If you haven't heard by now about all the coverage that some Vietnamese American coffee shops have been getting as of late I just think that you might have to be living under a rock - which is okay, because I myself sleep under that same rock - but this whole round of media coverage has led me to ask one simple thing:
Why is the question of if "There's anything being served not on the menu *wink wink*" always coming up in the coverage and comments of these coffee houses by these television and newspaper reporters?
I mean Hooters - not to offend anyone who works at this fine establishment - imho is just a tad more on the, well, Hooters side of the fence here, but yet I don't really recall any questions ever coming up about if the Hooters' girls serve more than hot wings.
But coverage on Vietnamese coffee houses which have a somewhat similar concept albeit with better taste?
Well then obviously it has to come up.
Because they're Asian.
Because it has to be a front for a prostitution ring.
Because Asian women just can't wear a bikini or something else that's not buttoned up to the neck without wanting to have sex with every person that comes through the door.
I mean seriously.
Get.A.Clue.
