In what seems like a cruel trick intended to lure a certain breed of romantically inept male to relationship doom, Hooters is touting itself as the perfect Valentine's Day destination. The tagline for the overly buxom restaurant chain's V-Day promotion? "Forget the ring and bring her in for wings."

Aww...just what every lucky lady wants to hear on the most romantic day of the year. Who needs a Hallmark card, chocolate and flowers when you can give her a plate of 20 wings for the price of 10 and a side of...well, you know what.

"Just because we don't have a violin player and overpriced wine does not mean Hooters isn't a great place for Valentine's Day," said Mike McNeil, Hooters VP of marketing, in a press release. "Valentine's day is about love, and what is not to love about free Hooters wings."

Now there's a guy with real heart, and who may just end up spending the evening channel-surfing. . . solo.
