Bang goes the Icelandic animation industry.

I'm sure there will be plenty, as long as you like sausage...

What Icelandic animation industry?

It's fascinating to me that Icelandic feminists have become so radicalized that they're beginning to resemble Right-Wing Christian groups in some of their actions.

Obviously the motives aren't the same, but the desired result is identical...

I think Fitzz mentioned rednecks going to applebees. Must be a southern thing because where I'm at the rednecks all pour into Burger King. Applebees in my town seems to be 90% college yuppie crowd.

Perhaps I should have been a bit more specific,Applebees (along with Dennys,Golden Coral and Sizzler) are where the rednecks like to take their Lady friends when their feeling extra romantic.

As far as my opinion concerning Hooters,Meh,I don't go there (if I want to look at wigglely women,I'll go to a strip club.),but,I think it's much ado about nothing.
If it offends you,don't go.
If you don't wish to work there...don't.
Does Hooters objectify women,sure it does...and so does almost every other business and corperation in existance (to some extent).

I actually like the first 3 places mentioned. Never been to Sizzler.

I actually think Applebees makes a fine place to dine on a "date". But then in my town the most romantic place to eat is probably Pepper Corn (it's like a steak/winery restaurant with actual cloth napkins and private rooms and candlelight) and even that would be low brow, redneckish to someone in a city of millions with 100's of romantic places to choose from.

Wasn't trying to come off snobbish Fate,Applebees is a fine place to take a date (I just hate their food).
I see your point concerning living in a small town,your options are certainly limited,back in New Orleans there are literaly thousands of restarunts to choose from,and of course now I live 5 minutes outside Atlanta,so it's much the same.
Amusingly enough,myGirlfriend often suggest we eat at Hooters ...I just keep on driving and looking for a Ruths Chris.

I take it the actual food at Hooters is pretty gak?

I like their wings. Okay wings IMO but not the best. Certainly not the worst.

Best wings I've had were Buffalo Wild Wings wings but than again my restaurant selection is very limited (and my budget as well).

Didn't say you were being snobby. Just pointing out that I can see why you wouldn't think Applebees is a "classy" joint compared to other places that are available to people in larger cities.

I've eaten at Hooters twice,IMO the wings are bland and the beer is WAY over priced.

Oh, yeah, not a fan of Hooters restaurants. The girls, while friendly, are uniformly short, which isn't my taste.

If I want to see tail (& bewbs), I'll spend my money at a strip club. Preferably an all-nude one which leaves absolutely nothing to the imagination, and possibly showing what isn't typically seen outside of gynecology.

But who as the money for soapland? Not your average schmoo. And I know. I"m an average schmoo.

Soapland once a month vs Maid Cafe every weekend?

My views on the subject tend to go with the apathetic. Yes the point is easily made and true that it is degrading to people....who let it degrade them. People have free wills for a reason. If somebody wants to be oggled by guys to get tips who cares? Morals and ethics are simply ideals that are to be discussed and debated (in a manner that it has on this forum for example), not forced upon people who don't want to hear it with mindless protesting that blocks people from getting in. People have the right to protest but I have the right to ignore them and get to my legal destination unhindered. I have never personally eaten there because I like burgers more than wings and there always seems to be either a Chedders or Applebees nearby.

We are watching closely.


Seriously, whats up with Iceland? Seems like some kind of aversion to making money to me. Strip clubs are just fine by me as long as the employees are fairly compensated and work there of their own volation. Not exactly my kinda place, but I hear its a great way for an attractive girl to pay off her student loans.

It's a puritan thing.
