This scenario needs no introduction. It’s pretty much safe to say that everyone knows about this particular situation at hand… or at least know of. So let’s open up a can of worms. A can that’s been opened way too many times.
The whole Tiger Woods situation is getting to be way too overrated. At first what started off being a private matter for him and his family… turned out to be the year’s most infamous event. The vast forms of media have completely eaten Woods alive. Perhaps it’s because he was a relatively scandal-free public figure. Or maybe it’s because of the excessive amount of mistresses that he’s had relations with. Who knows? Either way, it’s become an event that we can’t ignore… even if we wanted to.
After having relations with what seems like zillions of women, Woods recently issued a public apology via a “press conference.” This is the ironic part… apparently (or should I say allegedly) only a limited amount of the media were actually let into the hearing. If so, can we even really call it a press conference then? Considering the magnitude of his situation, many people were expecting an emotional apology (saying that he learned from his mistakes and blah blah blah)… which didn’t live to these expectations. I think most people were expecting something grand, with flowing tears and heartfelt speech. We didn’t get that. His apology appeared to be so calculated and emotionless, which made it seem not genuine. But hey… it’s not my apology, it’s his. So whatever floats his boat right?
So hmmmm… I can maybe understand 1 affair… maybe 2… 3 is “just peachy” but the ever-ready list of women in his repertoire is a little excessive. Obviously someone was feeling a tad greedy weren’t they?
And now a few of his mistresses are trying to prolong their 15 minutes of fame by participating in some pageant/contest… competing for the title of “Tiger’s hottest mistress”… or whatever. But really… does anyone care anymore? Maybe the general public will have a warm welcoming to these ladies. Most likely probably not. But maybe this pageant could be a good thing for these ladies. Because really, in a couple of months, no one will remember their names. These ladies should just do themselves a favor and stay at home.
It’s hard to have a great deal of sympathy for the man. On one hand, people do make mistakes and he did after all make a mistake (or two, or three…). But on the other hand, he IS a public figure… and it’s part of the job to be judged. And let’s face it… the man likes himself a LOT of ladies.
Considering the ever growing list of mistresses and the severity of the situation I only have one thing to say:
Dear Mr. Woods,
You’re not sorry for the situation… you’re sorry you got caught.

Dear Mr. Woods,
You're not sorry for the situation... you're sorry you got caught.
the media always like to overrate things...hype it up...extend it for as long as they can. it's quite irritating, but i guess if you're in the business, it's what you gotta do.
ReplyDeleteit was funny that the media totally took apart his apology and made him look even worse.
and i totally agree...he had so many affairs. it totally tainted my image of him. these women are so ridiculous. they like the fame. they like being known as sluts? i don't even know. -_- it's so disheartening seeing how society is turning out.
I agree with what you are saying, the whole Tiger Woods thing got completely out of hand. I think the media should have covered something else, and more important, than following Woods (and his wife and children) around trying to get a good picture or quote from him. Especially TV news. The reason why people have become so obsessed with this kind of stuff is because the media is hyping it up! It's a negative in a society with enough negatives. Focus on something else!
ReplyDeleteReally he just needs to say sorry to his wife. Personally, I don't even think he needs to say sorry to the world, famous or not, it is something people should respect. The general American public are such busy bodies or over bearing. They should learn how to mind their own business. And saying sorry to all those mistresses is ridiculous!
