Honestly who the hell cares. This whole thing has become stupid. The huddled masses are eating this up. Meanwhile 9 law enforcement officer have lost their lives in the last 12 days. Lost their lives, as in never coming home. Leaving behind wifes and children. These people who are not making headlines are the ones protecting the citizen.
Honestly it is painfully evident that the whole Woods debacle is coming to a head. He is not the first one who has epically failed at keeping his putter in his pants. Nothing to see here. Move along.

You are 100% correct and I wish people like you could take control of the news.

That's true and it's pretty sad.
But this Tiger fiasco is nowhere near as bad as the Michael Jackson story was....that overrode all news for a month and took over much of television as well, not to mention that send off at the Staples Center.
the media hasn't been sympathetic to law enforcement in recent years. The BART cop that accidently killed the suspect got 10X the attention that the 4 Oakland officers who were killed did.
The Dallas cop who stopped the football player going to the hospital got 10X the attention that the Dallas cop who died escorting hilary did.
Not to mention the Oklahoma Trooper/EMT fight got way more attention than any of the line of duty deaths have.

Yea it is, and the way I look at it we live in a "whats the score?" culture and quite frankly, I'm sick of it.
You just can't get away from it. I go to the ATM and the machine is trying to promote sports debit cards BEFORE they even give me my money!
I pump gas in my car and the D$$ gas pump is telling me the score!
When I use to ride the bus the TVs in all the buses tell you the score!
And pretty much every TV that is on in the public (e.g. bars, banks, clothing stores) all televise some kind of game that revolves around a ball.
So what's this **** about Tiger apparently having nude photos which are in the process of being reviewed and verified by the attorneys of Playgirl Magazine for purchase and publication??
I don't know about you, but I don't compare someones sudden tragic death, to someone who cheated and just happens to be celebrity.

In terms of dominating the airwaves and distracting from more serious stories that did not involve celebs, they were both pretty bad. I have never seen the media absolutley ignore everything else that was going on in the world for as long a period as they did with the MJ death.
