Celebrity Justice
Dumbasses Try to Neuter Hooters

Some desperate men with a dream to serve hot wings and wear short-shorts are suing the people behind Hooters -- because the man-haven wouldn't hire the dudes as waitresses!

These dumbasses -- led by some d-bag named Nikolai Grushevski -- have filed a class-action suit in Texas alleging they were each "denied a waiter's position because of ... gender." No s**t?!!?!!

Anyway, the guys -- who we'll call "the ruiners of all things good" -- are claiming the Southwest Airlines defense, citing a three-decade-old case where the airline was forced eventually to hire male flight attendants.

The guys are asking the court for emotional damages -- but we thought you had to have those before getting a job at Hooters!

Mike McNeil, the VP of Marketing for Hooters of America, tells TMZ, "This move of course begs the question, why would a man want to be a Hooters Girl? In our opinion, he doesn't and he is simply looking for an opportunity to be the lead plaintiff in a class action lawsuit so he can try and make some money without working for it."

46. I cant believe all of the negative and horrible comments by people about Hooter Girls. If you don't like it or don't agree with it than that is your opinion and keep your trap shut. The girls at Hooters come from all walks of life and all chest sizes for that matter. I am a 34B and I made just as much if not more money than the girls with bigger breasts. It was a good job and I made good money! And the girls are FAR from one step closer to a dollar bill in their shorts! And, once again to "get a real job honey" you really need to get a life! Like it has been stated in numerous blogs... some girls that work there become Dr.'s, Dentists, Teachers, and successful business women! Since I have worked there I am now a mother, wife and I work for a successful global company! I don't hide that I used to work there, I am proud of it... and I am proud of the person that I have become.

47. To Get A Real Job

As a person very familar with the Hooters Concept - I have to tell you that your comments greatly offend me. I invite you to go into any Hooters in the country and take the time to get to know some these "dim wits" and "dippy girls" that you speak of. If you had actuallly taken that time before posting your very unintelligent remarks, you would be surprised at the girls that you would meet. As one other person posted - you would meet girls who are working their way through college to become Doctors, Lawyers, Dentitst, Educators, and the list goes on and on. Your other two comments offend me as well - these girls are nowhere near one step from having dollar bills stuffed in their shorts. Again the vast majority of these girls are working their way school- not taking their clothes off on a stage in some dimmly lit club, strung out on God only knows what what drugs, and doing that little extra for the right tip. And for their Moms. I have met a number of the parent of the girls who I work with. Some of them thought like you at first - but after they took the time to come in and see what Hooters is all about - they were fine with their daughters working for Hooters.

For you assume that Hooters girls are "dim wits" and "dippy girls" is about as fair as me making the assumption that you are some uninntelligent, unemployed person who has nothing better to do with their day than sit around and post comments like this. And before you pop off about me posting this - I have NEVER visited this sight until today when this story and your offensive comments were brought to my attention by a customer that called me. I can also assume that you speak so highly of the Radio City Rockettes and The Dallas Cowboy Cheerleaders ( or any NFL Teams Cheerleaders for that fact.) I wonder - do you leave the stadium at halftime, or scamper to change the channel on your televisiion everytime one of these dim witted, dippy, one step from having a dollar bill shoved in their shorts girls is shown? See the similarity - They don't hire men to do those jobs either.

Again I invite you to go into any Hooters and take the time to get to know these girls that you feel you can speak so freely about. Who knows - if you are as good looking as you think you are - maybe they will offer you a job. Until you actually take the time - Get A Life!!!!

48. Well, job requirements for guys wanting to work at Hooters - 1) Breast Implants. DD is good., 2) Castration - can't have that huge unsightly bulge hanging out, now can we. 3). Total Body Waxing. A hairy body is NOT a Hooters body...4) Get Real. The food is fair at best. Lousy most of the time. Why bother.??? I didn't see Richard Simmons signing up as part of the class.

49. they shouldnt win. ive worked at hooters for over a year and to answer the age old question: who wants to see a DUDE in the uniform. hooters girl are NOT waitresses, they are hooters girls. men arent hired to be servers because there is an image to be sold. they are denied the same way actresses are denied roles in movies. you woundnt rent 'tomb raider' to watch rosie odonell's shower scene would ya?

