Hooters Girl Competes In Contest Thinking She'll Win A Toyota, Actually Wins Toy Yoda

This story is old as hell, but I'd never heard it and it's too good to pass up. So apparently a Florida Hooters waitress competed in a beer-sales competition in which the grand prize was a Toyota, only thing is, it was never spelled, only spoken.

In a funny twist and play on words, Hooters didn't award a Toyota but gave her a ......

A Toy Yoda!

Jodee Berry, the former waitress, is now suing Hooters! Appearantly, she wasn't too amused by the joke!

BWAHAHAHAHAHAHA!! Apparently it was all part of an April Fool's Joke. Seriously thought, that's a pretty cruel joke. Especially because she kind of looks like Yoda. That's how feelings get hurt.

UPDATE: Apparently Hooters settled for an undisclosed amount of money that was more than enough to buy a Toyota. Dammit Hooters, stick to your wings guns.

Hooters Girl thought she was getting a Free Toyota in Drinking Contest [idiotbrain]

Thanks to Shannon, who once entered a contest for an Oldsmobile, won, and got an Alexander Calder original worth millions. Well done!

Funny thing is, I dredged up this classic earlier today in another thread.

OK folks, now I know there is some trouble in our land. I was browsing the Los Angeles Times Sunday paper and could not believe my eyes.
A waitress in Panama City, Fl, is allowed to file a lawsuit against Hooters because she says the restaurant promised a new car for winning a beer sales constest. Instead of a Toyota, she won a toy Yoda of Star Wars fame! She really thought that she was going to win a car. I wonder what and how Hooters wrote the contest rules and how they referred to the grand prize. You know she might have a case. We better keep an eye on this one.
And if you've never been to a Hooters, don't bother. Bad food and poor eye candy is all you get. I've been to 3 different ones and they are all the same. I will not go there again.

Unbelievable folks. This is an update to the waitress who thought she won a new Toyota vehicle. SHE WON the lawsuit! They settled. Jodee Berry, 27, will now get to pick the car of her dreams. I bet she picks a Rav4.
I cannot believe a judge fell for this. I cannot believe that people cannot take a joke anymore. I bet I will get sued for making these statements. It gets more difficult to have fun in this world. Lighten up. Take

nm.... there it is. Damn, almost a decade ago. I realize this was a spam thread, but what point is it.
