Spouting Spaz

See, this is what I mean about people going out of their way to be offended:

When asked about his play on the last day at Augusta, Woods replied: "I putted atrociously today. Once I got on the greens, I was a spaz."

Disability organisation Scope, formerly The Spastics Society, said of Woods's comments: "Once again, Tiger Woods demonstrates that we are two nations divided by a common language.

"Although in the U.S. the term "spaz" may not be as offensive as it is here in the UK, many disabled people here will have taken exception to his likening a golf stroke to that of 'a spaz'.

"UK disability charity Scope is confident that Tiger Woods would be devastated to learn that something he said could offend his fans, disabled or non-disabled."

Because there are legions of drooling spastics who like to play golf, of course. Why, Tiger may have alienated one tenth of one thousandth of one millionth of one percent of his fan base. Horrors!

Here's a philosophical question for the Spaz Society: If a tree falls on a bear shitting in the woods while a spaz wobbles by, is the squirrel offended?

Doesn't make any sense, does it?
