Hooters for India
Published by MadMan August 24th, 2004 in BusinessGlobalisation supporters rejoice! The restaurant chain, Hooters, is planning to come to India. Known for its “Hooter girls”, I wonder whether they will set up shop in Mumbai. The darn Shiv Sena, vigilant guardians of our “culture”, is sure to shut them down within a day.
And if they open in the south, finding, er, “qualified” staff amongst the generally petite women here, is going to be challenging.
In other news, IndiaTimes has pioneered a new service called a blog. This confirms their reputation of being trailblazers in technological innovation and offering new value-added services to their users. Mahendra Swarup, CEO, Times Internet Ltd, said, ‘IndiaTimes has always been about introducing newer, more useful services that are user-friendly, while at the same time making its server error messages less user-friendly. We coined the word “blog” because it’s a cool adaptation of “web log”, which is our term for a diary on the Net. We currently have 5 gazillion users which will increase to 20 gazillion in the next 6 months.’ He also added, “Take that, Rediff and Yahoo!”

Please note, Hooters is a ’strong and exiting’ brandname. Spellingnazi where art thou!
South Indian women are ‘petite’? Now, this is something that I can’t agree to. I think they are generally taller and more, er.. big?!
Or have my eyes been cheating me so long?
whoa.. cool :)
it used to be one of our fav haunts out here, until one day a Hooter girl said “Long time no see”. That scared us off..
Yeah! What do you mean South Indian woman and petite?
MadMan, don’t judge south India by bangalore’s anorexic “chix”.
Please welcome Aadisht to the spelling and grammar Nazi club!
And if I remember right, Silk Smitha (she of the thunder thighs and heaving bosom) was distinctly South Indian.
Yeah! What do you mean South Indian woman and petite?
I grew up in Delhi and in my anecdotal experience, the women there are more plump than here.

Please tell me where I can find full-figured women who don’t look like telephone poles. I’ll be there in a flash.
Madman, I really don’t know where we can find a woman who’ll match the standards of full-figuredness that you’ve set by your personal example.
And I don’t know *any* place where women like telephone poles… Haven’t you heard that size does not matter?
I do know a few for whome poles of a different kind appeal.
whom* absolutely unintended e at the end of whom.
I hope the whome who stalked Jivha doesnt take offense.

Ravi, please don’t make fun of my lifelong thyroid problem.
And I don’t know *any* place where women like telephone poles
I wrote “looks like.”
Change your glasses :p
I hope the whome who stalked Jivha doesnt take offense.
Ravages, that Whome takes offense at everything. And you’ve just confirmed her theory that “most men are dickheads”. :p
Oh ye dirty minded creatures!!! Wash thy mouths with soap and rub your eyes with ganga jal, you filthy one-track minded no good pervies.
Yes yes poles are very appealing. Especially those that come with a cherry on top.
Hey Ram, you boys have corrupted my angelic pure virginal soul.
MadMan, might I recommend Patiala, Punjab?
The only caveat is that the full-figured women over there usually have more facial hair than the men.
Yaz, a man after mine own heart, thanks for making the Silk Smitha reference. Absolutely essential to this discussion. I could make some highly qualified additions to the list of buxom south-indian women, but Silk seals the argument.
MadMan: “… and I’ll be there in a flash” sure, sure ;). Maybe you scour Kerala for a nice Mallu Maami - last time they were spotted in the wild, they didn’t look anything like telephone poles.
Hooters eh dunno what the fuss is all about. Well apart from the chicken wings that is. What are the indian hooters girls going to wear? chanya cholies with their navels showing?:) Did you know that hooters in abq has a bible study club.
Someone please go to the Sulekha coffeehouse and post on this topic. This guy, Ams, seems to believe I am an ABCD idiot for thinking Hooters in Mumbai won’t work out. Desi girls, generally, don’t have hooters. Also, I have never heard of any Indian eating chicken wings. Please weigh in.
