Not quite as sneaky as getting players of Mafia Wars on Facebook to fill out surveys against health care reform, but definitely astroturfing.

Hooters, Inc. is just a standard fixture of the sprawling McMansion/SUV/Shopping Mall/freeway/big box/plastic food-at-every-exit culurally eviscerated Atlanta area where thay are headquartered and emulated throughtout the US.

They are very typicial of the US business community.

Ah yes, the USCofC. Who supports these Fifth Columnists? The Neo-Cons for sure but who else?

Why would any company besides a health insurance company join the chamber of horrors? Their attempt at killing health care reform in order to enrich the health insurance companies is going to hurt any company that provides health care to its employees. Aren't these companies capable of acting in their own best interests?

This support of the health insurance industry at all costs thing is getting so crazy I would have thought it would have collapsed under the weight of it's own stupidity.

This is just an extention of the GOP "Die Quckly" health plan.

Beer, fired wings and diseased skanks should help you along.

There is only one common sense answer to that question. It's called SINGLE PAYER.

Now where's my certificate?

Truly a defining paradigm of america:

Fake tits

Fake smiles(that grow with the amount of money given them)

Fake faces

Minds as open and empty as the vast voids of space.

After having a daughter I hate woman like the ones at hooters and most woman's magazines for that matter.

And their wings are terrible.

I am appalled at some (most) of these comments. Just what gives anyone the right to judge these women? Do you think they LIKE what they have to do to make a living? Of course their smiles are fake - what do you want - a real smile from someone with a low-pay and pretty degrading job?

Do you think women enjoy playing dumb? That they like being ogled and forced to act "sexy" in order to get tips so they can bring their pay up to (maybe) minimum wage?

I know a woman (actually she's my step-grandniece twice regrooved - or something like that) who worked in a similar place to pay off loans for her advanced degree in microbiology. I don't think she struck up many conversations about recombinant DNA with men who were dumb enough to believe even the smile.

The posts here insult those who are clearly victims. This is very disappointing. I
suggest that people grab the $150.00, take a group out for dinner, and leave exactly that amount for the waitress. She is your sister.

ron,

I have waited tables, bartended in places more socially perverted than hooters and when I detect a woman has enhanced her body for better tips instead of something like radical breast surgery to fight cancer, I just figure she doesn't give a 'hoot' about her natural self and there are, believe it or not, plenty of females around that really believe money is everything and the hell with anything else, but I believe that there are more women that have a real concern about what is a real life but what the hooters corporation is doing, besides taking women who work for them down to a lower denominator, is to give them a false sense of priority of life and society.

And there is the judgmental aspect of seeing a attractive female that makes me want to date her until she opens her mouth and hear the echo of emptiness in what she says and thinks that can tend to be a big turnoff.
