wouldn't expect anything else from most of those classic rock shock-jockies I have heard.

Those guys will twist anything into something they can make fun of..... in the tackiest way possible

No doubt.  FWIW, this particular station is pretty mild, but these are the kind of unintended consequences that happen.  These DJ's spin is what was on the air in the heart of our membership strength, 1000 miles from Denver.  

Whatever the fallout might be, it will be minimal compared to the ridicule incurred when National banned water guns and water balloons.

Some would classify ... drinking, smoking or cursing immoral too. 

Drinking and smoking are banned from scouting events, cursing is highly discouraged.

Well, they all build on one another don't they.

Some would classify homosexuality, transgenderism, drinking, smoking or cursing immoral too. I wasn't sure how detailed you all get when discussing things, so was not sure what most would classify as immoral activity. I suspect all ends of the spectrum are represented here, so I did not want to single anyone out for their beliefs.

 

That's right anything in moderation is ok, even the occasional "objectifying" women.  I don't drink and I don't smoke anymore!  and I don't believe either are to be done around the Boys.  These girls where NOT in their work clothes.

I don't know of many VFW posts and American Legion posts out there that don't have a bar connected to them and hold raffles on a regular basis, yet no conservative groups are out there making a big stink about them chartering BSA units. 

 

Then there are the beauty pageants at the fair....  How is that not just as demeaning to women as Hooters and the women don't get any money unless they win.

Well, I can't speak for the VFW but the AL has a mission similar to the BSA.  More importantly, the rules of the BSA are well defined when it comes to alcohol and gambling.  This particular event using the Hooter's girls as staff, in their corporate logo wear, would be the equivalent of having a Budweiser sponsored water station.

My point was: what is more immoral VFW/AL CHARTERING a unit or Hooters SPONSORING one activity?  Both sell alcohol.....

You're absolutely right about VFW and American Legion having bars.  So do the Knights of Columbus.

 

The Catholic Church has recently asked all KC's to move their unit charters over to the parish youth ministries.

So does our local pizza joint that charters a Cub Pack.

Never heard of such but I guess desperate times call for Desperate measures.  Our Local pizza places don't do beer.

I disagree, they were all wearing Hooter's logowear, so they were in work clothes, representing the establishment.  It doesn't matter if they are wearing orange hot pants or hooters visors, the brand carries the image and the image is sex.  Like I said above, it's the equivalent of a Budweiser-branded water station.  As long as it only had water it would be ok by your logic.

Again, the brand projects the image.  The BSA has an image of teaching kids to make moral and ethical decisions.  The AL/VFW have an image of Veteran still serving America.  Hooters has an image of using sex to sell wings.  One of these things is not like the others......

Each one of these "things" is derived from the moral background of the listener.  To some innuendos mean nothing....if you know what I mean.  For others it doesn't make any difference, if they are selling alcohol, they are selling alcohol.

 

It's just a matter of one's background

Really, where I'm from, the two go together as a 7-course meal, a six-pack and pizza.

I thought we weren't afraid of breasts anymore?

As long as they are doing something practical (besides making $ for their CEO).

I see no issues with it.  They were decently dressed and appropriate.  This is a non-issue.
