That was here in Champaign, several years ago, where Hooters opened a new location. The Hooters girls were bringing out free drinks to the protester(s).

How does this relate to pinball? I operated an X-Men LE at that exact location for a few months last year, before the regional manager demanded it be removed immediately. Why? To give an exact quote: "Pinball belongs in dive bars." That was one of the funniest and most ridiculous things I have ever heard about pinball. Because, you know...Hooters is classy, and stuff.

Nope...I haven't even peeked into that thread.

I simply saw tracelifter's post in this thread on page 2, and knew those pillars and parking lot looked very familiar. Then I saw "Champaign" on their shirts, and I remembered the "controversy." Hard to believe that was almost ten years ago! Here is the only blurb I could find about it from back then:
