  • My husband is a manager at Hooters....... guess what? We take out daughters there for lunch! OMG!! Someone call Child Protective Services!! Oh wait... it's a restaurant.. NOT a strip club! Get over it! Kids see more skin at the beach/pool, and on TV. Hooters Girls are not strippers. Anyone insecure about their man going there needs to get a grip on reality. Seriously!!

  • I take my kids to Hooters,Hooters is not a strip bar or whatever....they see boobs at the pool in bikinis.....some people are so damn dumb.

  • is it wrong? no

  • Nothing wrong with that..if I want some good chicken wings I go to hooters..big deal if Im 8 or 88 years old..some women are totally insecure and are usually jealsous of the hot women there or dont have husbands because of shit like that.

  • they offer a choice for women they can go to school become a doctor or a scientest or a hooters girl, its just the ugly fat moms who get mad!

  • You see more skin at the beach

  • Hooters is a family restaurant. You seem more skin on the average beer commercial.

  • my mom says that ppl that think hooters is a strip club is mental

  • You let your children go to the beach,high school, watch tv, read mag. now think about hooters the girls are covering up you don't have to make such a deal!!!

  • Hooters in not a gentlemans club, it is not an adult only venue. This is a public bar and restaurant open to the general public. Yes, the waitresses are cute and sexy, but they are not nude. This is a public establishment open to the general public.

    There is nothing wrong here.

  • i hit puberty when i was 12

  • im 11 hiting puberty is wierd

  • i went to hooters when i was 10 they had good food

  • When I was young, I always thought hooters was for older men, being a young girl i was scared to ask to go.. but always wanted to.. now, I may have to ask :P

  • i went to hooters with my dad at age 12 and it didn't mess me up irreversibly. i was about the same as this kid, very shy. i thought the girls were good looking but i was just a young man, not old enough to pull out seedy pickup lines

  • i went when i was 4 k so shut the f*ck up

  • omg. i am 11 and i am a girl, and have been to hooters. its not that bad holy shit

  • Kids see more stuff like this out on the street & on the tv. So whats the hoot.

  • Kids under 12 eat free in NC at Hooters

  • lol hi i live in nc and the hooters there are awesome i live in greenville near chocowinity

  • girls in middle school show more skin like realy

  • America, stop hiding your kids from the facts of life:

    FACT: There are hot women in the world! Stop sapping your sons' confidence by making them afraid around them! THEY'RE GONNA NEED THAT!

    FACT: They are naked people in the world! If you believe in God, then please believe me: HE brought us here that way! IT'S NATURAL! GROW THE FUCK UP!

    FACT: Spanking is in the Bible! "He that spareth his rod hateth his son: but he that loveth him chasteneth him betimes." (Proverbs 13:24) NOW, BEAT THAT ASS!

  • wats the matter........i went to hooters wen i was 6........wow.........ur gonna find out sooner or l8tr

  • i went to hooter i got a phone number

  • yeah right gaydick

  • lookin good AK

  • doesnt matter since kids dont appreciate boobs yet

  • The Hooters in my town has a children's menu.

  • What? Sorry i don't quite get it. What again is the deal with the waitresses in this local? I didn't know what hooters is so i did a image search. How in the world is this offensive or what not. I mean come on, what if you take your kids to the beach or even worse; to the nudism section of the beach(ok i don't exactly know if there such things in the US, i have to admit). But anyway, to get upset about that is plain stupid..i guess.

  • This is great. this dad should get an award! Screw all these Dr. Phil loving people whos against this! we have bigger things to worry about than someone taking his kid to hooters, like are oil problems and no jobs!!!! Get a life people! who cares!

  • they acting like he took his son to a strip club or something seriously you people need to get a freaking life.

  • you can see more skin at the local mall

  • It's just a restaurant. People need to relax........

  • Hooters is a restaurant, not a strip club. Yep, not a big deal.

  • Im owner of a strip club & i let my 12 year old son visit me there all the time.

  • well you have problems then you sick fuck

  • in virginia everone goes to hooters(even 11 year old girls)

  • they teach sex ed in school, so whats the difference?

  • Yeah, go to Hooters to explain to your son how women are objectified. He's gonna find out sooner or later that they are.

  • I don't have a problem with a husband/father taking the children to Hooters. I would have a problem with the husband/father leaving it off at just Hooters.

    It would be a good thing for a man to teach boys how to respect women, explain to them how women are treated differently if their occupations are in line with Hooters, pagents,  sex workers. Why not explain to them restrictive roles for women based on sexuality?

