Default This whole Tiger Woods thing is retarded.

They won't stop talking about him anywhere on TV.

I don't see the big deal. A famous billionaire cheated on his wife... what's new about this? Why do people care?

The worst part is that when the news first started circulating about him crashing near his house at low speed with no alcohol involved, I thought maybe he was sick or something. I was actually concerned.

But no, just his wife pissed at him. Because this has never happened before...

And everyone keeps demanding explanations, like its anyone's business. As long as he replaces the tree and pays to replace the pump he broke, I don't see the big deal.

Now, had he injured someone, that would be a different story. One that might actually matter.

The major News Networks are dummying down the world (if you/we let them). Everything is so tabloid and ethnic/racial line driven it's damn scary.

That's why I don't watch TV.

I haven't even bothered to look into any of the articles (and I don't watch TV, so it's easy to avoid that).

It doesn't affect my life.

I agree. You'd think there's a lot more important things to cover than who's playing with Tiger's wood.

The majority of people around think hes a great guy with excellent morals and values, etc..

When people who've actually met him/talked with him knew he was a dick all along..

So the news must "tell the world". Because most people didnt know, and the ratings, etc, etc..

Yeah, sooooo many real things to worry about and they decide to take attention from those to put on this guy's personal life.

I get what you're saying, but I don't see how people could have come to the conclusion that he was such a "nice guy." I've seen no evidence to that or the contrary ever

I guess all the "Yeah, I own!" fist pumping advertisements made people think he was nice

You sound like a kid who still didn't realize that society is equal to ****. It's all about the ratings.

I guess I fall into that category; up until now I thought he was a decent guy, if perhaps a bit high-strung. So for me this all circles back to the "So why the hell did he marry someone who looks like



if he's just going to cheat on her?" thing. But that's a personal bugaboo of mine.

Black man (regardless of what Tiger thinks) married to a white woman. Of course they are going to blow this up.
