While an increasingly health-conscious public heeds medical advice regarding proper diet and exercise, Jon Basso works hard to support the healthcare industry in his own
way . . . by serving up Quadruple Bypass Burgers in his Tempe, Arizona restaurant, The Heart Attack Grill.
Piled with FOUR half-pound meat patties, the Quadruple Bypass comes with one slice of cheese, one fried egg, three strips of bacon PER PATTY. The burgers are served with the Grill's signature Flat-Liner Fries tm, which are deep-fried in lard. You won't find Caesar salads or Yogurt Parfaits in THIS eatery, whose slogan is "Taste . . . worth dying for!"
Inspired by the popular restaurant Hooters, Jon Basso, better known by customers as "Dr. Jon," opened The Heart Attack Grill in December, 2005 in response to the "insane political correctness [that] stands as a barrier between the average man and his pursuit of happiness." Choosing between a single, double, or triple [Bypass Burger], and between beer and soda should be the only "mental gymnastics" required, Basso believes. Inviting future ire from minority groups and the ACLU, Dr. Jon proudly declares that your food will be served to you "by a pretty girl with a smile on her face who actually SPEAKS ENGLISH!"
The "pretty girls" also wear tight, cleavage-revealing nurse's outfits, making them the focus of an ongoing legal battle. 
The Center for Nursing Advocacy in Baltimore, Maryland has threatened to file suit against The Heart Attack Grill, alleging that Mr. Basso degrades the nursing profession by having his servers wear the suggestive nursing costumes. According to a November 16 article in The Baltimore Sun, Basso received a letter in September of this year from Arizona's office of attorney general "questioning the use of the word 'nurse' to describe his waitresses." In response, Basso put a disclaimer on his site to inform the potentially confused that his waitresses are not, in fact, real nurses.

If this is a backlash against the hijacking of just about everything in the name of political correctness, good on him.
I have just got to the point in Australia - and I assume it's the same in the US - where PC has crept into just about everything, albeit with double standards.
I have heard stories about girly calenders being pulled down in mechanics' workshops - where there is no female staff- but complaints made by women about men complaining about female office staff having semi-nude pictures of blokes on their desks.
That is probably minor stuff, though, compared to some of the other bullshit that goes on. The one thing I do hate is non-smokers OUTSIDE histrionically coughing and spluttering when someone lights up downwind of them (and 10 metres away) so they're not even getting a whiff anyway. I no longer smoke, but in Australia, all cigarette packets now have to have pictures of tumours, fatty arteries, etc, as part of the warning to smokers. They are graphic and unpleasant. However, there is no picture yet on beer bottles of anyone projectile viomiting or bashing up the wife and kids after a big night on the tiles. Unlikely to be, either.
I also find it bizarre that in America, you can be fined $500 for smoking in a public place outdoors in some cities but if you walk two blocks up the road, you can legally buy an automatic weapon and armour-piercing bullets.
The whole thing's just out of control - and I'm politically on the left, way left of what Americans describe as "liberal". It's the loony left and the Chardonnay socialists I object to, which seem to have hijacked most of these issues to their own ends.

STM; I like to think of myself as in the center, but lean to the right on most issues. I do lean left, but we won't get into my political thought process. I do agree with much, if not all, of what you said, EXCEPT for the "...walking down the street and purchasing an automatic weapon and armour-piercing bullets." I need to correct some misconceptions you might have, or your post seems to indicate you might have.
When you say automatic weapons in the manner your using here, it implies a fully automatic weapon, what most people would refer to as a machine gun. You hold the trigger down and it keeps firing until you let up. If that is your meaning, you couldn't be more wrong. As for armour-piercing bullets, well they just aren't as readily available as you indicated here.
I have been a gun owner for well over 40 years, I have my Concealed Pistol Licence which allows me to carry a concealed pistol in 38 States and I'm probably better versed in firearms than the average person. That being said, I should clarify your use of the term "automatic weapon". An automatic firearm is one that uses the reverse energy of the ammunition explosion to eject the spent cartridge and replace it with a live round. One pull of the trigger, one round expelled and one put in its place. Unlike a "fully-automatic" weapon which is hold the trigger down and it keeps firing.
Many firearms, pistols and rifles alike, are "automatic" weapons. Yes, here in America we can purchase an automatic weapon at your local Wal-Mart, BUT you CANNOT purchase fully-automatic weapons anywhere, UNLESS you have a Class 3 Federal Firearms License. Getting that license is very, very difficult. Of all the folks I have known over the years no one has even expressed a desire to own a full-auto weapon. There is just no point in it. I have three automatic weapons, two of which are used for hunting birds and larger game.
Now if your refering to the criminal types, well they can get anything and everything they want, and in any country I might add. But, as far as legal gun sales, fully-automatic weapons and armour-piercing bullets just aren't there for the buying in the U.S.A.
BTW: Been to AU once and loved the country and especially the people. Extreamly kind folks.
