God Bless America: Hooters Girls Pay Tribute To 9/11 Victims

video
» 30 comments

In the past few weeks, as the tenth anniversary of 9/11 drew nearer and then arrived, we’ve shared a number of different tributes to all that we lost on that day, tributes that were clever, heartfelt, and heartbreaking. But, now that we’re in a post 9/11 (2011) world, we can focus on some of the other, lesser tribute. Tributes like this one in which a group of Hooters Girls honor the fallen.

Now, I know some people will make fun of this video and, preparing for this post, I almost did this as well. However, the more I thought about, the more it reminded me of just how great this country is.

“God bless America,” say the women early on and they’re right. God bless a nation that allows us to go to restaurants filled with barely dressed 19-year-olds and pretend we’re there for the wings even though we all know we could get much better wings at the family-owned pizzeria down the street. America’s enemies can’t do that and that’s part of the reason they hate us. If more people on this planet got to relax after a long day by watching Hooters Girls do hula hoop floor shows, there’d be less wars.

So thank you, Hooters Girls. May you continue to bring enjoyment to many. May you continue to pretend to laugh at your customer’s jokes. And may your flesh-colored stockings keep your legs warm as the days grow cold and your orange shorts soar forever higher. Bless you, for you make me proud to call this country home.

However, that still doesn’t mean I’m going to you for my buffalo wings. I’m an American. Some things are sacred.

    imagine the mind of someone who would eat at this shit hole

    I’m trying to imagine the mind of someone who WOULDN’T want to knock
    back a few tall ones and some hot wings while watching football with his
    buddies and being waited on by a cute girl in tight orange shorts. Keep
    your nose that high in the air all the time and you can miss out on a
    lot of simple pleasures.

    Totally figures that YOU would be someone to make a disparaging comment about Hooter’s.  Don’t like the place, don’t go there, pretty damn simple.  But what gives you the right to make a comment, critical of anyone who would CHOOSE to?  Your thinking is so typical of the liberal loon.  YOU wouldn’t do it therefore anyone else who WOULD must have something wrong with them – something which clearly needs to be corrected.

    As Bo Darville would say: “Do the letters F.O. mean anything to you?

    Little editing note: It should be “fewer wars” not “less wars.”

    Why do you call it that? I’ve never eaten there, but how do you know it’s a shit hole?

  • Joepalooka

    offsets the argument that they ‘can’t complete a sentence’! (just having fun — actually a nice job girls!)

  • http://pulse.yahoo.com/_VYUK3HIJFCPFBZUHRHN6HCR5AA MarkfromSavannah

    That’s alright Phil.  He/She’s probably never been there before either.  It’s just the blatant sexism that the place represents!!

  • Nature Freak

    Apparently America’s enemies hate us because they do not have access to breast implants. Or orange hot pants.

    It all makes sense.

    I was at a Hooters a year and a half ago. The wings were OK. Had better but had a lot worse.
    If people want to watch some football while eating wings at Hooters and being served by 19 year olds (seems more like age 21 or 22, but I am no expert) more power to them. I refuse to me moralistic about it. America is about having choices. Hooters is not the only place with NFL and college football on, so its not like the only choice for football in town.

    In Afghanistan and in much of Pakistan these women would be victims of an honor killing or stoned for impropriety. Be thankful we live in a place where any adult can dress like a Hooters girl!

    And those Hooters make it all worth fighting for!

    You disappoint me, I actually thought that you are a cool liberal. The hooter girls are pretty and I dont blame guys for going there even though I wouldn’t.

    If we didnt have Hooters and like place, we would probably have suicide bombers. Just sayin.

  • Nature Freak

    I am no Conservative, but I’ve had a good time there.

    The Hooters girls are not working there against their will. Many of them are making money for college. I say live and let live. America is about freedom to choose to dress sexy. It is also about the freedom not to. Having choices is good.

    I marvel at the number of seemingly well educated people on television who say “less” when they should say “fewer”.

    And don’t even get me started about all those who mispronounce the names of fairly well know people such as Van der Sloot, Belichick, Plaxico and Hasselbeck (to name a few).

    I ate at a Hooters in Houston many years ago.  The scenery was good, but I wasn’t impressed with the food too much.  We have a Hooters in my town now (college town) and all of the girls are at least 21 so they can serve alcohol.  I haven’t been to it and its been here for about 6 years.  It’s main crowd are the college boys so they can watch football, baseball, etc, and watch good-looking girls at the same time.  So what does it hurt?  All of the girls are going to college themselves, they get paid good and get good tips.  There isn’t anything obscene about their “uniforms”, but they are designed to catch the eye of young American male.

    As for me, well I still like to look at pretty girls occasionally since I’m not blind nor dead, but I have a granddaughter who is 16 so I tend to think of her when I see a young, pretty girl and that stops that look dead in its tracks.  Sometimes, age is good and sometimes it tends to suck.

    wouldn’t it be nice if your sister didn’t have to sell her body to pay her bills??

    Add to those the number who can’t spell easy words like “definitely” and “lose” and have no clue how to use an apostrophe. Slogging through some of the posts on this site is downright painful.

  • txpatriot

    @Capt ‘Merkun: I agree its too bad that some awful guy is holding a gun to your sister’s head and MAKING them work at Hooters.

    I remember the WAC company had quite a few like that – that’s the reason it was called the reptile colony.

    Say what you will, at least these gals don’t think that traffic
    accidents and 9/11 victims are the same thing like minogaade and Quannah over on Alternet’s thread,”9/11: How I Lost the Country I Used to Know and the Person I Used To Be”

    Those two dopes are the most resistant to common sense and compassion ever. Figures, it’s Alternet.

    Liberal AlterNut stupidity.

    And those two have a magnum load of it.

    My sister is an adult. She can sell her body if she chooses. It’s a free country.

    Why do social conservatives like to use this strawman?

  • http://pulse.yahoo.com/_SIYF5565LXG7BBKTKGSSFWU7TA The Rock

    I really like Hooters and it isn’t a shit hole as you have claim which is a lie. But you keep sticking your nose at hooters your wrong about hooters and you don’t like sexy women serving you and your a prude as well.

  • http://pulse.yahoo.com/_SIYF5565LXG7BBKTKGSSFWU7TA The Rock

    Your wrong about Hooters and working at hooters isn’t selling her body to pay the bills. I would have no problem if my daughter worked at hooters. No one is forcing no one to work at hooters.

    I go to Hooters once a month have had Hooters in Kalamazoo for 10 years. I have only tryed the wings once back in 2000 in Lakeland FL when i was down there for Spring Training baseball wasn’t crazy about there wings so i haven’t eaten since.
