Everything in this pic is a joke, except for the tees (available here)

According to a new survey, New Yorkers are.*

*New York Asian drivers…you’re SOL. If it makes you feel better, we Californiasians aren’t far behind you. But let’s focus on the positive, work together, rebrand the hell outta this phenomenon, and make Bad New York Drivers the new meme, K?

Tiger Woods Mans Up By Wearing Man-Jewelry

For the first time since the Nov. 27 car accident that outed him as a cheater, Tiger Woods answered questions from the media in two separate interviews with the Golf Channel and ESPN.

Both interviews were billed as Tiger’s first since Nov. 27, and both seemed as carefully scripted as his Feb. 19 press conference. To each media outlet, Tiger declined to discuss what really happened on Nov. 27 when he cracked up his Escalade in the middle of the night, saying everything was already “in the police report” and anything beyond that was a “private” matter. When the Golf Channel’s Kelly Tilghman asked Tiger how he crashed his car, the golfer did nothing to improve the rep of Asian drivers everywhere by saying, rather obliquely:

[Insert Asian Drivers Joke]: Korean Woman Passes Driver’s Test On 950th Try

Cha Sa-soon, a 68 year-old woman in Jeongju, South Korea, has finally passed her driver’s exam after four years, $4,200 in application fees, and 950 attempts.

I know many of you are thinking, Commence the bad Asian drivers jokes *groan* or Granny’s undoing all my good work and the sweet rep we’ve been building since Fast and Furious: Tokyo Drift, but I’m really stuck on the fact that she failed her written test 949 times.

I mean, isn’t being awesome at test-taking our goddamn birthright?
