The raping of a Tiger

[Frank Delicious]

He's a pretty low key guy though. It's not like he was making the news all the time before this. No matter who you are, you probably don't deserve to have all your dirty laundry aired out all over the world.

A person can make a lot of money and still deserved some privacy and respect.

Oh I forgot he wasn't a celebrity, just some rich guy none of us have heard of. When you're on top being a celebrity is oh so sweet. When you bring some dirty laundry out don't expect the media to all the sudden not care who you are.

He is a celebrity because he can play golf better than any human being on the planet.

He did not pursue celebrity. It came to him.

Maybe that's the exact reason why then?

[garublador]

Is that why he quit being a touring pro once he made enough money to live comfortably and turned down endorsement deals that would raise his visibility?

We don't know if he was looking for it or not, but he sure didn't turn it away. He's had that option for a long time now and hasn't taken it.

No one is disputing that W. He is a celebrity, he get's what celebrities get be it good or bad.

I don't know what you're trying to say here. Are you saying he deserves it because he is a low key guy?

also am I agree with Bradley Walker on something?

If you're good at something you deserve to be have your personal life torn to shreds in the world wide media.

Seriously though, are you saying a celebrity, even a low key one like Tiger or Leonardo Di Caprio deserve to get all their personal failings aired out for the whole world to see just because they happen to be very good at what they do?

I am saying that it is my opinion that those with the least perceived dirty laundry, get the hammer twice as hard when we start to find something we didn't think we would.

[roadkill]

also am I agree with Bradley Walker on something?

Well yeah. Since Brad is right about a lot of things I'll forgive him for being on the wrong side of this one.

oh, ok. Yeah I agree with that. Everyone loves to see a saint turned into a sinner.

Seriously though. Live by the sword, die by the sword. And what are you saying? That because someone makes a ton of money they need a certain amount of protection due to their celebrity status? Sure, let's let them make money off media then when it comes to light they we're unfaithful or breaking the law lets back that media off a bit. If it wasn't for TV Tiger would be WAY less rich and people would care WAY less about this shit.

[Flipflat]

I like how no one gives a damn that the dude was chased around and possibly hit by a his wife weilding a golf club. If the roles were reversed, she'd be getting all the sympathy, and you'd be hearing plenty of: "no wonder she cheated on him! look at what a monster he is!"

Perhaps she was a pshycho wife?

Not like it's any of my business or anything.

[Frank Delicious]

^ this is a pretty unfunny joke.

What I am saying is that just because a person makes a ton of money doesn't mean they deserve to have their personal life broadcast across the world when it comes apart. Tiger made money off sponsorships and golf, not the media that is now tearing him apart so the sword that is ripping into him is not the same sword that made him all the money. I don't have a problem when celebrities like Britney or Lindsey Lohan have their dirty laundry aired out because they seek out the attention. Tiger hasn't sought out the attention though so I would say he deserves the same privacy as everyone else.

But then again everyone loves some good schadenfreude.

Police officers don't deserve to be shot at for trying to protect innosent people. Fire fighters don't deserve to be injured trying to put out fires. However, they all know that the bad things are a possibility when they decide on that career. As the higest profile golfer in the world he has to expect something like this to happen when he gets caught in this position. He chose to be in that position and he chose a very high profile lifestyle.
