Hooters, Knockers, What's the Difference?

From Orlando, Florida with a claim that can only be classified as "mind-boggling", Hooters has filed a lawsuit against Ker's WingHouse of Kissimmee for allegedly stealing the idea of using scantily clad women to sell food and beer. (Hey, McDonald's stole my idea of "selling cheeseburgers." Any good attorneys out there?)

"The evidence will show WingHouse has copied the Hooter girl almost from head to toe," said Hooters of America attorney, Steve Hill. "For want of a better expression, the Hooter girl is our Ronald McDonald." (Scantily clad Ronald McDonald? *shudder*)

But Crawford Ker says he based his successful chain on a failing restaurant that he bought after retiring from the NFL. What was the name of this eating establishment which featured an all female staff? Knockers.

Oh yeah. I forgot to mention that Hooters is also suing because Ker apparently stole the idea of hanging lots of crazy crap on the walls and ceiling, like surfboards and Christmas lights. Lookout TGIFridays, Appleby's, and, well…countless other well-established restaurant chains!

Learn to Be a Dick to Get More Pussy

Having trouble scoring with the chicks? Do you find yourself telling your friends "Well she wasn't my type anyway," more often than you care to admit? For a mere $1000, you too can enroll in Robert Tharp's "Badboy Lifestyle: Learn How to Seduce Any Woman Out There."

The concept is simple. Women supposedly avoid a goody-two-shoes in favor of a bad boy. This three day workshop will teach your average well-meaning nice guy how to be a pimp mack playa who promises to call and then never does. This class will also teach the ins and outs of juggling multiple relationships at the same time and how to be extra freaky in the sack.

So far, the classes are offered in the UK and the US, and they claim to have given their students a 70% success rate. (Success = got laid.)

I'm still wondering how someone can have $1000 to spend and have trouble getting laid in the first place. Ever heard of "wine and dine." guys?

Congress to Scrutinize Porn Closely

Researchers have recently concluded that pornography addiction is akin to heroine addiction (and harder to hide between your toes).

They are now calling on Congress to finance further studies and launch a public health campaign. Mary Anne Layden, co-director of a sexual trauma program at the University of Pennsylvania, wants to see statements on billboards and busses advising you not to go to strip clubs or look at porn on the internet. So they can fight porn addiction. By advertising it on busses and billboards. Hmmm.

Porn Clocked at 60 MPH

It's amazing that, with 50 states in our nation, a relatively high percentage of wacky news originates in Florida. So sticking with the current porn theme, this lil' doozy comes to us from Miami proper. It turns out, a the Local 10 news station recently went undercover to research a popular porn site promoting video from "The Sex Bus." Unlike the Soul Train, the Sex Bus plot includes picking a woman up from the side of the road and flirting like they're on an episode of Jerry Springer. The men of the bus then have sex with the woman, finally leaving the woman on the side of the road. This scintillating plot draws over 100,000 hits a day to their website.

Local 10's reporter posed as a woman responding to their advertisement and found out a man by the name Olivier Caudron produces the Sex Bus under the company Ox Ideas. When she asked what her compensation would be post-sex, the answer was "$700 cash after the shoot." Sounds like a good wad of cash to leave with a woman on the side of the road.

College Students Pay Photographers to Take Nude Photos

I'm not making this up, I swear. And yes, I did have to read it twice to verify. Xi'an is an ancient city in the Shaanxi Province of China. It is also home to college girls who not only want to have their pictures taken nude, but also pay anywhere from $120 to $600 (U.S. conversion) to have it done.

"I think it's worth the money. I can leave my most beautiful time eternally on the negative and photos," an anonymous 20-year-old girl said.

I'm movin' to Xi'an. Who's with me?
