Ex-Hooters Waitress Outraged Over Toy Yoda

Former Hooters waitress settles toy Yoda suit

PANAMA CITY, Fla. (AP) — A former waitress has settled her lawsuit against Hooters, the restaurant that gave her a toy Yoda doll instead of the Toyota she thought she had won.

Jodee Berry, 27, won a beer sales contest last May at the Panama City Beach Hooters. She believed she had won a new Toyota and happily was escorted to the restaurant’s parking lot in a blindfold.

But when the blindfold was removed, she found she had won a new toy Yoda — the little green character from the Star Wars movies.

David Noll, her attorney, said Wednesday that he could not disclose the settlement’s details, although he said Berry can now go to a local car dealership and “pick out whatever type of Toyota she wants.”

After the stunt, Berry quit the restaurant and filed a lawsuit against Gulf Coast Wings, the restaurant’s corporate owner, alleging breach of contract and fraudulent misrepresentation.

The restaurant’s manager, Jared Blair, has said the whole contest was an April Fools’ joke.

B’Man: My buddy TR sent this to me and my first reaction was to say that there is no way this woman worked at a Hooters. Look at her tits.

Secondly, I have heard of people looking like their dogs, but this chick looks just like her toy Yoda. How weird is that?

Old, But Not Expired

Funny Stuff from SNAFU-ed

McCain condoms pitched as “Old but not expired”

Well, one could call it a way to combine political awareness with HIV-awareness. Or one could just call it a humorous way to make a buck. The Practice Safe Policy website is selling both John McCain and Barack Obama condoms, from their sister sites, McCainCondoms.com and ObamaCondoms.com.

The McCain site says these condoms are “old but not expired,” while the Obama site says “who says experience is necessary?”

Both site sell a package of two for $9.95, but shipping is an additional $3. PayPal is accepted.

For McCain:

Give your “troops” the protection they deserve, buy McCain Condoms today! This will turn out to be the ultimate collectors item or a perfect gift for grandpa!

• Trophy wife approved
• For the proud, liberal Republican — conservative Republican

For Obama:

These are uncertain times. The economy’s a ball-buster and the surge went flaccid… but now there’s Obama Condoms, for a change you can believe in!

• For the elitist penis
• They won’t leave a bitter taste in your mouth
• When you just want to close the deal

Well, based on the commentary, it looks like the site is bi-partisan. Or non-partisan, rather. They pick on each candidate equally.

Obviously neither campaign is affiliated with these sites…
