It's just skin people

There is Jennifer Moss??? Earth Friend Jen who rides around on her bicycle topless and in a hemp made -thong - by the way good stuff!!! The police down in Portland says it is "perfectly legal"
Now honestly do you think that the Baristas sound so bad??? Nope and you know I seen more boobs on prime T.V than anywhere!! And besides you don't have to go to the bikini coffee stand if it offends you, you can go to the thousands of other coffee stands in the state.

A woman's naked body is like a work of art, a man's is utilitarian.

Variety is the spice of life. The "AND NOW FOR SOMETHING COMPLETELY DIFFERENT" items are just what is needed when you consider how serious the focus has been & how heavy a lot of the topics have been lately. Far more people than I imagined have taken CURRENT's online & TV format & ran with it. It's amazing how many people really do care enough to take the time to help make it all work in their own way & it’s already transforming opinions, stances & even laws. Keep up the great conversations & broadcasts because this is something special! Life is far too precious for each of us not to be able to control more of our own destinies. You just have to look in your checkbook to see who controls yours & whether it’s what you really want out of life.

Information is the ultimate equalizer in today's world of inequitable distribution of resources, the privilege to rape & pillage our environment being sold to the highest bidder by our gov't to unscrupulous people, & businesses out for the almighty dollar at the expense of everybody else & future generations. Man’s inhumanity against man is despicable. Information is our best weapon (with money a close second) against this unacceptable power struggle consuming the Earth & its inhabitants, in order to give those who want to, the chance at righting so many sick & evil wrongs.

If this story was so repulsive, why did more than half of the poll respondents just have to check this out, disapprove & vote it down? I sense a bit of jealousy here. This thriving business allows these women to make a ton of money wearing bikinis. I know this isn’t for everyone, especially in a male dominated society, but let the free market & city ordnances decide the outcome. What were you expecting, given the photo, when you were compelled to click on the story? The owner couldn’t have bought publicity like this. It’s human nature-our sex drive keeps us alive, sex just happens to sell anything for sale & those not getting enough complain the most. A majority of us agreed a few days ago that given the choice, most men AND women would rather look at a nude woman’s body instead of a man’s. Just imagine how wonderful it would be if this truly was today’s worst story.

I wonder if they'll every intertwine real sex with food. Like buy the dinner special combo, get a free hj ^_^ !
Sex sells, but im not buying.

i love it and what's the difference between this and all the half naked women you see on TV every night swearing and slapping the shit out of each other. Bikini chicks serving coffee seams pretty tame...

The coffee must be awful if their marketing scheme, in a nutshell, is something that Beavis and Butt-head would've come up with.

It's time to grow up and stop giggling at boobies.

God Bless Them.

Would you like some coffee with your Mammaries?

The only reason this is making news is because our society has zero respect for Women. After all, we're just brainless trophies with holes who exist simply to please men.

I say EFF THAT! Those poor baristas- just like strippers- somehow got it in their heads that it's ok to sell their bodies. Yes, that is exactly what they're doing!

Oh man, brewing espresso in a bikini...scary. Getting 200 degree coffee spattered on bare skin *hurts*. Badly. I don't care what kind of tips I'd make, give me long pants and a t-shirt, please.

I wouldn't mind seeing baristas in bikinis...but i live in So. Cal so I guess I'm already used to seeing people half naked all over town

Being proud of your SELF - body included and exploiting yourself as a sex object for cash isnt quite the same. Being closed minded has nothing to do with being sick of the same old crap. Women get tired of being treated like sex objects - yet still prance around knowing the whole and single point of thier appearance is sex appeal...its old, and its not news. Unfortunately the aftermath of these sorry women behaving like this is that our young girls will simply have to work harder not to be affected by being thought of as sexual entertainment first, then a person secondly...if at all. Sorry I even took the time to write about it. This is a big WHATEVER.

NICE!!!!!!!!!!!!

take off the cups and give me the cream and sugar! This beats star bucks anyday, and if people are resistant to change; there's always tea!!

Well, well , well. I spent my formative adult years in the "women's lib" era where the hoot and holler was to not trivialize women's sexuality...well, if the 20-somethings of today are going to do it themselves...?

hey, i got nothing against what they're doing here, considering IT IS just skin. but what the hell? It's not like this is news. C'mon, Current, get MTV or VH1 to cover crap like this like they usually do. Seriously, don't become like them.

Is Hooter working on an infringement lawsuit? Haaaaaa

The Java and the location must really stink if they need semi-naked girls to serve it. I got an idea- how about HOT CUTE GUYS! Yeah.. for me that will work!

Not sure if this is news worthy or progressive. I'm all for restaurants being more laid back... I personally can't stand to wear dorky uncomfortable uniforms, but I wouldn't be willing to serve people in a skimpy outfit either. Thinking about how much more money these girls will rake in as tips compared to me makes me a little angry... we're providing the same service only they're flirting and flaunting. I'm not a fan. I have enough skeezy old men hitting on me when I'm completely covered thanks.

this is crap.

is there a pole in this coffee stand too?

I like...please come to Los Angeles.

that'd sure wake me up, and with a smile

It's the whole American meal: breats and coffee.

Why should these women be ashamed of their bodies?

Nothing like fake tits and a mocha frappuccino?

What is wrong with what they are doing? Is this any different from a Victoria's Secret? These women are very smart.

It's a good thing I'll be moving to Seattle soon!

Interesting that there only seem to be two opposing opinions of the baristas: sexy or inappropriate. Why does our society insist on viewing women's bodies as seductive or shameful, but nothing in between? If this coffee shop had male employees working shirtless, this kind of outrage would never happen.

