing within their ranks just has …
