FAA halts plane taunting Tiger Woods..



AUGUSTA, Ga. —

An airplane that towed banners taunting Tiger Woods about his sex scandal during the Masters has been ordered to stop until it undergoes minor repairs.

Kathleen Bergen, an Atlanta-based spokeswoman for the Federal Aviation Administration, said Friday that FAA flight safety inspectors issued the order after meeting with the plane's pilot.

The single-engine Cessna made two flights near Augusta National as Woods played Thursday in the first round of the Masters, close enough that the banners could be read from the course.

The plane was flying for a company called Air America Aerial Ads based in Genoa, Ohio. Bergen says inspectors were responding to a request by FAA air traffic managers in Augusta.

Jason Howe, an employee for the advertising company, said Friday the plane's only problem was with a seatbelt that failed to meet FAA standards. He said the company was complying with the order to fix it.

I hope they get it back up there..I think it's right on point and funny. Of course, considering it's Woods..the fix is probably in..

1. What's the motherfucking point, Upton?
Maybe these fucking schlocks should go into business and do it to EVERYONE who cheats on their significant other. What a novel idea. Ass fucking holes.

2. I don't like it either
No one on this board supports what Woods did to his wife. But we also don't support cheap shots like this.

4. Wife,..not SO
Edited on Fri Apr-09-10 07:56 PM by Upton
but I could care less who or how many women Tiger screws. People are making far too many moral judgments...

What bothers me, and has caused me to lose any and all respect for this "man", is these wimpy sex addict excuses. Like the banner says.."Sex addict? Yeah. Right. Sure. Me Too!"...

Yeah. You're right . Doesn't exist.

7. Whatever Condem..
if Tiger is a "sex addict" then millions of other men are too....and that's BS..

Tiger should have stood up like a man and told everyone to fuck off..it's his own private business between only him and his wife. Instead he folded like 12 year old kid..