    A mother can show them similar things, but a father would have more impact.

  • Sex worker? Is that a Anatomic Sales Associate?

  • It's like lobbyist. It better describes what the exchange is.

  • Oh, political correctness. You know, that gave me an idea. Political correctness does better describe the exchange.

  • I went to hooters with my mom and dad when I was around that age. I'm not a sexual deviant and my parents are still married after 30 years. I can't even comprehend how some people have a problem with this.

  • No, it is not wrong.

  • I'm a girl and my dad has been taking my brothers and I to hooters since I was about 2 (I'm the oldest). I like the food, I get to have quality time with my father, (who's simply there for the game), and I get to see my favorite team win. In my book that's the definition of great parenting.

  • not a fan of wooters is like window shopping whats the point?

  • Are you retarded?

  • 2:27 Lol

  • I'm a girl and I don't see why people get so freaked out about Hooters. It's JUST a restaurant!

    And the women are covered up in a shirt and shorts. If uptight people have something against that, I imagine them having heart attacks going to the beach.

    I'm pretty sure my dad has taken me to hooters when I was younger than 11. It's fine.

    It's not like they are completely naked or anything.

  • i dont think its wrong, bt im glad my dad never took me lol

  • "They are wearing pantyhose .. Yea..."

    EPIC

  • Why isn't Ana working at Hooters yet?

  • lol

  • I think the controversy goes back subconsciously to the ideals of chivalry, where men in knight uniform came to protect the women and children bravely. Now, anyone who has even taken a small gander at history knows that's bullshit, but I digress. It's patronizing to women to assume all of them hate being oogled at, and that all of them are 'forced' into prostitution and Hooters. It's their lives, leave them alone; they're doing more to stimulate the economy among other things then 'you' are.

  • Wish my dad took me to Hooters..

  • way back when my pewee hockey team won the championship we all went to hooters after, it was fucking awesome and we were all 12 years old. it's not a fucking strip bar it's just hot girls with a lot of makeup and fake tits serving shitty chicken wings. can someone pleaes tell me how that is harmful??

  • Yeah pretty sure I went to Hooters with my dad when I was 11. All of these moms who say he is a horrible pig are probably all fat and unemployed so they are just bitter about their irrelevance.

  • Every nephew in the world needs an Uncle Cenk.

  • So people think you can't go to Hooters until your 18 what bull.

  • I was watching TV with my 8 year old son the other day. He asked "Daddy, do you like boobs?" and I said "Yes son", and he said "Me too!"

    I was so proud. And he's only 8.

  • OMG that's so amazing. You must be a great father!

  • I would like to nominate aquaknot's comment for Best Youtube Comment Ever!

  • I could tell anna was uncomfortable with the whole thing but trying to cover it up.

  • I'm a mom who never hesitated to bring her 2 little boys to Hooters when we were on road trips and needed a place to eat. I've never had any reason to regret the decision, and can't understand the big deal. Our city fought having a franchise open here for about six years, but there's been no trouble at all since it opened. Tempest in a teapot stuff

  • Taking your kid to Hooters isn't going to get the job done if you want to teach them the birds and the bees.

    I took my son to a back alley hooker named Jezabelle and made him watch as I double fisted her then ate out her asshole to help him learn about sex.

    It seems to have worked out pretty well, I'll just have to see how he reacts to women when he hits puberty.

  • LMFAO

  • Big effing deal. I've seen entire families in that place time and time again over the years.

    Better not take your kids to the beach, tight-asses who are complaining...you'll see more T&A there.

  • This isn't Bunny Ranch. Who cares?

  • go ana thank you, the guy did good thing on what he did, i went to there when i was young.

  • Hes blog was probably invaded by feminists. Its not like you dont see more at the beach... They gonna say you cant take your kids to the beach as well?

  • I was just thinking that

  • Of Course it's Virginia.

    It's always Virginia.

  • Son, you're gonna become a MAN tonight!

  • People who are upset about this most likely have never been to hooters. I think a lot of people have misconceptions about it. It's really not sleazy like many people might think.

  • I would say that even though the father's intent was good, if it takes a trip to Hooters to provide an opportunity to talk about sex, there's something wrong. It shouldn't be an event, it should be an ongoing communication process.

  • When I used to go to Hooters a few years back, there was always children there.

