The Tamil Tigers aka the LTTE are a group of Tamils fighting for Tamil Eelam. They were set up to fight against the discriminatory Sinhalese government's attempts to treat Tamils living in Sri Lanka as second class citizens.
However, in their attempts to do this they ended up stooping down to immoral acts - although they did not commit as many attrocities against civilians as the Sinhalese government did.
Whilst they are a terrorist organisation, mostly interested in their own agenda, they are less responsible for the conflict in Sri Lanka than the government. Now that they have been pretty much defeated, the Sinhalese government will have a free reign and if something is not done there is a danger that there will be a genocide. Tamil civilians in Sri Lanka must be helped!

The Tamil Tigers may be bad but they haven't murdered as many innocent people as the Sinhalese government.

Risin' up, back on the street
Did my time, took my chances
Went the distance now I'm back on my feet
Just a man and his will to survive
So many times it happens too fast
You trade your passion for glory
Don't lose your grip on the dreams of the past
You must fight just to keep them alive
It's the eye of the tiger
i'm feeling so good
Rising up to the challenge of our rival
And the last known survivor
Stalks his prey in the night
And he's watching us all
With the eye of the tiger
Face to face, out in the heat
Hangin' tough, stayin' hungry
They stack the odds still we take to the street
For the kill, with the skill to survive
It's the eye of the tiger
i'm feeling so good
Rising up to the challenge of our rival
And the last known survivor
Stalks his prey in the night
And he's watching us all
With the eye of the tiger
Risin' up, straight to the top
Had the guts, got the glory
Went the distance, now I'm not gonna stop
Just a man and his will to survive....
It's the eye of the tiger
It's the thrill of the fight
Rising up to the challenge of our rival
And the last known survivor
Stalks his prey in the night
And he's watching us all
With the eye of the tiger
The eye of the tiger
The eye of the tiger
The eye of the tiger
The eye of the tiger!

Get the eye of the tigermug. "Oh, but he'll vote, sure, just like his colleague tells him to."
"Yes sir, like a Christmas Tiger, he'll nod his head and vote. You're not a senator. You're an honorary stooge. You oughtta be shown up."

Get the Christmas Tigermug. As used for Philadelphia Collins ( RIP ) on The Trailer Park Boys, also takes on the meaning of someone with a horribly protruding belly, and T-Shirts 2 sizes too small. T-Shirts are a must for the full package, a button down shirt would probably just pop. In addition the T-Shirt must also have some image emblazened on it, such as a logo for a local eatery, or most commonly, cartoon or video game characters.
"Hey, look at Francis, he is dressed like a Mustard Tiger!" or "Francis, why must you look like a Mustard Tiger all the time?"
