Will they have an Ugly Women class action group too?

How about Dwarfs? Lesbian dwarfs (it's a small class of 2).

EEOC to Hooters: We want you to conduct sensitivity training studies to teach all of your employees to be more sensitive to the needs of men.

No reason for that.

I have eaten plenty of times at Hooters. Never, ever, have their employees been insensitive to my needs :)

Decent food and large breasted women.

I'd say they are very sensitive to the needs of men.

Weird....here in Raleigh NC, guess The Doll House is going to be into trouble now with the EEOC. They serve food and lots of beverage too. Seems to always be a crowd there too, Wed., Thurs., Fri., afternoon / evenings.

Next thing you know, they'll be a discrimination suit on the Doll House with not so younger, not so attractive, not so well-figured, not so friendly, insanely jealous left-wing femi-Nazis as the plaintiffs.

The ignorance is breathtaking. I don't know very many people who go to Hooters for the food.

I don't go to Hooters for the chicken wings --- I go for the breasts. ;~))

Been there twice. Both times worst burger I have ever had. It's hard to make a bad hamburger. Hooters does it well!

It's high time the EEOC went after the people who run the cosmetics counters in the big department stores. They need to find some men to do those makeovers and assault shoppers with perfume sprays.

It's not unheard of, after all, look at Tammy Fay Bakker!

"Lawyers representing male applicants accepted an out-of-court settlement of $3.75 million, a fraction of the $22 million that had been demanded. "

So Hotters had to pay almost four million bucks to settle a BS lawsuit, and this is considered a victory?

...teach all of your employees to be more sensitive to the needs of men.

They're already sensitive to my needs. That's why I go there.

Have these and other EEOC excesses embarrassed the government into shrinking the EEOC? Of course not. It now has 2,400 employees, and spent $326.8 million in 2005 -- millions more than the year before.

It occurred to me that there might be employment discrimination within the EEOC itself. After all, despite the dumbing down of our population over the last 50 years, it seems inconceivable that you could have 2,399 sniveling, neuronically-challenged, de-sexed horse's butts and only 1 normal person (the night janitor). Perhaps a lawsuit against the EEOC by a bunch of typical bureaucratic types - you know, the bored-with-life, pencil-necked geeks and the lard-assed, whiney buttinskis - would produce some real results.

Better yet, let's just defund everything except the Department of Defense and NASA, and save lots of money and trouble. The unemployed EEOC bureaucrats can go to Iraq and the various Crapholeistans in the region and file suits there, while the rest of the bureaucrats will be stunningly more productive sitting at home collecting welfare and food stamps.

Actually, feminists believe the only purpose of the female breast is to nurture the infant (begotten by a turkey baster).

To regard the female bosom as an object of erotic interest by the opposite sex is the worst form of sexism to these people.

Good Lord! Now they're attacking HOOTER'S?
For discrimination?

I guess this is what we get when nanny-state gets to much power. And we can expect much more.
When are people gonna wake the hell up?
