Yet They Advertise As One and Parents Actually Take Kids There!
Hooters is not a family Restaurant
Hooters should not advertise themselves as a family restaurant. I have heard many radio advertisements that do just that. First they talk about all the sexy girls, then its, "a great place for the whole family".
However, this monkey Brain is not about what Hooters should do. This is about the Monkey Brained parents to take their kids for family nights out to Hooters. Its about the Monkey Brained coaches and parents who take Little League teams there for celebrations.
Today's kids are being exposed to sex earlier and earlier. Part of it is the media and entertainment, computer exposure and so many other things. But a lot of it is Monkey Brained parents who don't know how to parent!

Well, and if you disagree with me, get this book and read the title essay. This author had a terrible time finding decent clothing for her six year old daughter because everything she saw looked like a skankier version of Britney Spears. For six year olds!
Taking Kids to Hooters Is Bad Parenting!
What is it with these people? Do they think that teaching girls that these bimbos are role models and teaching boys that this was what girls are about is a good thing? Are they too cheap to get a baby sitter? What is the deal?
Hooters is not a family Restaurant and Taking Kids There Is Stupid
Fetching blurbs now... please stand byYes, you're right!
Sandy says:
Well, if it is cheap (which I doubt since it costs a lot to take a family of 4 to a restaurant these days), these bird brainless wonders need an lobotomy. Maybe they think if they throw "inappropriate sex" at children they will be come immune to it.

I would never take a child into Hooters. I have never been there myself and refuse to go there. I feel that an establishment like this is degrading to women.

Yeah, I think that there are better and more respectful male bonding experiences than hooters for boys and fathers. Also seeing me not get waited on and totally ignored by a waitress isn't really kid or anyone else friendly lol. I want my boys to know how to respect women and both girls and boys to know to respect women. It's my job as a parent to raise my children, not be worried if the employee's are working their way through school. Notice next time you go in there any managers, female or male, wear pants, not the hideous outfits. That's because no one respects someone that doesn't respect themselves.

Now I just looked at your next topic. All you have to do is look straight ahead, eye level, to know that "hooters" does not refer to an owl.

This seems so obvious to me that I doubt you'll get much of a debate going on. On the other hand, I've never been in Hooters, so I had no idea it was filled with anything but a bunch of guys and their girlfriends "warming up" for their date. I remember when I heard of "A" place called Hooters. then all of a sudden they were all over the place. And i even heard of "A" couple I knew who would go there. THEN I hear of two of my nieces who were working their way through college waitressing - why??? BIG TIPS!! (yes, tits too)
I am sure that this is only BAD with a capital B A D for kids who will someday have to grow up and take care of kids themselves.
My memory tells me that it all started with cable TV where you could see nudity on HBO, and then the internet. Kids see more nudity than I do these days!

The bitterness and resentment presented in your comments would have us believe that you are going through a midlife crises and are a bit jealous! Maybe you haven't been to a beach in the last 30 years but the females wear less there than they do at Hooters! Go visit your local Hooters establishment so you can see how far off this article is. Order the nachos and tell them I sent you :) Enjoy!

You guys are idiots. I used to work there and I worked my way through college. Now with a career and a degree, I still don't regret a minute of working there. Wake up and visit an establishment before you judge it.

I am guessing that you haven't actually ever been to a Hooters before. What exactly are children learning about sex when they go there? Hooters girls are waitresses, that's all. I have been to many Hooters all over the country. I go, because the foods good, I get to watch sports, the beer is cold, and the waitresses are pretty. A tank-top and shorts are hardly an assault on the worlds morality. Kids see more than that at the beach, and on the TV everyday. And I wouldn't call the hooters girls bimbos either. Many that I saw frequently, were putting themselves through University with that job. Lighten up Myrtle, they're just chicken wings!!!

HELP ME PROVE MY POINT
If you agree, add links (proof!) that help me make my case
One link is Hooters telling us why the name isn't about a slang word for breasts. They have an owl for a logo after all. Do they think we are stupid?
But they have a kids menu, because parents take kids. Its the parents, I tell you.

