Pink Taco Restaurant Name Causes Stir - GoFuckYourself.com

SCOTTSDALE, Ariz. - The name of a new restaurant in Scottsdale is stirring up some trouble. The Las Vegas-based Pink Taco Mexican Restaurant is scheduled to open its second location in downtown Scottsdale in June.

Nearly half a dozen people in the upscale city recently expressed their objection to the name, claiming it's a derogatory slang term for a portion of the female anatomy.

In late April, the city received four e-mails, three of which bore no names, objecting to the restaurant's name.

One of those e-mails stated: "The City of Scottsdale has a very fine reputation around the world. Let's keep the standards high. Let's let what plays in Vegas stay in Vegas."

Scottsdale Mayor Mary Manross has said she is offended by the name and went so far as to ask the owner to change it, although he refused.

Restaurant spokeswoman Lisa Perez said the company's name comes from one of its menu items.

Perez said the company has not received any complaints or objections about its name.

The original Pink Taco is inside the Hard Rock Hotel & Casino in Las Vegas.

The Scottsdale City Council is scheduled to decide Monday whether to recommend the restaurant get a liquor license. If granted, the restaurant's application would then be sent to the state liquor board for review.

First strip clubs now a restaurant gets picked on in Scottsdale. If you don't like it don't eat there.

Scottsdale's City Council is a bunch of old prude fucks too. They gave Jenna Jameson such a hard time when she was trying to do Babes Cabaret. They wanted to put a law that you had to be 4 FEET away from the dancers. Kind of defeats the purpose doesn't it. When are people in this country going to realize that just because you don't like something doesn't mean you have to deprive everyone else. Yeah, I know, probably never...
