Rabid After a Bite From the Tiger Woods Groundhog
The mainstream media and blogs cannot get enough of the controversy surrounding golfer Tiger Woods. Wherever one turns, whatever channel one watches, whatever newspaper’s website or blog one visits, there are Woods and his mistresses again. And I’m not just talking about the American media, it’s even all about Woods where I live, in the Netherlands.
It’s like Groundhog Day gone wild – without Bill Murray, Andie MacDowell and the groundhog, but with playmates, porn stars, prostitutes and a world famous athlete. Meanwhile, here I am like Murray, so sick of the repetition that I’m wanting to drop a toaster into the tub with me.
I guess it’s pretty interesting to worry about what happens in somebody else’s life if you don’t have one of your own, but I can’t help but wonder what this obsession with Woods and his girlfriends says about the current state of Western culture. We could be talking about ClimateGate or the war in Afghanistan, the unemployment rate of around 10% or ObamaCare, but no, we choose to talk, write and think about a man who has as much self-control as a hungry labrador puppy.
Believe it or not, New York Daily News even created a constantly updated and growing list (with photos!) of Woods’ girlfriends. The list is advertised – yes, advertised – as follows:
While the damage is done on Woods’ squeak-clean image, keeping track of the Tiger’s scorecard is no easy task, so click through to get the latest on the golfer’s sex scandal …
Oh my, how wonderful! Whenever another porn star or Playmate steps forwards, saying she slept with Woods, we’ll know about it in no time. Isn’t that awesome! Man, where would we be without these glorious editors (evidently, with too much time on their hands)?
Well, probably at a much better place. As far as I’m concerned, our obsession with ‘the stars’ serves no purpose whatsoever. It truly is completely and utterly useless.
Come to think of it, perhaps that’s not true. You see, it dumbs us down so tremendously, while demanding our attention nonetheless, that we allow our governments to get away with anything. Entire economies are driven into the ground, legislation based on questionable science is shoved done our throats, but hey, we don’t care, all we need are Paris Hilton, Jessica Simpson, Tiger Woods and prostitutes! I guess that means our star-culture is useful for some: our elected officials who forsook their responsibilities at the very moment they took office.
Man, it’s hard to believe how angry I am. A minute ago or so I even noticed I had to wipe off the foam around my mouth. The result of being bitten by the Tiger Woods groundhog, I wonder?
In the end, WoodsGate may serve a useful purpose nonetheless. At the very least, it has woken me up to the fact that we’re poisoning our culture by spending way too much time on trivial matters, and too little time on things that actually matter. In a way, perhaps that’s also what Bill Murray had to discover in Groundhog Day. Sometimes, life and fiction are eerily similar, aren’t they?
The media spends more time on exposing Tiger Wood’s extramarital affairs as a serial adulterer than they have ever done exploring Obama’s Birth Certificate and all documents that the citizens have a right to know about their C.I.C. Tiger Woods is under a partnership agreement with Joe Lewis, the billionaire Brit who heads up the Tavistock Group. Joe Lewis, the currency trader, lost $800,000,000.00 when Bear Stearns collapsed. The real question should be how much did Joe Lewis know about Tiger Woods extramarital affairs and when did he know it? Tiger has been involved with the Albany Resort project which had a environmental controversy over the development in the Bahamas.
As usual, the media has no clue what they are writing about. Perhaps they should raise some funds to buy a dictionary and find out what a mistress is. From all accounts is appears Woods is a really horny so and so, most top athletes are, the extra testosterone that puts them over the top has some other effects. Morals being what they are today, when opportunity knocks he answers.
In this insane celebrity worshiping culture woman consider it a badge of honour when they are
f****d by a celebrity, as we can see that are only to quick to go public and brag about it. So the story is not about mistresses at all, the story is that he is horny and has f****d a lot.
Michael,
Friend, back away from the toaster. Like a cancer that develops and sends out metastasis, the media embraces and places a strangle hold on the debased, the utterly useless, the disgusting, adulterers, the innane,the fallen, the celebrity of Hollyweird, guttersnipes, and the drivelings of celebrity-turned-politicians. Stating that the media has lost it’s focus is an understatement and now begs a new definition of the term “media”. Since responsibility and integity are no longer in the media’s job description, I will annoint them with the new term of SOTPP (society of the poison pens) where anything and everything goes, and judgement, truth, moral standards and integrity are not required for employment or publication. With corrupt wantabe world leaders destroying economys and governments while imposing rules and regulations based on falsified data and the one world/one currency ideal along with the extreme redistribution of wealth goal, the “media” has joined the ranks of the irrelevant and useless. So, back away from that toaster and keep on observing and reporting the corrupt and devious politicians that would seek to destroy through “hope” and “change”.
Do you mean to tell me that there is a gap Tiger Woods’ public persona and who he is in real life?
Wait a minute do you mean to tell me that Tiger isn’t the multi-ethnic iconic leader who brought change to golf and ended the racial divide on the sport; who ended up just being another narcissistic celebrity?
Oh wait ……
I would like to read more on that blog soon. BTW, pretty nice design your blog has, but don’t you think it should be changed every few months?
