Tiger Woods, who's been thrashed incessantly by the US media over his extra-marital affairs, has submitted a request for extra-marital asylum in France.
Layla Demay on the golfer's behalf, writes for Slate’s French arm. “While in my country one of our presidents underwent an impeachment process for having an affair with an intern, France allowed its president to have a wife, a mistress and an illegitimate child,” Woods might plead, referencing François Mitterrand, “living in tranquility without a single a drop of ink expanded by the media to talk about it.”
“I know that in France, my sexual practices will be protected by the discretion and reserve of which your marvelous journalists are proof,” the application continues.
“When I want to indulge in sex with multiple partners, I will go to the legendary Paris swingers’ club, Les Chandelles, where I can participate in orgies with comfort and intimacy, just like a large number of French celebrities, without fearing that my noble quarters will be exposed in the celebrity press. I know that in France, these are fundamental rights.”
