This year it's "Noosemania".

What will it be next year?

[Red Badger]

So “no noose” is “good noose”?.......

[Tijeras_Slim]

As silly as this PC mania is, it never fails to amaze me that folks do things like this thinking it won’t bite them.

[The Electrician]

Would it be totally insensitive of me to state that Dave Seanor was figuratively lynched by Turnstile/Golfweek?

Ask me if I care...

[popdonnelly]

The management of this publishing company are a bunch of cowards.

[silentreignofheroes]

Buy a copy,,worth more than gold..

[Gator101]

I think this is pretty ironic. I think the editor was piling on Kelly Tilghman by using the image and he got hoisted by his own petard.

Goes to show that you can never underestimate the level of offense the PC crowd can muster.

A noose once bit my sister...

[gitmogrunt]

imo .......a ridiculous cover for a golf magazine.

I don't care how the term is supposedly used by the broadcast media in reference to the game, it's still a stupid cover.

[JZelle]

They should’ve played it safe and stuck with something anti-christian.

Welcome to the United States of the Offended.

Get a Rope Lyrics
Artist(Band):Cock Sparrer

From the streets of Aberdeen to the Brighton scene
There’s something going wrong
From the woolacomb shore to the tots dance floor
They all shout “what’s going on?”

You promised us a country fit for a queen
But the queen doesn’t have to pay
You promised us a future bright and clean
For a vote on electionday

Is there no-one left to shout?
There’s some people round here need sorting out
‘Coz for you there’s just no hope

Get a rope, get a rope

Sitting warm and snug on your council seat
In comfy shoes and tweed
With your rules and regs wrapped nice and neat
Deciding what my kids can’t read

We’re sick and tired of your liberal views
What’s politically correct?
Come judgement day, I’ll be trying the noose
And slipping it around your neck

Can’t you hear me shout?
There are a lot of people like me about
But for you there’s just no hope

Get a rope, get a rope

We want to make life one big joyride
But the roadblocks get in the way
We want to fly off the Spanish seaside
But the plane’s always delayed

We want to sing songs on radio 1
but the BBC says “no!”
We want to do deals on a mobile phone
and have something left to show

Is there no-one left to say?
There’s some people round here need blowing away
‘Coz for you there’s just no hope

Get a rope, get a rope
Get a rope, get a rope
Get a rope, get a rope

[Williams]

This is absurd and I’d just like to point out it all proves exactly the OPPOSITE of widespread racial discrimination against blacks.

This, and about a million state, federal and local laws, programs, groups, institutes, seminars, lawsuits, grants, scholarships, set asides, affirmative action, state apologies for slavery, news programs, magazines, tv stations, celebrities,Academy Awards, firings of white officials, scientists, teachers, and on and on.

[Tolerance Sucks Rocks]

With people like this in charge, Western Civ is doomed.

[Jane Austen]

This is idiocy and someone suggested a tiny step towards mind control.

Another thread mentioned the absurdity of the reaction to a noose and that anything can be defined as offensive such as Wal Mart and Macy's Red Star.

The noose was in existence long before blacks arrived in the New World. I recall a Western novel with a noose on the cover and not a single black person or racial comment in the book.

I’m glad the editor was fired. There was no reason to continue the phony outrage over what Tiger himself said was a non-incident.
