thai leaders criticize woods
AUGUSTA, GA (Stank Press) - The
backlash over two Amazing Race contestants saying that the only thing they know
about Taiwan is that "we like Thai food" continues to ripple through the
American Thai community, and their attention is focusing on half-Thai golfer
Tiger Woods. Woods has typically avoided public lockstep with his ethnic
community, a fact not lost on his fellow Thais. "We demand that CBS fire the
contestants in question," says noted Thai rights leader Na Songkhla. "Their
subsequently losing the competition is insufficient redress for this grotesque
slight against our people. It's a shame that the most famous Thai in the world
is so out of touch with his community. We demand that he publicly validate what we think."
NFL Hall of Famer Jim Brown concurs, and then some. "Woods doesn't have the guts."
Brown reckons Woods is not outspoken because the golfer fears losing hundreds of millions of dollars in endorsements. "He waited until it was politically correct to come out when he should have come out right away. He should be in front of the cameras, decrying these comments with Pad Thai dangling from his mouth as a show of solidarity with his people."
Woods had no comment for this story. Typically gutless.
