Should Woods' private behavior not be public?
Should a public figure like Tiger Woods have the right to privacy after immoral acts? Should his sponsors continue their support? Does the public have the right to judge?

I personally don't think it's any of our business. Yeah sure Clinton got a BJ at work, and Tiger's a pimp outside of his marriage, but it's his personal life and we don't need to know about it IMO.
To the news and papparazi: Who gives a flying fuck? I sure as hell don't...

People want press and attention. They use their fame to get endosements and make big money. When they do something bad then they don't want all the free press that they sought years earlier. Tiger had a choice years ago to live on golf winnings alone. He didn't have to sell his sole to the devil and take millions fron Nike and others. It is a 2 edge sword.

I think that if the public would lose interest in the issue, it would just die. The public determines the amount of privacy by supporting the media in their endeavors. The bigger question is why do "we" care?

Why do we care why we care, if we care?

I'm far too groovy to engage in idle gossip but did ya hear? There's a 4th one now. It might save time to list the women he's not bopping.

I was actually making a joking reply to someone's comment that I thought a bit grandiloquent, something like "the really big question is, WHY do we care?" I said, with tongue firmly in cheek, "Why do we care why we care, if we care?" Really, I don't much care. In the case of someone like Bill Clinton and his adulterous escapades in public office, it very much was my business, as his oath breaking in "private" indicates an untrustworthy character who will not keep his promises in "public" matters, either. But this Woods guy just plays golf. Who really gives a flip about that? I'll laugh at the jokes. This guy's a godsend to comedians, and his vocation and the circumstances of the event have lent themselves to lots of clever wordplay. What Mr. Woods has apparently done certainly opens him up to public scrutiny, commentary and ridicule. We all are human and subject to falling, but Mr. Woods has taken it to the point of hubris. Not only are the tabloids up to 10 purported paramours at latest count, this bozo felt he was above having to talk to the police investigating the crash! Next time the police come knocking on your door, send your wife to tell them you're taking a nap and don't feel like talking to them. Let me know how that works. Those of us who have remained faithful to our wives (for over 31 years in my case), despite temptations, opportunities and many examples from "role models" like Mr. Woods, don't need to feel guilty about giving him the horse laugh. Public ridicule is a very effective way of expressing disapproval for violation of social norms. If it were not for fear of public shame and disapproval, many would do whatever they want. They've rejected any religious or other absolute standard of "what's right," and conscience is a pretty flimsy guide. A wise man said "Conscience is like a wheelbarrow. You can follow it, anywhere you push it." Teaching children is a big responsibility. A parent should pray for wisdom every day, IMO. And always remember that they learn more from what you do than what you say. They can detect hypocrisy instantly. And now, back to the latest Tiger jokes. Have you played this game yet? http://www.break.com/games/tiger-woods-wife-outrun.html Or watched the Saturday Night Live spoof? (I was going to post it, but the link I had has been taken off of YouTube.) |

Its none of our business, like that david letterman thing.
Though on the other hand they are "famous" so they are in the public eye alot. He had this coming to him. Being tagged "famous" always has the downfall of the public following his/her life. Its part of the perks of being famous. I remember Seal said once he doesnt mind the paperazzi and all that because he knows that it comes with the tag "famous"....good on him for living in the real world.
