I think they're just milking it for the publicity...

We had a local Cocoa-Colo Dist. sponsor our team when I was little and we thought we were cool.

I would imagine these guys would be loving it.

I hate Hooter food so I never go there. But, my wife and I have taken out son there when he was 8 years old and saw nothing wrong with it.

Why is everyone so uptight about sexualality anyway?

I think it might be worse if your kid is playing GTA or Counter Strike on his X-box.

But what do I know.

I am sure all the little boys over in Europe are scarred for life from seeing bare breasts on television.

Boobs please

Seems an activit group is urging Burger King to drop their Kids' Meal program for the latest Star Wars movie 'cause it's rated PG13. The kid's meal target consumer is 4-9.

Is there something so wrong about a toddler hurling around a light saber, trying to cut his mommy off at the knees?

Right on brother.

The other night I was flipping past something like "medium" I think and they had a disemboweled girl on the table with blood all over the walls. Yeah - that's cool at 10 on NBC but boobs aren't.

Boobs! Please!

Really amazing. That CSI stuff is morbid beyond the real stuff, yet they show it on prime time. Then you catch a glimpse of Janet Jackson's boob and the network exec's have seizures. I don't get it.

Anymore, the Hooters girls look like the wholesome girl-next-door type. Except the girl next door is getting scary.

I was recently working in an upscale beach community (what beach community is not upscale

), and the mom was bringing the (I guess) 10th grader home. As the young girl got out of the ubiquitous mini van, I noticed she was wearing a pleated, plaid short skirt and a simple white blouse. I assume it was a "uniform," but she looked like the girls on "Leave it to Beaver" or "Father Knows Best" shows. Actually, I think the kids are taking after the late 50's styles quite a bit nowadays.

Works for me. Much better than the slutting looking trash I usually see after school on the streets.

Yeah, Hooters is pretty tame by today's standards. How come they all can't look like that?

Network exec's LOVED IT. It was the conservatives watching the Superbowl who went grand maul - and as they should have.

The execs started having seizures after the backlash of the...ur...costume malfunction.

Yep, we in America have got a seriously twisted sense of what is obscene and what is not. I myself will not subject myself to some of the disgusting carnage so popular in movie houses and even television today. And yet, I'll have no qualms whatsoever about taking my children to hippie gatherings where the ladies do not have to fret over whether to wear a top or not. I got no problem with that at all, and some of you might be interested in how quickly the prurient aspect of boobs goes away when they're accepted as what they are....another body part.

I grew up in a small logging town in North Idaho, somewhat near a community called Wallace. Well, Wallace was famous for its illegal-but-tolerated brothels. Yep, a real live holdover from the wild west. One of the brothels even sponsored a Little League team. And the community was happy to support their games.

But finally, I have to post the remark I thought I would have already seen her: This thread is useless without pics.

I was just hearing on a local radio station today that there is a bunch of folks wanting to ban the recent Paris Hilton Carls Jr. commercial cuz it's they think it's basically soft core porn. Guess Paris is in a bikini washing a car and the garden hose "spurts" into the camera.... As DD mentioned, Teen Titans are probably worse for my 5 year old.

Yeah, they want to ban it. It looks like she's giving head to the thing!

mikester · 05-24-2005, 04:15 PM

sigh...

Man...boobs are alright. Blood and guts aren't. I'd rather my kid see boobs than people getting killed and such.

Heck; he's 5 months old and he's got a mouth full of boob more often than *I* do. But I suppose that's okay right now...

Will this work for starters?
