Hooters Billboard Ordered To Be Changed
Hooters Billboard Ordered To Be Changed
A Hooters billboard in Clearwater that read "Liquor in Clearwater, Poker in Vegas" definitely got some attention, but not the right kind. Mayor Frank Hibbard came across this innuendo coming home from church a couple weeks ago and did not think that it was an appropriate representation of his town. He made the right phone calls and the billboard was changed, however there is still another one up along Interstate 275 in Tampa. Oh and I guess you want to know what the new version is... "Liquor in Clearwater, Casino in Vegas." Classy.
