I don't consider it titillating or funny, but certainly significant--and worth blogging about. Tish, if women at Hooters are describing themselves that way, I’m interested to know about it.

Is that what she is going to put on a resume in the future? The story makes it seem like the girl is actually proud of her “Doh Hoe” title.

Just because Frank Bruni *so* *badly* wants to show he's cool and down with the <i>Maxim</i> and <i>Stuff</i> crowd doesn't mean it merits a reprint! I'm no radical feminist by a longshot, and I'm certainly not looking for partriarchal oppression under every rock, but it's hard to deny that the word "whore" and its abbreviated forms are more often than not used to intimidate and denigrate women. That it's young women using the term to describe one another--probably for some form of amusement--doesn't make it a fun, good, or even "sexy" thing. Perhaps Frank Bruni's blogging priviledges should be revoked. wow, Jeff! not cool!