  • hooters is just another restaurant...as a girl...those women are not being objectified...some people need to get a life

  • what exactly is hooters, Iv'e never been to one of their establishments, or even to North America, but I always assumed it was some kind of strip club, but this video and the comments below seem to be saying its just an ordinary resturaunt.

  • It's a restaurant chain that employs pretty much only females for the servers, and they are usually attractive. They are young, good looking, and wear short shorts. That's pretty much the extent of it. You'll see more skin at the neighborhood swimming pool.

  • Went to Hooters a few times, and I see kids go there. It IS after all a sports restauarant... ahem.

    Seriously though, it's no big deal.

  • It's a just a resturaunt really. the waitresses there tend to have large breasts leading to the name "hooters." it's not that big of a deal really, and i think as a chick, i can say that.  guys will be guys and the women are fully covered.

  • what a cool dad!

    next lesson: upskirt pictures using a cellphone

  • no your head my not explode if you go to hooters, but one of your artieries damm sure will

  • I went to a Hooters for the first time last year when I was 25. But then again I'm a girl so this wasn't some right of passage for me. I thought that, compared to what I see at the mall or when I go down town, these girls were dressed rather modestly and just had a wonderful demeanor that all waitresses are supposed to have. I do not see what the big deal is at all.

  • I have a brother thats 9 and a brother thats 13, im 17, nd we go to hooters all the time!!

  • I have never in my life been to Hooters and not seen at least one 11ish kid there. How people continue to be so scandalized by this is beyond me.

  • Coolest Dad in the World!!

    :P

  • "Uncle Cenk, let's go to Hooters!"

  • i don't see the big deal i been there since i was 18 and everytime i go i see young kids and parrents eating so i don't think its a big deal its more of a sports grill resturant

  • little boys are jerking it by 11. that means they like woman, especially half naked ones

  • I totally did this at age 13, so that seemed alright.

  • Some Americans are messed up about sex, especially female sexuality. I can imagine some Puritans clutching their Bibles and shrieking that the horrid lady-parts are coming to get the precious innocent little boys.

  • Man, that Dad has got to be the coolest/smartest parents ever. I gotta used that as a excuse when I grow up to have a son of my own.

  • my friends little brother always goes to hooters since he was like 4, i thought it was weird for the whole family to go there in the first place but whatever

  • I've been to Hooters at age eleven. Hell, I've been there younger than that too!

  • I see famlies at hooters all the time, there not naked in there they have on tank tops and shorts

  • Lol...i only go to hooters to mess with the waitresses.

  • Seriously? hooters? Have you ever been there? I've taken my own kids out to eat at hooters....you people are dumb!!

  • I agree with slammercal!

    Who ever slammercal is they are the hero that America needs!

    God bless you slammercal!

  • one coach was gunna take a few of us and its just a resturant if its not the strip club so wat it does not matter really

  • He just wanted to visit his mom at work. Seriously though I wouldn't have done it as a feminist but I don't care about this guy doing it. No big deal.

  • Ah hit not Hooters. How dare he take his kids to of all places Hooters. Did you all see that girl in that pic? She looked like...like...a girl you'd see walking around outside. Holy shit someone cut out those kids eyes or blindfold them. No beaches for them I think. Imagine. Hooters of all places. I went toa nude beach in Germany at the age of 5....whoopedy doo. Our society has become the society of anal retentaves. Kids there age will see worse typing cherry on google. Stupid people are funny.

  • take your son to brothel when he's15

  • 16 in VA but good call.

  • I see nothing more inherently wrong with a waitress at hooters, a stripper, a porn actress or a hooker than I do with anyone working for wages. All are selling themselves for money. All are prostitutes.

    Comments?

  • I don't think I'd compare my job (an economist) to a prostitute. There's a difference between spending several hours a day analyzing information that I enjoy reading about and having to sell my body because I'm poor an uneducated.

  • I did not necessarily have your profession in mind when I made the claim. I meant more along the lines of construction workers, factory workers, etc. Both are selling themselves in different ways to meet different needs of society, which is good, but they are selling themselves nonetheless, making them prostitutes in my mind.

  • That is true but I personally think I could handle the degredation of workhorse manual labor (I worked a manual labor job for 4 summers, averaging 60 hours/week) over having dicks in my mouth (or ass) for a living. Sorry to be so blunt, lol.

  • Well, I am assuming you are a man. How about if you could make the same amount of money having sex with women? You might consider it over manual labor.

  • I know i would, there are some male prostitutes but market is pretty small

  • Yes, I'm a man. No, if I seriously had to consider selling myself like that I don't think I could do it. I wouldn't have respect for myself after doing something like that. Allowing myself to be a public sexual dumpster for people I don't even know.

  • So you wouldn't sell yourself as a sex laborer, but you would as a workhorse? They seem very similar to me.

  • It's not like the girls at hooters are strippers or are offering themselves out to patrons. They just look good. If someone told me I could make a (relative to the fast food industry) lot of money by wearing a tight t-shirt and serving burgers to 30 year old women, I'd have a very tough time finding a problem with it. When it comes to the myth of "sexual objectification," people need to calm down. Finding a person attractive is not objectifying them.

  • I have no qualms with Hooters. It's not prostitution by a long shot IMO. You can see women showing more skin at the beach than at Hooters.

  • I took my boys at 10, 12 amd 14 to Hooters and they loved it. They responded like young guys that age normally would. Mostly observation as I remember. Then the next day they woke up for school and reality bit em in the ass again......:) :) :)......

  • wow. I guess the world would stop if he dared to take them to the beach where girls run around in thongs and bikinis.

  • Yes, it's wrong to implicitly teach a child that objectifying women is okay.

  • well the restaurant claims to be a legitimate restaurant, not a strip club-like place. If anything you should be condemning the girls that enables hooters to operate the way they do.

  • The best scenery in the world is woman with huge breasts. If I am not mistaken most kids grew up with them.

  • wow ur stupid its juss Hooters ! they can wear wht there boss tells thm 2 wear.. u need 2 stop being JEALOUS !

  • I went to Hooters for my brother's birthday and saw 2 to maybe 10 year old kids there with their family. It's no big deal at all. It's a restaurant with good food and TV's to watch the games. I don't think the kids would care what the waitresses wear. All they focus on is food and toys (the owls of course).

    And hey, I think it's cool to take his son to Hooters. At least it's a good start for his son to like women when he grows up. Be happy with that mothers.

  • right on, these woman are not nude, nor even dressed suggestively, shorts and tank tops, damn I have a woody, lol, "evil to those who think evil"

  • XD Exactly!

    Plus I don't see the point in complaining about what the Hooters girls wear to work. And I certainly don't think people who "think" they're unattractive should hold a grudge on them because of the way they look. I don't wear short shorts in public, but that doesn't mean I'm not pretty enough to do it.

    So the girls have more guts than me in wearing the tank and shorts, and no matter what, women are beautiful regardless of the size and looks.

  • Well Mika, I agree the beauty of woman has been trampled in the past 50 years. Take a look at all the old art, even in the area of SALES, lol, yes some people are still in the 3rd grade playground, gggling about boobies, usually the right wings nuts jobs, and their counterparts the right wing socalled feminists, lol the bauty of woman has been hated by church men and the right wing rednecks, lol unless it is ti harm that beauty

  • Mental picture of Ana in a Hooters uniform For The Win!!! :-)

  • For real.

  • "Some women get too anal about this stuff" :D

  • Dat father is win

  • Calm down, it's not like he took his kid to magic city.

  • Lol Cenk cool uncle.

  • ITS HOOTERS!! U GOT THERE 2 EAT!!!

  • What a joke..........

    The objectivication of women?

    I wonder if these same people complaining tell their daughters to stop putting up posters of that guy from 'Twilight' in there rooms and the 'dangers' of 'incorrect' clothing being purchased.

    The boy would see more if you took him down to the beach.

  • this is so ridiculous. Just the other day I saw a family at hooters, and a few months ago I saw a whole little league team (baseball or soccer or something) eating at hooters.

    Amazingly stupid people would complain about this, and I bet they vote republican.

  • Unconventional? Yes. Inappropriate? Hell no. It's just a restaurant where you don't notice how bad the food is because of the nice scenery.

  • Hooters is a family restaurant with pretty(sometimes) girls waiting on you. Its funny how ugly women have so much against pretty women.

  • right on brother! right on!

  • It's not a big deal that a kid got taken to Hooters. It's wierd how Hooters is thought of as a horrible place where women are objects. It's like the first word to come to someone's head would be nudity when they hear the word Hooters. It's not even close to nudity. Also, I don't really see how the birds and the bees talk is important. The kid will figure it out on his own, they teach it at school, and it is really awkward. Then again, I'm not a parent, so I wouldn't know.

