The fact is that from what we can tell, they (excluding his wife) should be called ‘the brunette mistresses’ (to include his identified ‘UK mistress’ who appears to have brown eyebrows). Personally, I believe that Tiger is entitled to his own privacy, that the exploitation of the media is unnecessary and that this is another example of how our society can indecently act upon the quality of life of a fellow American.

But hey, if the media wants to cover this story… I’m going to ask the questions that they’re too embarrassed to ask. ‘ARE WHITE WOMEN THE ONLY WOMEN THROWING THEMSELVES AT TIGER WOODS (who is the first athlete to gross a billion dollars, the best golfer ever and of some African descent)?’ or ‘IS TIGER WOODS RACIST?’

The media will not for one second suggest that Tiger Woods is one of the most popular sex figures among white women in 2009, even if he is by a LANDSLIDE. The race-card will never be pulled in the complication of this escapade and no one will ever ask how he was capable of breaking a barrier of race that felt inconceivable for some in the years that Woods was born. The fact remains that there aren’t too many women of other races HOPING out of their corners of the earth to confess that they are addicted to Tiger’s Wood (pun intended). So what does this suggest about the idea of race in America today?

Secondly, if this isn’t solely an epidemic of white women being outrageously attracted to DORKY, GOLF-PLAYING, 32-YEAR OLD-BILLIONAIRE TIGER WOODS, is he racist? If women of all races, nationalities and religions are following in suit of his mistresses and he’s just “acting against” having the great taste of diversity -HE SUCKS-. Naturally I will admit that after he has spent years in his profession and witnessed his coworkers (or contenders) significant others at work -Tiger may have experienced a limit to the BIRDS (if you will) that are readily available to him-. I won’t go detailed into the capability of a man that can consistently talk to 11 women in a year but I will say, ‘YOU’RE A BILLIONAIRE, IT SHOULD BE LIKE BASKIN ROBINS 31 FLAVORS FOR YOU. YOU FAILED and the MEDIA FAILED TOO’.”

Belmont http://novemlife.com/spots/uncle-fun-1338-w-belmont/ http://novemlife.com/spots/uncle-fun-1338-w-belmont/#comments Fri, 30 Oct 2009 19:57:16 +0000 novem http://novemlife.com/?p=4079 Buried in the middle of the block a hidden gem has lurked at 1338 W. Belmont for 16 years. A store that can turn frowns upside before you have walked through half of the tightly cluttered aisles.  Uncle Fun founder Ted Frankel started out with his first store Goodie’s located on Halsted St. After 12 years at Goodie’s, Ted had an idea to create a haven for the “young at heart”. Ted considers Uncle Fun to be the “safe space on the monopoly board”. No matter where you are from, who you are, or what you are into, this store is the “free parking” space to chill, wander, and have fun. Uncle Fun is packed with toys, gag gifts, pranks, trading cards, post cards, books, magazines, and knickknacks. There are drawers flooded with finger puppets, costume jewelry, bouncy balls, parachuting solders, lions, tigers, and bears…..oh my. Uncle Fun also carries Pez dispensers, unicorns, bobble heads, candy, FAKE VOMIT, robots, and fighting nuns. Top selling items include the Pooping pig key chain, a remote controlled fart machine, and the always popular mood ring. They can supply you with all of that along with the classics like shocking pens, and whoopee cushions. Uncle fun repeatedly surprises its customers with “never seen before” and “I’ll never see it again” items.  Employees are just as fun as the store itself. Going as far as calling on their days off just to see how the business is going and share a laugh. You can ask whoever is working for help; their knowledge and creativity will assist you in finding the perfect item including free personal shopping. From free magic tricks to free Laffy Taffy Mondays, Uncle Fun keeps you smiling all the way out the door. Without catalog and a web site that only has store info and games to play, this is an in person experience. Head on over to Uncle Fun and play a few rounds of the arcade classic Frogger (free), make a wish in the Robot Wish Machine and get lost for hours in all this magical store has to offer.
