Oops

When it comes to contests, buyer beware.

A waitress at Hooters entered a restaurant held promotion a while back.  It was a pretty good idea... in theory, by her particular chain location.  "How can we increase sales?"  I'm sure there was a "think-tank," a round table discussion, a lot of bickering over who had the best idea.  Finally after a lot of sleepless nights they finally agreed on having a contest.

Not a bad idea.

In fact when you think about it, it was actually a pretty simple idea.  The waitress who had the best beer sales for a designated period of time would win a brand spanking new Toyota.  Wow! Nice prize!  (Sure put all your overblown, cliched brake jokes here), but honestly, think about it.  What do you do? You wear skimpy outfits, serve so/so food and hock beer as you jiggle your boobs to drunken morons who come just to ogle you.  It's a natural.  The more you smile, flirt and jiggle, the more beer you sell.  It's a contest where everyone wins!

Right?

Well unfortunately this isn't a Will Ferrell movie.  This is real life.  And sadly in real life there's always a catch.  So what's the catch?  Let me guess.

The Toyota is a matchbox car!
No?

The Toyota is a model!
No?

The Toyota is a RC racer?
Nope?  Out of guesses?  Just take a look below.




Yeah, that's right.  It's a Toy Yoda.

Ouch.  Good luck with that lawsuit.
