I can't go that far.

If I'm following you correctly, you're essentially saying that commercial organizations with offensive names should be barred from government services. And it's up to the government to determine what is or is not offensive.
It's the second part I have a problem with. Hooters is offensive to many people. I don't believe they should be denied a business license or federal trademark protection simply because they're offensive. I don't think the government should decide whether Hooters is an offensive business.
