Internationalization of sexism and misogyny: this is globalization. "Hooters, a US restaurant chain famous for its scantly clad, large breasted waitresses, may open this year in Dubai as it expands to the Arabic peninsula for the first time, the company's local partner said yesterday. "I am trying to secure a location to open one restaurant this year. A year from now I will have two to three potential locations," Jamal Al-Shaheen, a Kuwaiti investor, who has the franchise rights for Hooters in Dubai, told Dow Jones Newswires." (thanks Ann)
