Hooters offers free meal for moms on Mother's Day ... and bring the kids

Ah, Mother's Day. Breakfast in bed, flowers, a box of chocolates, perhaps, and Hooters.

Yes, you read that right: Hooters.

The chain that's popular for its hot pants and tank top clad waitresses is trying to lure families in for meals on Mother's Day by dangling a free entree of up to $10 for moms. The catch? You have to bring the kiddies too.

Specifically, the fine print says moms “must be accompanied by one or more of her offspring” and make a drink purchase in order to claim their free meal. (Hooters did not respond to a request for comment or clarify if the drink purchase includes soft drinks as well as alcoholic beverages.)

Horny old men aren't the cash cows they once were, and they've floated this press release for at least the past two years, along with their now not entirely fried food menu.

Mom, hooters for moms day.

I hadn't been listening. Told him thought it was chilis

Nope. They want moms in hooters.

Eye rolling went on.

Damn stupid.

It was surreal, even beyond the weirdness of the servers' getups: there were actually families there, with their kids.

I couldn't believe it.
