Hooters Booms: The Women of Hooters Step Forward To Clean Up Gulf Oil Spill

With a series of failures in the Gulf in dealing with the BP spill and complaints over the lack of action from the government, help has finally arrived by one of the most trusted groups in America: the Hooter girls. Hooters has announced that its employees will be donated their torn pantyhose to help absorb the oil — that is over 100,000 pairs pantyhose.
Just to save you the math: 100,000 pantyhose will supposedly be enough to absorb one million gallons of oil. The pantyhose will be used for Hooters booms.
There are roughly 15,000 “Hooters Girls” in the US — though they are now technically oil abatement specialists.
Hopefully, this is not the basis for Obama’s sudden decision to speak to the nation on Tuesday about the spill. The people at NOAA might not take too well to the President surrounded by Hooters girls and pledging progress with his new team of oil specialists.
