Tiger Woods gets sampled as The Daily Show colors immigration issue

Tuesday October 30, 2007 | 11:05:59 am 117 words, 4373 views  

In a look at immigration on The Daily Show, correspondent John Hodgeman decides to make things easier for people to identify peoples’ ethnicity in the U.S. via a simple method - using paint samples, something the modern ethnographer should never be without.

For example, host Jon Stewart’s tone works out to be: Fresh Butter.

For Tiger Woods, his African-American, Chinese, Native American, Thai and Dutch Chinese ancestry is captured with a Copper Mountain Russet, with just a hint of Sienna Clay.

“I don’t name them, I just pick them up at the hardware store,” said Hodgeman.

Of course, eventually, all of humanity will be the same color: Soft pumpkin.

That's awesome, I just painted our office "Tiger Woods"... and I was thinking it was just plain old "Copper Mountain Russet, with a hint of Sienna Clay".

"Soft Pumpkin" sounds totally unflattering BTW. Couldn't we all become "Chianti" or "Pinkini" ....or "Audacious" or "Diva" or "Tango"? Those are all paint names and they're lots sexier.

Comment from: TIGER vs. ROGER [Visitor]
TIGER vs. ROGER - Who is more DOMINANT in their sport? In 2008 he will be trying to win his 5th consecutive U.S. Open in a row. Also in 2008 he will be trying to win his 6th consecutive WIMBLEDON in a row. Furthermore in 2008, if he wins at least 3 out of the 4 majors like he did in 2006 and 2007 he will be the ALL TIME GRAND SLAM MAJORS LEADER in his sport. In the history of Golf and Tennis he is the only person to win 3 out of 4 majors in the same year 3 times. It's not Tiger! HIS NAME IS ROGER FEDERER AND HE IS ONLY 26.
