skymama 35 #2 April 8, 2010 Again? They might as well give you your own show! I heard one radio announcer call it "creepy" this morning. I don't agree. It brought back memories of standing before my own father, knowing I screwed up and knowing that I disappointed him and it was far worse than any kind of physical punishment he could have given me. Bottom line- everyone is talking about it this morning, so I guess it has served its purpose!She is Da Man, and you better not mess with Da Man, because she will lay some keepdown on you faster than, well, really fast. ~Billvon Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ryoder 1,397 #6 April 8, 2010 Something I read this morning on the Tiger Woods issue that was excellent: Quote... And in the premiere episode of the current season, “South Park” took on Tiger Woods. Regardless of how you felt about that episode's quality, Parker and Stone acted once more as call-out specialists. This time, their target was everyone who acts incredulous and surprised in the wake of rich, successful, famous men who are caught cheating. Woods famously spent weeks in a rehab center for sex addiction, but we all know that was nonsense, an olive branch to the media and his family who sought some kind of retribution for his behavior. Leave it to the guys who make fart jokes to be the only ones to call Woods out on his BS and the media who willingly went along with it. The value in calling everyone out is that it's all-inclusive. The targets aren't selected for any reason other than they've drawn Parker and Stone's ire. And, in the case of Tiger Woods, it's not even the specific person who has provided “South Park” with material — it was culture's reaction to that person. ...

wolfriverjoe 1,351 #10 April 8, 2010 I hadn't seen the ad before. I'm seeing what Tiger is doing as "just enough" to get everyone off his back. A lot like the Mark McGuire "apology" a couple months ago. Whether or not he's really sorry, or just sorry he got caught is the real question. Just another reason I won't buy Nike, I guess."There are NO situations which do not call for a French Maid outfit."

Every radio show I am listening to is saying "check it out on our website". They don't even need to buy commercial time to air it - everyone is doing it for them.

Nike doesn't own Woods, or his image. You can be sure of that. I'd even venture that Woods is using this as an opportunity to further his public apologies, in a venue that doesnt allow any follow-up questions by the press.

grimmie 177 #22 April 8, 2010 I think Earl is spinning in his grave over all of this! If he was still around he would kick Tiger's punk ass all the way up and down each fairway at the Masters! The Skydive San Diego guys have some interesting thoughts about Tiger. He did AFF there a few years ago. Tiger is probably buying Jesse James some drinks. Talk about taking the heat off of a guy!!!
