McD's in the US = hot, quick, tasty junk.
McD's in NZ = lukewarm, slow, soggy cardboard with red sauce on, but it'll still give you a heart attack...

I hate to try to extrapolate that to Hooters.

With no Hooters in NZ how do you make the comparison???

Erm, that's what extrapolate means SD. Although, I have been to the Hooters establishment in Birmingham....

Why does New Zealand feel compelled to provide exactly the same entertainment for tourists as they can get at home? And don't tourists come here to experience something different? What kind of person would fork out loads of dosh and spend more than 12 hours in cattle class to spend time in Starbucks, Hooters, McDonald's or Shitty O'Kea's?

Unless I'm missing something, I seem to recall that most women have "boobies". I suspect the alure of Hooters isn't "boobies" per se but the "packaging" thereof. It's disappointing when an allegedly advanced civilisation resorts to vicarious titillation to sell beer.

There's the thing, allegedly.

Hooters target audience, young guys who want to watch some cleavage while they eat... personally I think you could just stay home with a bacon sandwich and watch Desparate Housewives for the same effect, but thems the breaks.

Who says it's for the tourists? I thought it was more for lonely, desperate, single guys . . . or the married ones that either aren't "gettin' any" at home, or just don't like what it is that they are getting.

Hitcher! I am shocked at your distinct lack of insight on this subject, this is NZ, we don't need to resort to vicarious titillation to sell beer. We can sell beer in the shittiest grungiest public bars in the world and make a good profit doing it! No, this effort goes to a much more noble desire than merely selling beer.
This effort goes to supporting the anti-PC movement, men by the thousands will show their support for the movement by drinking beer and gawking at boobies night after night.
It is a powerful statement against the emasculation of man by the feminazi movement, we shall reclaim the right to stare at boobies whenever we choose, and to be proud of being a real man. We shall not bow our heads in shame for having noticed the redhead over there with the incredible rack, and an arse that could crack walnuts. No we shall stand tall and be the lecherous bastards we were always destined to be.

I will begin accepting donations for launching this movement immediately, it will be a national campaign so please give generously and support your fellow men who give of their time and effort to make our agenda known throughout the nation and in every titty bar we can find.

Yeah I'd go if the food's ok and nobody dips their boobies in my Jack!

Pffft Hooters... my wife has a lovely pair, so no gain for me there.

She doesn't pole dance though.... so here's the franchise I wanna see: http://www.spearmintrhino.com/
