Hooters Denies Posting Rape Joke On Facebook
The joke in the form of a photo features a woman wearing revealing clothing with the caption “Exhibit A: The proof that she was asking for it your Honor.” Soon after PolicyMic Executive Social Editor Elizabeth Plank exposed the joke on Twitter, Hooters replied that they had lost control of their page and that they would take the picture down once they regained it.
Later that evening, Hooters posted on their Facebook page that their page was hacked and that all the admin privileges were suspended. They also mentioned that they have regained control of their page and are working with Facebook to examine the source of the hacking.
The Atlanta-based chain is known for its scantily-clad waitresses.