I love the idea and it works for both the consumer and provider. Sex sells and the concept is not new. In Los Angeles and Las Vegas there are plenty of establishments that have addopted this idea and it has grown drastically.
Now whether the food is good or great or vague its up for discussion on another subject. Either way i give it Two Big thumbs Up!!!!

There is nothing wrong with the beauty of the human body. If people want to use the beauty of the human body to sell coffee, it is their choice. If people want to wear very few clothes to sell coffee to make a buck, that is their choice.

There is nothing perverted about admiring the beauty of the human body, it is hard wired in our genes to do so. It is perverted to expect humans to be prudish or asexual.

It is just skin. I was hoping for a nipple or two, but no such luck.

Hey, my philosophy is, if god wanted people to wear clothes - people'd be born wearin' them.

this is hot. wonder if they put out too.

My goodness. This is such a non-issue. Move along, nothing to see here.

i'd have trouble remembering what i was gonna order... half-naked women have priority in the male thought process.

surely that's gotta be a safety hazard...

I guess some people prefer their cream from the tap

I will never understand the American population's close-minded attitude towards the human body. They're only in bikinis serving coffee and people have an issue. Walk to the beach and have a heart attack then. If the baristas were prancing around and trying to be seductive then I can see having a problem, but they're just serving coffee. People concerned about their kids seeing them... if your kids have gone to the beach then it's nothing new. Grow up people

Everyone keeps saying "sex sells" but this is a rather misleading way of describing this, since I hardly ever see scantily clad men featured in stories on Current. What you mean is "women's bodies sell". I'm sure that the other half of current viewers (hetero women) would be delighted to see a counterpart to this story that catered to their sexual appetites as well, but why do I suspect this isn't going to happen?....

It's funny, its for 1 minute... Why not!? :)

So this is one of the four most important things going in the world right now?

I think it is ridiculous that people would be upset at girls wearing bikinis. They are completely covered! Why is it inappropriate if it is worn somewhere other than the beach? It's like if people were to get pissed off about someone wearing their baseball uniform to the movies.

God, I wish I got to wear a bikini when I worked at a coffee house......

Where is this place at? There should be one in Southern California lol. We r a culture that excepts far more controversial things than this. Let them make coffee in bikinis, this is America that makes money, and their obviously getting a tremendous of publicity. More power to them.

i'm from seattle and have never seen this before! i need to go buy some coffee!

Current is about as informative as MTV. Oh for the days when Current actually stood for something different....

Something about the word "Barista" sounds extremely unsexy to me.

And since I have never written myself a prescription for the typical American self-medicating stimulant cocktail of caffeine, nicotine and codeine...
I'm pleased to know that I will never have to encounter working women of this ilk.

who cares? Obviously you do otherwise this wouldn't be the first story I see when signing onto current. Really, learn what real news is.

Sex sells, she's hot, why was it on CNN? Did they cover Burma after this story? George Bush eating puppies? How about the homeless and jobless? Again sex sells.

If you went out of your way to get coffee to see a sexy woman in a bikini youre either desperate or it's for novelty. Either way who cares? It's not news, just an update for the lonely people in Seattle who aren't old enough to go to strip clubs.

Well, it's not as if this ridiculous "news" story aired on the major media outlets-- wait, CNN?! Oh man... what are we doing, America? WHAT ARE WE DOING?!

Seriously if you go to a restaurant or coffee shop to check out girls in skimpy clothing you’re a pervert.

What's wrong with everyone?!

breaking news...

I'd like to get in on some of their tip money.

oh ya and im not a soccer mom!!! but i do have a child and drink alot of coffee!!!! Just walking by would make me question weather I want my child to notice these ladies are nowhere near a beach!!!I couldnt by coffee there!

Cant i just have a cup of coffee without thinkin bout sex!!!dont get it twisted...they look nice but come on it looks kinda desperate!!!

Seems sex sells on Current too. And I am no prude, but i think this is just not news. With all that is going on in this world that the mainstream media doesn't cover that Current should cover, this is the best we can do? Do some cut and paste articles here from those same MSM cable outlets because they really think it is important, or do they just do it for shock value to get on TV?

What happens when someone has a wardrobe malfunction and they spill hot coffee on themselves?

I like the idea, but I would think the expense of worker's comp claims from increased coffee burns would be a detriment to the business

Hopefully an American revolution and with luck this business will replace the Starbucks that are being shut down.

dont spill the coffe sluts
because those soccer moms out there will protest till
there outta air

Let them sell coffee in my neighborhood. I'll be a regular customer.

As a native Seattleite, it's so annoying to hear about these super-conservative prudes against these scantily-clad baristas. They think it's like sexual harassment or setting a bad example; I don't understand! If you don't like it, then DON'T go buy coffee from them! Ugh.

Actually, these baraistas have been around for a while; when my friend said she was going to work at a coffee drive-thru, I totally thought she'd be standing in her bikini haha.

Well...sex sells, I guess

Who can't do with a couple nice nuggets to go with a cup of joe anyway?

lol @ hooters.. and thats not bared all..... i see a bra.. GET IT OFF!!!!

Cool. Hopefully this is the beginning of a more evolved, mature, and open society. France is a good example, they aren't ashamed of their bodies, , they have a great healthcare system, and they even ratified Kyoto.

The United States is still a backwoods biblethumping nation of consumer goons...

they have this kinda thing with a barber shop in portland (the barber babes), and the ad also has to note that the barbers are not escorts

i want a lap dance too.

Hooter's and food quality should never be used in the same sentence! They should not even be considered a restaurant. But, hey! Big Bosums sell!
