Name controversy
The name has caused controversy in
Scottsdale, Arizona where the restaurant attempted to open a second location. In response, the city government received four
emails, of which three were anonymous, complaining about the name. This generated a complaint from Mayor Mary Manross who said she was offended, although she did not see the name in a sexual way until the complaints were raised. She asked the owner to change the name, but he refused.<SUP class=reference id=_ref-2>

On
May 15,
2006, the Scottsdale
City Council, by a unanimous vote, recommended the restaurant for a
liquor license from the Arizona Department of Liquor Licenses and Control. One resident, Mary Beth Hollmann, raised an objection at the meeting, saying the name "demeans and degrades women". The state agency has not received any complaints.<SUP class=reference id=_ref-EastValleyTribune_0>

The restaurant has gained media attention from the controversy, and people from the cable television shows
The Daily Show with Jon Stewart and
Mind of Mencia contacted the restaurant for interviews. These requests were initially turned down.<SUP class=reference id=_ref-EastValleyTribune_1>

Ed Helms on
The Daily Show on the
June 27,
2006 show, which included an interview with Harry Morton.<SUP class=reference id=_ref-3>

May 20,
2006 showing of
Saturday Night Live as part of its "
Weekend Update" skit.<SUP class=reference id=_ref-SNL_0>

Scottsdale is also home to another controversially named business, an upscale hotel called Hotel Valley Ho, which can be seen by some to refer to
prostitution.<SUP class=reference id=_ref-EastValleyTribune_2>

In
August 2006, Morton offered
$30 million for the naming rights to the new
Arizona Cardinals' new
stadium in
Glendale, Arizona.<SUP class=reference id=_ref-4>

September 28,
2006, Pink Taco launched a similar bid to rename the
Louisiana Superdome in
New Orleans to the Pink Taco Dome. Owners of the Superdome said that negotiations have not yet begun, and
Louisiana law states that any name change must be approved by the
Louisiana State Legislature.<SUP class=reference id=_ref-5>
