So, do the real nurses have a bitch or are they being over sensitive?

I must have slept through the bit where your common or garden workaday nurse did dress this way:

Next, all the fetish stores or run-of-the-mill love boutiques will be forced to recall all the naughty nurse uniforms, to the great detriment of men and women everywhere :(

and as a person who works with nurses, they tend to work long hours (12+ a day) dealing with rude patients, their family, visitors, Doctors with God Complexes, tight assed Admin Secetaries, JACHO survayers, HIPPA and Ethics administrators, an endless maze of red tape and they have to be precise when dolling out the drugs.

All with a pleasant smile and a positive attitude.

so I tend to cut them some slack with things like this. :)

look at the disclaimer on their website


*The use of the word "Nurse" above is only intended as a parody. None of the women pictured on our website actually have any medical training, nor do they attempt to provide any real medical services. It should be made clear that the Heart Attack Grill and its employees do NOT offer any therapeutic treatments (aside from laughter) whatsoever.

Next thing you know, they'll be trying that with cayenne-covered poultry parts and scantily-clad bimbos. I swear, people have no shame.

I blame that devil-worshipper Jimmy Buffet and his scandalous cheeseburgers.

I think the idea of waitresses dressng as nurses is a bit crude and cliche.

I understand why the nurses don't like it. Its giving them a bad name. But still, I don't see the point of geting too into it.

And yes. My God that burger looks gross.

Bah! Whining nincompoops who take themselves too seriously. Most likely they're upset because their bloated asses can't fit into those oh-so-sexy uniforms.

Hmmm.... The complaint from the Arizona State Nursing board is on the restaurant's web site. It lists statutory grounds.

In Arizona State A.R.S. ยง 32-1636, only a person who holds a valid and current license to practice professional nursing in this State ... pursuant to Sections 32-1668 may use the title "Nurse"

Although I have trouble understanding how one would confuse this for a real nurse's outfit.

The US is far too prudish. If this place wanted to do it right, they'd have the waitresses walking around in short skirts sans undies, on a mirrored floor, ala the infamous no-pan kissa or no-pan shabu-shabu (http://mdn.mainichi-msn.co.jp/waiwai/archive/news/2001/08/20010826p2g00m0dm999000c.html) places over here. ;) (Then again, I understand nyotaimori has caught on in the States and Germany... look it up, as I'm not sure there are any safe links...)

It looks gross becaus it's probably real. Food designed for photography is rarely edible. *nod*

Yes, brilliant, Daistallia.

If anything, this is what America needs:

MORE SEX! MORE HEDONISM! MORE CONSUMERISM!

(Mind, by being the world's largest producer of pr0n, America wins. At life.)

P.S. I am fully serious about the above. Nothing about the above is irony, sarcasm, or anything like that.
