Advertisers pull all Tiger Woods Ads from Primtime

Well duh! Tiger has certainly not been acting very prim, now has he?

The good news is that Viagra and Cialis are looking to sponsor someone.

For the good of the sport he needs to take at least a year off. In a single week he has undone all the good he did for the image of golf. Trying to play this season would turn the tour into a media circus.

Tiger made a lot of money with that family man image.

Maybe he should try for endorsements from other industries, like Trojan condoms or the Moonlight Bunny Ranch.

'Course, Nike might stick with him. Tiger gives "Just Do It" a whole new meaning.

Add to the drama, the mother-inlaw was taken to the hospital early this morning from Tiger’s house.

I’ve yet to walk in another man’s shoes. Hard to say how any of us would have handled that much fame and fortune. I’m not excusing the behavior but I hope he learns from this and seeks strength from a Higher Power.

If we pulled all ads featuring people who had trysts on the side or passed out drunk, would commercials exist?

Surely this is a mere racist reaction.

His only mistake was getting caught. The rest of us made the mistake of trusting cynical imagemakers.

We should of learned a lesson after mama boy Elvis.

It’s amazing. I’m not a golf fan, but I’ve seen Tiger Woods a number of times, and he was ALWAYS a class act.

Yet all of this was going on in the background.

All it took was one time backing up his car into a fire hydrant at an awkward time in the morning, and the whole can of worms burst open.

They key lesson I see in all this has nothing to do with golf, marriage, or personal integrity. For me this sordid episode shows once again how media organizations WILL collude to cover up stuff —big, juicy stuff.

It seems like any mag that had dirt on him...? Tiger simply had to offer them OTHER news, and —POOOF!— the story about his marital failing just DISAPPEARED.

It’s very sobering, and it once again shows me how things came to a point where a former gift-shop attendant came to break MAJOR political news (Drudge), or how two college kids with a cam-corder and mini-skirt brought down a very large political organization (ACORN); they did have guts and talent, but they were NOT geniuses —it’s mainly that entities with all kinds of resources, gear, and money that used to really do their jobs simply stopped doing that. Gradually these organizations became integral parts of the machine they were supposed to report on, and here with a sports-angle we have that here, too.

A media vaccuum has developed, and over the long run vacuums cannot persist; something new will get in there, and occupy that space.

What other huge stories are known by journalists, but simply go unreported? Does anyone really thing there aren’t tons of them, with Zero around?

In view of how this has played out I feel more certain than ever that Rush (and many others) will be around for a very long time.