50. LOL...well I have been to Hooters...and "get a real job honey" is pretty dead on with her/his assessment of the dimwits and the dippy almost-strippers...though most probably don't have the talent required to dance and wear stripper heels so they ended up at Hooters, lol...why get mad at "get a real job" for telling the truth? if Hooter girls are so happy and contenet with their choice to be second grade strippers then good for them...they have nothing to defend, right?

P.S. 95% of strippers are ALSO "putting themselves through school" **wink wink**

...just sayin.

51. If they can work at hooters, then I want to see girls in the NFL, and NOT in a cheerleader capacity. I want to see them out on the field taking hits and throwing passes.

52. Ok so instead of letting him have a lawsuit against Hooters why not hire him. But since it is just shorts and a tank top that they wear then he should have to wear the exact same uniform. I doubt if he would really even show up for work but atleast he would be given the exact same opportunity as the girls do.

53. Lol. What a dumbass (the guy mentioned in the article). I just searched for Nikolai Grushevski on Facebook and found his blocked profile.

As a woman who's eaten at Hooters, I don't see the big deal. I'm sure Hooters has men who work in the kitchen and behind the scenes so they can't really say that Hooters is discriminating when they do in fact have male employees. They just don't happen to be servers.

54. Some dudes make a living sueing, got to be on the low side of life to do that! Not like your homeless or selling yourself for sex on the street!

55. jesus, youve gotta be kidding me! its crap like this thats rotting this country from the inside out! nonsense lawsuits are clogging the legal system up when real issues that ARE LEGITIMATE are put off for years. This is almost worse than the McDonalds lawsuit where the lady spilled coffee on her lap. ITS COFFEE, YOU RETARD! ITS GONNA BE HOT! but, everyone wants to make a quick buck without doin a damn thing for it. why are our insurance premiums so hight? because all you have to do is have your feelings hurt, or stub your toe, and then you can sue whoever you want. This all makes me sick, and this country is becoming a joke more and more every day. i served my time in the military, and fought for freedom. But if i had known that THIS was the kind of freedom i was fighting for, I never would have joined in th first place. These people should be shot, and make the world a better place.

56. Any of these MORONS that posted that they think that guys should be hired as Hooters girls....I just have no words. I used to be a Hooters girl. Hooters would lose soooooo much business if there were dudes there with chest hair sticking out of their shirts, leg hair sticking out of their pantyhose and their balls hanging out of their shorts!!! Come on!!!! Seriously? Really? Sure, hire guys, but people would come there to either laugh at the waiters and be entertained by the freak show.....or just be sick! I wouldn't apply for a job with the Chip and Dales!! The women in that audience want to see sexy men just as much as 90% of the men that go to Hooters, go to see sexy women. No, we are NOT all equal. Some things are for MEN and some things are for WOMEN! Plain and simple. These idiots need to stop being lazy and earn their money the good old fashion way instead of being lazy.

57. I'd love to see Hooter's Guys. I hope they succeed so I can enjoy Hooter's wings with the guys. ;)

58. Businesses should have the right to hire whomever they want for a job. If you don't like it, get a job somewhere else.

59. Why don't they just start their own restaurant that caters to WOMEN...??? I'm sick of going to Hooters 'cause there's nothing for me to look at while my husband ogles....but some nice hunky men in skin tight outfits..yum....I'd pay to eat them...er...go eat at their restaurant! I'm sure they can come up with an equally outrageous name and mascot...like a squirrel holding, um, tree fruit....I bet they'd make a fortune!

60. I believe hooters already hires men to work in the kitchen to buss the tables. This is obviously an attempt at trying to get free money. There are plenty of restaurants out there to apply at, that would be more than happy to hire a competent individual to wait tables. Would these guys try and sue a strip club, because they wouldn't get hired as dancers? I hope these guys are laughed right out of the court room. If they do win then they should be REQUIRED to wear the uniform, short shorts and all.
