pic: Bad Ad Placement

[tckma]

Wasn't there a team sponsored by Hooters? I thought I got a flyer that said "Look for Team 12345's Hooters girls!"

I know I saw a bunch of folks sporting "I (heart) Hooters" stickers. And apparently they have an airline that flies out of Atlanta (but that's the only place I've seen it).

I don't see anything wrong with Hooters & beer.

That team was 1287, Aluminum Assault, from Myrtle Beach, SC.

How do I know this? They were right by our pit at Palmetto. No Hooters girls there, though.

(As for the airline, I checked their website--they're doing public charters to a few places. The hub is in Myrtle Beach, which probably explains how they met up.)

I see nothing wrong with that. A funny setup...No need to get upset about it.

I have a funny story about the Hooters team. Our pit scouts were visiting with one team who had part of their arm fall off, all of a sudden some kid came up and was like "Dude there is a Hooters team here!" The whole team left their broken robot and ran off to the Hooters team leaving one team member holding half of their broken arm. He promplty dropped the broken arm and ran off to join them. Our pit scouts were amazed.

From an advertising stand point its perfect ad placement, Hooters(The restaurant) and beer go hand in hand usually and then you must be drunk to support comcast... just kidding comcast might be my next employer so I will be nice.

That ad placement is perfect. Just think about it, what is the Georgia Dome for? And yes there were Hooter girls in their pit. I know this because my team also dropped everything when they heard it, me too. Teenagers .

bad like christian moral right "bad". theyre arleady hating on hooters. but add in beer, and a fast internet connection

then drive it home with "the most fun a dollar can buy"

i guess you could say the placement was ironic
