Much of the time, criticism of and cases against topless bars, strip clubs and other Hooters-esque establishments run along the lines of patriarchy blaming, claims of misogyny, general trashiness and sometimes sexual abuse. But my problem with the massive bad idea that is the Grand View Topless Coffee Shop in Vassalboro, Maine has nothing to do with any of these things.

Do not put the breasts next to the steaming hot coffee!

Oh, I cringe for the toasted titties that are likely to result from topless women serving titillated customers who may not quite be paying as much attention as they should be to their drinks. It's one thing to have a margarita spilled all over your naked torso, and quite another thing to have half a latte searing 'twixt the cleavage.

According to BlackBook, the coffee shop features all the trappings of a regular topless club, from the bouncer to the overpriced drinks to the 18-and-over door policy. I really, really hope they've got some good health insurance, because this is a recipe for hot, frothy disaster--and not the kind that happens in your pants.
