Media Loves To Kill Celebs

[onthewhat]

Tiger Woods is still getting hammered, I think his spot as one of the most liked athletes will come to an end

Sure the golf fans may like him but your average joes and the guys who tune in to majors only are not Tiger guys anymore

Golf ratings will go up though because people can't help but watch a train wreck

Imagine ratings of Tiger's first tourney???

The media simply loves making big money dealing the drug of choice to the masses, onner.

It's gotten bad past few years. The gossip sites are making a killing on the web and the CNNs and Yahoos can't say no to that cash so you have mainstream news mixing with crap. That flowed over to the last political race too.

On CNN this AM we have headlines:
Iran frees British yachtsmen and then Hulk's young blonde sporting rock

OMG!! Did Hulk propose?!?! HOLY COW!!!

Paparazzi are whore shit. I would bury all of them if I were to ever be in their situation.

Tiger has admitted to cheating on his website

Brand new post from him

[MartinBlank]

Remember the media when they had their teeth sunk into Paris Hilton as she was heading off to jail?

Why would anyone give a nitwit like her any attention at all?

Yet there they were-----300 deep, all "reporting" it.

We just live in a voyueristic society where everyone has to have their noses in every one else's business because their own lives are so boring and pathetic. Thus, reality TV and slamming celebs for doing the same stuff that Joe Q Public does every day. dumb. What Tiger is going through right now is noone's business except his, his wife, his mistress' and his lawyers. That's it.

Yup you're exactly right. It's just him, his wife, his mistress, his lawyers and my business. And that's it.

I have let my family down and I regret those transgressions with all of my heart. I have not been true to my values and the behavior my family deserves. I am not without faults and I am far short of perfect. I am dealing with my behavior and personal failings behind closed doors with my family. Those feelings should be shared by us alone.
Although I am a well-known person and have made my career as a professional athlete, I have been dismayed to realize the full extent of what tabloid scrutiny really means. For the last week, my family and I have been hounded to expose intimate details of our personal lives. The stories in particular that physical violence played any role in the car accident were utterly false and malicious. Elin has always done more to support our family and shown more grace than anyone could possibly expect.
But no matter how intense curiosity about public figures can be, there is an important and deep principle at stake which is the right to some simple, human measure of privacy. I realize there are some who don't share my view on that. But for me, the virtue of privacy is one that must be protected in matters that are intimate and within one's own family. Personal sins should not require press releases and problems within a family shouldn't have to mean public confessions.
Whatever regrets I have about letting my family down have been shared with and felt by us alone. I have given this a lot of reflection and thought and I believe that there is a point at which I must stick to that principle even though it's difficult.
I will strive to be a better person and the husband and father that my family deserves. For all of those who have supported me over the years, I offer my profound apology.

It makes average people feel better about themselves when people that have it all fall from grace. Tiger is mortal.

Yea, what he has done is repeated over and over again in America by Joe Blow, but nobody gives a rat's ass when it's Joe Blow. I know of other instances similar to what has transpired with Woods in real world with just average peon's. I live near a neighborhood were something just like this happened yet it was the wife that took off drunk and she slammed thru a brick mailbox. They ended up getting divorced and people knew about it, but there certainly was no press or even a one liner in the paper.

Yup you're exactly right. It's just him, his wife, his mistress, his lawyers and my business. And that's it.

ah, go watch American Idol you chump.

[reno cool]

Did he actually say he wasn't perfect? no way

what passes for news is disgusting. I don't think it's the public's fault. Whatever is beneficial for the corporate empire is forced down to the public.
