    Every time I see the above image, before my brain registers that it's Tiger Woods, I instinctively think it's a fisherman who got his hook stuck in his neck.

    Just me?

    I suppose thats commendable.

    I mean most sponsors would just ditch their people in a heartbeat the moment scandal reared its nose.

    Come on people. I could give a shit less what he does with his personal life. As long as he isn't slapping her around or doing something to ruin his athletic gift.

    Of course it's immoral, but I don't watch him on tour day to get a whiff of his morals. I watch him because he's an amazing golfer. Him being an adulterer will not convince me to be one, so leave him alone and let him make his millions.

    I've been playing Tiger Woods 10 for the Wii. I still haven't even come close to playing against Tiger Woods himself, but I hope if I ever beat him, I can unlock this 'chase down tiger' minigame. It would be awesome with the Wii remote, and even more awesome with my zombie golfer.

    I think it's interesting to see society's shifting view on "scandals". Just a decade ago, a "scandal" would have completely derailed a celebrity's career. Now, though, it seems we're almost sick of all this prying and obsession- when Phelps smoked pot, we cheered him on, and now that Tiger's having trouble, we just don't care.

    Progress, I guess?

    Cut him some slack. At least he hasn't been out there being super hypocritical, Mark Sanford style. How I hate Mark Sanford.

    I wonder if their stance would have changed if it marijuana had been involved.

    @Friedhamster: If marijuana was involved, all they'd be reporting on was how hilarious Tiger found Thundercats and how many packets of chips he ate.

    It's an interesting idea for a game to put you in the role of a real-life current event hero. I bet a lot of people hearing about that near-tragedy wondered how they would handle life-and-death split second decisions. And then, oh look, there's a game that puts me in his shoes! Obviously the game wasn't a very good simulation, but that curiosity will get people to try it.

    That's not much of a game... It took more time to let it load and watch the ad than it took to play the game.