Well, this lady disagrees with me on her blog. She complains that there is no 'male candy', but its a fine place for the kids. And of course someone who takes the kids to Vegas likes it to. Its less sexy than most!
Good grief, am I just an old prude? I don't think so.

Some Parents Are Idiots!
" Yes, Hooters is a family restaurant. The food is decent and reasonably priced. Although alcohol is served, I trust the waitresses would not serve alcohol to an underage student! The waitresses are fully dressed and stay that way if that is her concern! My family (with 2 kids ages 10 and 12) go there all the time! We love the wings!!!
Good Luck~"

a 5 year old texas boy escapes day care to go to hooters DENTON, Texas -- Denton police say a child was able to sneak out of his day-care center without anyone noticing and take a perilous walk that ended at a Hooters restaurant. The 5-year-old boy reportedly walked out of the Imagination Station day care in the 2300 block of San Jacinto Boulevard on Tuesday afternoon. Police said he walked a long way in 100-degree heat crossing at least two busy streets. He went to a Pep Boys, where he swiped some gum, according to a store worker. The boy then hiked to a RaceTrac gas station where he stole a soda, according to investigators. His walk then led to a Hooters restaurant where employees gave him a coloring book and soda pop to drink and called police. The child was not hurt and he was released to his father. Imagination Station would not comment on the situation. According to the Department of Family and Protective Services, the day care has had several violations including one in April in which inspectors determined that staff was not properly supervising the children. The state agency is now investigating this case. watch movies online http://www.moviesloot.com/visit-366.html

I mean it is called Hooters... If I were younger and I were in your situation I would say that a lot of baseball teams (little league) go there for parties so you didn't consider going there a bad thing. I know a lot of teams (with families) did when I was younger. Good luck!"

- Unfortunately, many restaurants require women to dress in ways that seem less than reasonable to me. We have a local one here in Ottawa where the ladies all wear low cut tight black t-shirts. Some of them clearly are as uncomfortable as they make me feel. They do, after all, spend their working hours leaning over customers serving them food...I don't think it appropriate for them to be scantily dressed.
Your discussion is very well put together & blessed.

- Interesting debate, I think parents should recognize that no matter how the world changes, they are responsible to set the example for their children. Children learn and accept as normal what they live. Children are overexposed to suggestive things and growing up to fast. Strength & beauty come from within, not from the showing of skin.

My Bio
For Arrowsmith Printing 9/22/08
I was born into a small business, I believe that small business and entrepreneurs are the backbone of America and what has made us great. They are what made us great and will save us in these unsure times. I have never wanted to have a great job. Well, better a great one, than a boring dead end one, and I have had both. But I have never really wanted a job at all.
Don't get me wrong, I am a hard worker. I have worked a full-time job, a part time job and a private practice all at the same time for a lot of years in my past. It isn't the work, its the working for someone else. Never wanted to do that, and I don't understand those who want to do that.
When I was six months old my parents bought their first small town weekly newspaper in Iowa. This was back in the day, back when small town newspapers were not just advertising sheets. Perhaps there are still some of them that are real, I hope so.
So I came by this perverse nature naturally. My path to self employment has been different than theirs, but it has always been my path, my direction.
Growing up in Iowa, in the fifties, I also grew up politically conservative. By the time I was 30 I was radically left. Today? I am proudly liberal and what that means will be clearer as we progress.
However, I have had conflicts about 'taking advantage of people'. I now know that employing people is not automatically taking advantage of them, but it took a while for me to learn that nothing is intrinsically good or bad. Well, almost nothing.
I have educated myself in business, I have a small business and I have used EFT and other energy clearing methods to help me clarify the old conflicts and move forward.
My mission here is to provide a forum for people who want to work independently through one person businesses or through employing others and for whom the betterment of human kind is an important value. My lenses are about offering good products, teaching people about betting their lives, and using the money they make for their pleasure and the benefit of others.
That is how I see business and if you have a similar vision I invite you to my blog www.creatingbusinessenergy.com
