Videogum has paid tribute to all of the children, kittens and foulmouthed TV news anchors who have made 2009 so memorable for Internet addicts. Without further ado, we thank you: Creepy man smoking and singing Carmina Burana in the shower; Guy who paints his face like a California raisin; Cat massage instructor (remember, "petting is just randomly petting"); bad Californian public speaker; dancing babies; more dancing babies; "Kittens inspired by Kittens;" David After Dentist - and of course, Keyboard...
...makes a Tiger-branded product. The company's Tiger Woods PGA Tour golf game, which features a virtual Woods walloping 300-yd. drives, has been a popular franchise, generating more than $110 million in sales.

Minorities commonly face discrimination while looking for a job, shopping or visiting the doctor, according to the report, which labeled as "shocking" the racist, anti-immigrant and Islamophobic experiences of minorities as they go about their daily lives. A 2004 study by Sorbonne sociologist Jean-François Amadieu found that a standard...
...Douglas Murray, director of the London-based Centre for Social Cohesion think tank, insists that European Muslims face the same discrimination as any newcomers. "All societies are unwelcoming to outsiders, but Europeans have been far more welcoming to Muslims than their critics allow," he says. "The onus of these claims of discrimination always seem to go the same way: to show that Europeans are innately racist. Which is a gross insult."
