    Mind Blowing Hooters targets your Husband




    I'm sorta confused here.

    First of all, who is walking around with a wedding album or marriage certificate?

    What sort of guy brings a marriage certificate to a chicken restaurant?

    Why would a guy want to show a cute bubbly piece of eye candy (aka the hooters waitress) proof that he is married?

    Why should someone who is married for longer get a greater discount?

    Why is this ad targeting HUSBANDS ONLY???? Don't women like wings? I've eaten there.... but I'm not married so no discount for me.



    So weird.... possibly even discriminatory! Since it excludes single/divorced/widowed people. It also excludes people who cannot get married (homosexuals) and even gay folks joined in civil unions. But above all.... it excludes chicks... I mean wives.

    Just kidding about all the politically correct crap ^^^^.

    I'm inclined to think that this promotion is a joke. If it is not, who ever hatched (pun intended) this scheme should be demoted to the mail room of the ad agency for all eternity.

    Full story here.

    Hahah.. Welll the wife/SO can come along with their hubbies and get a discount.

    I doubt its a joke, 10% isnt that much.. and Im sure it has little details such as, your bill has to be over X and these papers to ensure you get a discount.

    I agree with you on how they are lossing other customers.

    Wow this is like saying hey be married and visually cheat! I think they feel the guy that has been married the longest will probably spend more money there especially on tips.

    I don't think I've ever been to a Hooters but I hear the hot wings are great!

    Perhaps the chain is somehow or other involved in the story of the movie. Its a Farrelly Bros. movie. They did Dumb and Dumber and There's Something About Mary and it involves a couple of husbands being allowed by their wives to cheat. Maybe they spend time at Hooters trying to do exactly that in the movie.

    You'd thin they couldn't botch it but hooters wings suck. Their seafood is frozen and farm (aquarium) raised blandness. I was very disappointed.

    +1 I find their food crappy and overpriced. The girls are hit or miss, and I consider the atmosphere close to intolerable. I have to be dragged.

    How they exist is beyond me...

    It's stupid to be honest. I once went into apply at a Hooters and was astounded by the ugly waitresses there. It should been called Baggies (as in bag your face). Or maybe they were called saggies because lots of old fat women there too. I ended up not applying there.

    Wouldn't a bunch of "baggies" help the good looking ones get more tips?

    I didn't think of that I was thinking more along the lines that they needed to wear bags over their heads.

    x10. Ive been dragged in there with a group at lunch or after work and I am astounded at the people in there on dates and with kids. I would hope that any girl I was dating would call me an idiot for suggesting to go there.

    I can't eat in a restaurant with a logo like that, or the fucking tacky innuendo inherent in the name. I'd probably rather eat in a restaurant named 'TITS', with a big pair of tits for a logo. On second thought, probably not.

    The uniforms look stupid, too.


    But yeah, the ad campaign was created by a loser, and is aimed at losers. Life in the USA can be strange at times.


    What movie is it associated with, exactly??

    I don't really find the promotion offensive or anything...just sort of desperate and sad. Poor little restaurant...they're trying soooo hard to keep their reputation as risque, and the reality is that restaurant has long since stopped being suggestive or naughty. They have shitty overpriced food and their waitresses are rarely attractive. And in this day and age, they no longer have the shock factor. I don't know, maybe in some areas it's still a hot button for people, but the one up here went out of business because no one ever went there. And it was in one of THE busiest malls in upstate NY.

    Default Food??

    Who the heck goes to Hooters for the food? Can't even call it mediocre.

    You go for the scenery (at least I do)! And the brews.

    Girls can be hit or miss. Generally best in their home state of Florida.

    Though, one of the hottest girls by far I've met in recent months was my Hooters waitress a couple months back in Harrisburg, PA of all places! Did she ever fill out that uniform...yowzaa! Sweetheart to boot.

    The food is terrible... the only time they seem busy is nights that they show ppv.
    Actually... what I've noticed at the one that's by the mall entrance I always walk by... is that a lot of their customers seem to be moderately overweight women around 20 or so surrounded by pervy looking old men buying them drinks..
