Tiger Woods undesirable publicity

They went for the story like a hungry pack of stray dogs would go for a rotting turkey. They barked and whinned, they bayed. Press, that is.

Tiger woods must have been, and still is (and will continue to be, likely) an enigma, something you cannot decipher with commonplace science, religion maybe, only an average paparazzi is a non-believer. So when this thanksgiving-day accident met this hero, they loved it: talk about Delilah discovering where Samson's strength arose from!

I, however, am taken aback, looking at the man, Tiger, a black person, a successful one at that. Sooner or later a scandal had to come, looking back at the long list of celebrities like Tyson, Jackson, Vick, Brown, Simpson, (Marion) Jones. I choose do doubt all I hear for some reasons. One, Tiger is like a goldfish in a glass bowl, he's a popular public figure. If there was anything even remotely resembling what is being written about, then the whole world of scribe is asleep most of times until accidentally awakened by an suv hitting a fire hydrant. Two, these girls are gold diggers. I can easily picture something innocent-looking going to him requesting for his auto, "No, do me a tattoo, i got the pen and all, let's do it in your room, you can't do it here on the poolside with everyone watching....giggle..."; off they go, it takes a minute, cellphone camera of gold digger has incriminating evidence ("been in tiger's lair, i can show you!").

Going by the comments on online news, fact that Mr Woods had a white wife fuelled the fires of the scandal. I am of the opinion that if he carries on with life as usual the whole excitement will die out and whoever wrote something stupid would wish they didn't in the first place.
