No Sense of Humor
After reading an illustrated article in The Picture, a local magazine, Richard Face, a member of the Australian parliament, got boiling mad: the article featured a restaurant in Newcastle, NSW, that has nude chefs to complement their topless waitresses. (Sample: “Kylie, 22, decided to hang her hooters over the hotplate when she got fed up with being a lingerie waitress.”) This just “contributes to the image of Newcastle as a sleazy city,” MP Dick Face complains. The restaurant’s manager says the article was simply a tongue-in-cheek publicity stunt. (RC/Australian AP) ...And thanks to you, Richie, it worked.Original Publication Date: 05 February 1995
