Ladies Who Lunch (at Hooters): The "Breastaurant" Chain Targets Women

Social Commentary post by Kelsey Wallace on September 17, 2012 - 12:11pm; tagged breastaurants, business, Hooters.

Last month, Hooters launched a creepy ad campaign with the hopes of attracting women to its "delightfully tacky yet unrefined" chain of restaurants. Wondering how a "breastaurant" with a boob euphemism for a name plans on making women feel right at home? Yeah, same here.

Douchebag Decree: Don't Let Chick-fil-A Distract You From the Douchiness that is the Latest Hooters Campaign

Douchebag Decree post by Kelsey Wallace on August 2, 2012 - 12:24pm; tagged breastaurants, Douchebag Decree, Hooters, sexist advertising.

The new Hooters campaign features two owl puppets—a devil and an angel—meant to represent the internal conflict many customers face when eating fried food at what is basically the world's least gratifying strip club. On the one hand, you consider yourself a nice person, but on the other hand, you want to objectify women while you eat lunch! What to do???
