The Irish Borat and the white Tiger Woods – scenes from St. Patrick’s Day parades

Video above I posted on my posterous account earlier. The guy at 21 seconds is clearly Irish and does an impression of Borat for the camera. RTE crew had to have copped on that he was taking the piss. Funny guy though.

I stumbled on a post by Big Mental Disease about the parade in Durrow. Blink and you’ll miss it but it looks like the guy playing Tiger Woods for the day has “blackened up”. Is this a total no no nowadays? Is there not a free pass for it on a day when the world goes round wearing leprechaun costumes and shouting “top o’ the mornin’ to ya” ?
