Boner Candidate #2: WE WARNED GRAMPS…PRESSURE WASH YOUR HOUSE OR FACE FORCLOSURE
77-year old George Watson faces foreclosure after his HOA imposed over $9,000 in fines for neglecting to power wash his house and remove a ladder and bucket from his yard. Watson missed several notices about the violations because he developed a fear of checking his mail during the pandemic. Despite his fixed income from Social Security, Watson’s attempts to negotiate with the HOA have been unsuccessful, leading to a lien on his property. While the HOA’s actions are legal, many argue that forcing foreclosure on an elderly person is morally wrong, especially given the emotional and financial strain he is experiencing.

Boner Candidate #3: THE BRO’S FAVORITE BREATAURANT
Twin Peaks is a chain of “attentive service” restaurants, resembling rustic mountain lodges with scantily-clad servers, that has found success by pushing the boundaries of what its competitors, like Hooters, began with. While the food and cold beer are notable, the real draw is the servers revealing uniforms, with occasional theme weeks that include swimsuits and lingerie. However, the chain has faced significant controversy, including a deadly biker shootout at one of its locations and allegations of widespread sexual harassment and exploitation of female employees. Twin Peaks’ founder, Randy DeWitt, created the chain in response to Hooters’ decline, opting for a more upscale vibe and more revealing outfits for the staff. Despite the problematic issues, the restaurant’s formula has proven successful, with the chain growing rapidly and expanding internationally. The brand also faces criticism for its objectifying culture but continues to attract customers with its cold beer, food, and provocative marketing.
