Tiger Woods Accident

[DGuller]

Sleeping in a pile of money every night must've really gotten to him.

I think it was the "with many beautiful ladies" part that got to him, or at least his wife.

[Malthus]

Still won't talk to the cops about it.

If it were Jim Brown, Ike Turner, Jackson Browne or any other number of celebrities known for incidents involving slapping the missus about a bit,  then I'd be concerned.
But it's Tiger Woods.  C'mon.

Seems the allegation is that the missus was slapping him about - with a golf club.

[Brazen]

Why did Toger Woods drive into a fire hydrant and a tree?

He couldn't decide between iron and wood.

[DisturbedPervert]

He lived?  What a disappointing ending.

[KRonn]

Yeah, poor Tiger. What a hellacious life he must be living.

He's living the good life, wealthy, famous. But I was alluding to the fact that it comes at a cost for being a celeb, too high a cost sometimes. Paparazi, salacious stories, all the media attention, true and false stories. That's all too much for a lot of celebs. Our culture pays too much attention to celebs, and while people idolize them, at the same time people seem to find some dark joy in tearing them down.

Supposedly the police want a search warrant. Is that normal in a suspected case of spousal abuse?

I was alluding to the fact that I don't have any sympathy for celebrities whining about being...celebrities.

If he doesn't like the attention, he is welcome to quit showing up in so many commercials. Stop playing golf, refuse to give interviews. The attention will go away soon enough.

Our culture does not pay "too much attention" to celebrities - it pays exactly as much attention as people who buy tabloids and watch the news are willing to pay to see it. How is that "too much"? How much would be "just enough"?

*You* are paying attention to it right now - why? Why do you care if poor Tiger is getting too much negative attention, as opposed to Joe Schmoe who drove his truck into the ditch after Mary Sue refused to give him his weekly hummer?

Are you giving poor, hounded Tiger "too much" attention, just enough, or not enough?

Why the fuck do the police care?

If this was some nameless nobody, would they be sending multiple cars out to beg him for an interview over and over again about some potential crime?

No, I haven't been paying much attention to it. I've been switching the news when ever the story comes on. I find it ludicrous that we focus so much on these celebs, whether praising or tearing them down. But it's a story, it's out there, so I see it and deal with it.

[Berkut]

But if "we" (and by that I assume you mean "you" since it certainly does not include me), did not focus on celebrities, then they would not be celebrities.

That is my point - bitching about how people care too much about celebrities, and how this is some kind of injustice to them, makes no sense. If people did not care about them, they would not be celebrities, and would not be rich and famous, etc., etc.

Bitching about people prying into their lives, while they cash the checks those very same people pay for, is bloody ridiculous. With rare exceptions, being a celebrity is a rather voluntary thing - if you don't want to be one, then don't be one, and nobody will care if you drive your car into the neighbors tree.

Of course, you may not be able to afford the house in the tony private neighborhood anymore, and your hot trophy wife might leave you, and you won't be fabulously wealthy, and worse, nobody will care about you at all.

Boo fucking hoo. Poor Tiger.

Apparently the new chick is incredibly hot.

meh.

[Ed Anger]

Also, this is interfering in my Lindsay Lohan deathwatch. 

[Berkut]

Isn't his current wife pretty insanely hot as well?

Really, how can she bitch now? Dude likes insanely hot chicks, and they like him...
