Maybe the heat is getting to me (onehundredandmotherfuckinfivemotherfuckindegrees and of course this is the day that the air on the damn car goes out), but I just saw a news piece that really irked me.
Apparently, the Los Angeles Animal Services is in dire need of money. Last year alone, they euthanized about 19,500 animals- a problem that is surely exacerbated by the fact that people throughout the city simply aren’t neutering their animals. Maybe they don’t because of the cost. Maybe they don’t because it’s an inconvenience. Hell, maybe they don’t because they are giant, flaming douchebags. Or turd sandwiches.
I digress.
One way that the above problem can be addressed is by setting up free (or discounted) spay and neuter clinics for pet owners to come to. Unfortunately, the above requires money. Something that requires even more money is the Animal Services’ five year plan to completely eliminate euthanasia. Lofty, that’s what that goal is.
Anywho, long story short, Hooters saw a need and offered to host a highly publicized bikini contest in the name of Animal Services. At first, AS agreed, but before long, complaints rolled in and the idea was scrapped.
My issue with the above perhaps stems strictly from personal opinion: Hooters ain’t a strip club, it ain’t porn, and the girls ain’t hookers. It’s a restaurant. Sure, it has a more sexual tone than most, but it isn’t anywhere near the filfth it is often held up against. Hell, there are bars that are far worse (Coyote Ugly, etc.). Who knows, maybe my opinion is based in the fact that I’m a modern, independent, 2006 sorta woman. Oh, or maybe it’s because I’ve been brainwashed that being overtly sexual is a good thing by our penis having overlords. Who knows.
My real beef: while watching the article on the news, some harpy from Animal Services had this to say, “We need money. We don’t need money that bad! :rolleyes: : followed by a bitchy, evil cackle:.”
Listen bitch, ya do need the money that bad. Killing damn near 20k animals a year shows that something sure as fuck ain’t right with the way you are operating. When a perfectly legal, widely accepted community member wants to give you thousands of dollars, your dumb ass needs to take it.
Furthermore, fuck the city for backing down from the offered charity. Grow a back bone and take the goddamn money. Or fire the above mentioned dumb bitch, thus leaving her salary open to donate to the cause.
And to this:
*“As a city, we need to stand for something and make social statements,” Petrotta said. “On one hand, we’re disciplining city employees for sexual harassment; on the other hand. we’re aligning with companies like Hooters, whose whole purpose is to exploit women for money.” *
Puh-leeeze. If you really care about those poor widdle exploited women, why don’t you go close down all sex shops, strip clubs, Hooters, bars, or any place that involves women possibly getting “exploited”? And what kind of dumb ass bitch compares sexual harassment to a chick in shorts that delivers buffalo wings and beers to a table for a solid pay and tips? Come on. Plus, I’m sure when people think of Los Angeles, the first thing they think of is, “Ah yes, that wonderful, morally upright city!”
