This Hooters Commercial Makes Me Want To Stab Myself In The Eye [VIDEO]

Oh, hi there. Greetings from 1953, where “girls” over the age of 30 are useless to civilization and older women in bathing suits deserve to drown in a pool.

Nope, sorry, you’re right. It’s 2012. And that was just a Hooters commercial I saw.

Okay, let’s back up. The latest entry from your destination for mediocre Heart Attack Cuisine: A commercial that’s so flagrantly, unapologetically cruel and nasty, it’s shocking that it made it from conception to reality.

Here’s what I’m getting from this: Older women are gross and shouldn’t be allowed in public, in bathing suits. Older women are gross and undeserving of a lifeguard who will stay on duty and not actively sneer at their bodies. Lifeguards should definitely, instead of doing their jobs, go to Hooters and order A) A pitcher of beer, B) A dozen hot wings, C) A burger with french fries and sure, why not, D) A perfunctory salad smothered in globs of cheese. When you survey the feast just waiting to rupture your colon, gesticulate wildly(!) to show how happy you are not only with the “food” but with the size of your waitresses’ knockers. They will nod in delighted approval. They have been waiting for you all day.

Cool, bro, good story.

The Cultural Marxism and double-think is strong with this one. Hooters didn’t exist in 1953. If anything, Hooters (and more the cultural decay it *implies* and embraces) is a product of a much later time. A product of the decadent society you have been hoodwinked in to believing is better. But that is what feminism is about. Can’t you just admit you were and are wrong?

In the 50′s women and their role in society was honored. You mistake having different roles with being valued less. And what has been the result in the long term? Good for neither women nor men.

What I say is true not only true about sex but about age. Even TV reflects it – Aunt Bea was not considered unimportant. Older people were not considered unimportant. Now they are. This redounds more negatively to women since their shelf-life of sexual attraction is very much shorter than men.

This focus on youth was important because Cultural Marxism and its counter-cultural goals means harnessing the infantile mind of youth.

“This redounds more negatively to women since their shelf-life of sexual attraction is very much shorter than men.”
That’s not natural truth. That’s the patriarchy speaking.

Your ideas are boring and blah. Two comments to blah all over in defense of what? Your boner for Hooters chicks? Go away.

Don’t use Star Wars, man. Star Wars is for us. Use something shitty, use Twister, or Congo.

I agree, though I think there are two separate issues in this commercial. The treatment of the elderly women and the situation at Hooters. The gestures the asshole character makes in these commercials are terrible and I hope he ruptures his colon mid-feast, absolutely. And he’s a terrible life guard that shouldn’t be oggling senior citizens. It’s weird. Actually, I’ll stop there. If he didn’t oggle, he wouldn’t have noticed that woman fixing her swimsuit (and then neither would we). So, yes. Screw that guy.

Actually, in 1953, there would have been:

No restaurants called “Hooters”, certainly not advertising on television;
No old people wearing skimpy bathing suits;
No culture of mindless youth-worshipping hedonistic empty hook-ups.