  • Hey guys, subscribe to my show, The Third Hour. A progressive talk show similar to The Young Turks.

    Watch and Subscribe, more videos on the way tommorow!"

  • I really don't think it is necessary to take your son to Hooters in order to give him the birds and the bees talk. Just talk to the kid. I know that people take kids to Hooters all the time, I just think that's a really weird reason to do it.

    Regardless, I hate Hooters.Just don't like the concept.

  • Why is Hooters even a big deal? It's not like it's a strip club. The only offensive thing is the food.

  • Hooters is a family restaurant and honestly the waitresses are covered up so I really don't see the big deal

  • my dad took me to a brothel and made me sleep with 5 women when i was 8 and i turned out just fine

  • You could see more at the beach.

  • I see kids at hooters all the time. They have the best goddamn wings on the planet. What is the big deal? I don't understand why this is news worthy?

  • so that mean we dont have to take kids to the beach ?? lol .. it is normal.. not making it normal is not normal !!!

  • What a cool dad. If my dad had done that for me at 11 I would have worshiped him

  • The title should have been "Butters went to Raisins".

  • Please, those kids have probably saw more skin on T.V. than they did at Hooters.

  • Exactly!!

  • Hooters is not a fucking strip club.

  • When I was 13 my dad took me to Hooters and my head did explode.............my litle head, that is.

  • I had lost Ana and then she got me back with the idea that Dad used the situation as a trigger for talking about sex. However, if you just take a kid who is not prepared to a place called Tits, with all the secual aura, many kids might be overstimulated, and feelings they cannot handle emerge. A kid at 11 or 12 is sexual. Do you remember? If a child does not have trusted adults around, it can hurt them. Cenk, your liberality is sometimes oblivious to psychological subtleties.

  • It was to see if he's gay. JK

  • I love Ana.

    Whos the lucky guy that has her.

    I am so jealous.

    Shes like a dream girl, not just her looks, but her personality and open minded ness make her a goddess with physical and intellectual stimulation overload.

    I would not be able to function around her :P

  • There was a guy on Ana's facebook page that was complaining about people who were OK with having a gay child, and said "How would you feel if you took your 11 year old to Hooters and he didn't like it." His name is Sam Crespo, and I am pretty sure he has no penis.

  • When I was in the 3rd grade I had never been... but lots of the kids in my school had - boys and girls. Hooters is not a pornographic store, it is a restaurant. If he was showing his son porn, and using as a teachable moment, it might be awkward... but whatever.

    I personally find the food horrible, and the view isn't worth the food, but Hooters is like the most non-assuming restaurant. The women are fully clothed, and the kids DEFINITELY see more at the pool during the summer

  • Of cooooouuuurse there's someone making a big deal out of this. I mean, we're talking about a country that focused its discussion about a video game on a hidden, unintended sexual aspect and before that "totally" ignored the fact that you can shoot people in it randomly (for money).

  • My dad took my little brother to hooters when he was probably 10 or so. I thought it was pretty cool. Hell, 11 year olds like girls! The dad did nothing wrong.

  • It's probably OK for the kids unless they are not mentally capable of handling it. It's within the law so one experience with Hooters will probably not mess them up or traumatize them. As far as "objectifying" goes, that's more of a social thing. It's supposed to be mildly stimulating. You get that wherever you go. If that's a hooter lady in the photo, she looks nice. Looks like Summer out the window. Breasts are a little like billboards but biologically.

  • my dad and uncle took me to hooters when i was around that young...

  • My ex-wife took my 11 y.o. daughter & friend to Hooters for lunch. They thought it was funny, and the food was OK, though not exceptional. And my niece was a Hooters girl when she was in her early 20's - she didn't get herpes or nothin' ...

    But Cenk is a pervy wanker!

  • ok Anna's hot today....love her ideas on this one.

  • It can't be as bad as in the UK where 13 year olds are fathers. Broken Britain again.

  • I wish my dad had taken me to Hooters when I was 11!

  • Nah. Another rare occasion where I disagree with The Turks.

    Hooters -- strip joint -- prostitution -- they're all basically the same thing, just a difference in degree. I think it's very disrespectful towards women, and that's not something I'd want to teach a son.

  • You are a fucking twat. Or gay. Disrespectful towards women? Are the women forced to work there? Can I come over to your house and slap my cock across your face? Do you like that? Or is that not 'respectful'? People like you should be shot.

  • Amazing, you call him gay, then ask to slap your dick across his face. Very interesting.
