I don't care how many whores he's fucked, I really just don't give a shit, but his redemption act disgust me.

[AugustWest]

Man I don't give a shit about celebrities personal lives.

I admire Tiger Woods for being a good golfer -- that's all.  I don't know or care much about the rest of his life.  In a way I like him better after this scandal because it's proved that he's not a soulless, golf-playing, nike/gatorade/buick/gillette shilling ***** and is subject to human frailities like the rest of us.

[pmcd9]

I suppose I'm more disgusted with Nike than I am with Woods.  They have turned the failings of his personal life into a marketing campaign and it's just beyond the pale.

surprise, paul, they're a giant corporation

they would kill babies on live teevee if they thought there was a dollar's profit in it

[JorgeFabregas]

I think they just weren't sure how to break the ice. They were going to begin marketing him again at some point.

[Carlos del Vaca]

It sure as hell got everyone talking about Nike.  But while everyone likes to say there's nothing bad about free publicity, I just don't get how this will translate into selling more shoes.  Brand awareness, whatever, but I don't see anyone who wasn't fully aware of Nike already now being more motivated to buy their products.

Deadspin had a wonderful time thinking up lines to heckle Woods at the Masters.  "Try not to fuck anyone on your way to the green!"  (Of course, actually doing so would likely result in one's being expelled from the course.)

"Try not to fuck anyone on your way to the green!" 

In a row?

I fail to see the threat.

Oh come on, there would be lots of money in that, and it hasn't been done. Yet.

I guess I don't get this. Woods didn't sign to Nike with a gun to his head. Wouldn't he have some say in the campaign?

Yeah and also he can get mad pussy.

[littlefallsmets]

My comment would be something along the lines of "getting in eighteen holes".

ALSO: the parodies of his creepy ad with his dad's voice, some of them are meme-worthy.

The Shawshank Redemption one and The Room one, especially.

[greenkoolayd]

Yeah and also he can get mad pussy.

having a lot of money is like instant miracle grow for the vein, i guess.

I don't care about a guy who is good at hitting a ball with a stick. I understand that it can be enjoyable to hit a ball with a stick, but I don't see the point of watching someone else do it, so I don't care that he is good at it. And I care even less where a guy who is good at hitting a ball with a stick puts his c*ck.

I try very hard not to feel that it's a sign of the downfall of our civilization that this is big news. Because really, there are plenty of more important reasons to worry about the downfall of our civilization.

[pmcd9]

something about a moral compass.

Re: Tiger Woods Makes my Soul Hurt

That's the result of having a borg soul.  No individual has control over the collective.  The right idea can spread through the collective unchecked no differently than a super virus in a biological or computer system.  Lately it was the Tiger infidelity meme.  Soon it will be another meme.  The only way for an individual to stop experiencing it is to unplug.  It's not easy to do.  If there is a TV or radio in your workplace you might even have to quit your job.  But you've probably been wanting to do that anyway.  Alternatively you can try to start your own meme by going postal.  But that's getting harder and harder to do these days.  Some guy even flew a plane into an IRS building and everyone was like *ho hum.* 

This touamb board may not be running on the most sophisticated software platform on the planet.  That's probably what you all like about it.  The god forsaken hash tag tiger meme tweets face book updates stop at the door.  They don't get in unless someone manually brings them in.  Once inside, they don't automatically replicate like so many tribbles.  Still, all members of touamb do have so many connections to the collective, so in a way, even when you're here, it's sort of like you're still connected, only slightly less directly.  TOUAMB has not been approved by the collective.  It's like the train station in the Matrix.

Wow, groovy, that read like a beat poem, man.  Did I just walk into City Lights or something?
