I Apologize But I Love Me Those Hooter-Filled Headlines

From thesmokinggun.com (via every single blog I read today) comes the story of Jarman Gray:

In a federal lawsuit, Jarman Gray, a former assistant manager of an Alabama Hooters, charges that he was fired last year after complaining about comments made to employees by a female "visiting training manager." In his April 7 U.S. District Court complaint, a copy of which you'll find below, the 31-year-old Gray claims that a trainer named Cat told waitresses that they were "the ones with the pussys and you are in control because of that." Then she reportedly added, "If you need the extra money, go ahead and suck a dick or fuck a customer if the money is right."

Honestly, I read this story at so many different internet spots today that I wasn’t going to comment on it. I understand the attraction – who doesn’t want the word Hooter in their headline? I love it. It just cries out Americana to me.

But then, I see people commenting on this news item and missing out on some great jokes. No one making comparison to Velvet Jones’ “The Velvet Jones School of Technology.” No one asking who names their kid “Jarman.” (Which, by the way, means “German” in Olde English. Damn Nazi, trying to oppress these fine young women – Keeping them from earning some extra dollars.) No one even making a good Alabama joke. No one even asking “Hey, how can I get to be ‘Training’ Manager for Hooters?”

Personally, I don’t see what the problem is. I’ve had many corporate trainers tell me that I should be chugging schlongs for extra money. (I have pretty lips.) You don’t see me complaining to management. I take it as a compliment. Hey, my ass is nice enough to rent. Move on.

Hasn’t Hooters learned to screen out the litigious employees by now? How many lawsuits does it take?

Also at thesmokinggun.com, they arrested the Easter Bunny.
