Tiger Woods Takes His Shirt Off for Vanity Fair

By PopEater Staff Posted Jan 4th 2010 03:45PM

A bare-chested Tiger Woods graces the cover of the upcoming Vanity Fair, lifting weights in the photos taken by legendary photographer Annie Leibovitz before his sex scandal erupted.

Pulitzer-Prize-winning author Buzz Bissinger delves into the world's most famous golfer's fall from grace.

According to Bissinger, Woods' approval rating following revelations of his reported affairs has plummeted -- from 87 percent in 2005, to 33 percent in 2009.

Bissinger writes that Woods' persona always seemed carefully controlled -- except for one interview he gave in 1997 for GQ.

"What I can't figure out is why so many good-looking women hang around baseball and basketball. Is it because, you know, people always say that, like, black guys have big d---s?" Woods said.

The golfer made a joke by rubbing the tips of his shoes together and describing it as "a black guy taking his condom off." He also made another lewd quip about lesbians and oral sex, during the photo shoot for the magazine.

Woods' troubles began when he crashed his car at his Florida home after allegedly fighting with his wife, Elin Nordegren. After the accident, reports of his infidelities trickled in, first with Rachel Uchitel, then many more women came forward claiming a romantic entanglement with the superstar athlete.

Woods probably has a point in regard to the anatomy of BLACK MALES.

Have you ever paid attention to the SIZE of MOST BLACK WOMEN? I imagine that also relates to the size of their anatomy.

Think about it. Course, if Tiger is so IGNORANT as to believe Jesse Jackson or Al Sharpton is well built in that department, then he needs to get his head examined.

But, dig it, Tiger talks about "black guys" as if he isn't one himself. Dude is SO mixed up! DAMN!
I mean, talk about identity issues....he's got plenty of them!!!

I am not impressed. His chest area is very LOW if you know what mean.

Part Asian,ewww! YUCK.

Yeah, I'm a female and that is my opinion.

I think it's sleazy of Vanity to rerun that 12 year old article. Nothing but another example of the media's greed and need for sensationalism. How ugly!
