    Hooters: Free Food on Mother’s Day

    With their scantily-clad waitresses and focus on sports TV, Hooters restaurants aren’t normally thought of as the place to bring your mother. This Mother’s Day, however, the restaurant chain is encouraging moms to ditch the fancy restaurants for some free chicken wings.

    Hooters this week announced that on Mother’s Day 2013 mothers who bring their children to a Hooters can receive a free (up to $10) entree with the purchase of a drink. No coupon is needed, but each mom must be “accompanied by one or more of her offspring,” according to the Hooters website.

    “Kids of all ages are encouraged to invite their mothers to Hooters for special treatment on Mother’s Day,” said Dave Henninger, CMO of Hooters. “The free entrée deal is just one way for Hooters to show its appreciation for hard-working moms and to provide a relaxed atmosphere to enjoy a delicious meal with the family.”

    This isn’t the first time Hooters has offered a Mother’s Day deal. For Mother’s Day 2012 the restaurant offered moms 10 free boneless wings.

  • Tis The Weekend For Happy Mother’s Day Wishes

    In the United States, Mother’s Day is being celebrated this Sunday, May 13. While folks rush out and buy flowers, cards, and candy, some other, more creative folks are using web video to get their message across. It’s certainly the day and age for that sort of thing.

    The first offering is a video called “Thank You Mom,” and it’s a Vimeo creation, courtesy of Michael Marantz. To get the content, Marantz went around New York with his camera, asking people if they’d like to volunteer their feelings of gratitude for the matriarchs. According to the filmmaker, the responses were great:

    …some unexpected, some adorable, all brought a huge smile to my face. Thanks Reggie Watts for being in the video. I would be so grateful for all of you to share this video on Facebook and tag your mom or one you know in the post. My goal is to make many moms happy!

    Judging by the video, Marantz succeeded very well:


    You can share your collective “aww” in the comments.

    The next video is another supercut, courtesy of Flavorwire. This time, featuring some of the best advice moms have given. TV moms, to be specific. Considering some of the shows that are represented in this video — Cosby Show, Arrested Development, The Sopranos, and The Wire, there’s no telling what kind of motherly wisdom you’ll find here. With that in mind, it’s probably advisable for you to ignore the bulk of it:


    Hey, at least scenes from Mommy Dearest didn’t show up, because nothing says motherly love like beating the hell out of your children with a wire hanger.
