Tiger

Bet you guys are sick of the Tiger Woods stuff in the news. It's a non-event over here. Saw one little thing about it. It's not that Tiger isn't huge here, these fucksticks just have a different idea about dealing with personal stuff in the media. I'm not suggesting it's wrong to care what's going on in Tiger's life, but somewhere along the way we've lost our perspective. Just because someone is on your TV all the time, doesn't make him your friend. His image may be in your living room, but he doesn't know who the fuck you are and you don't deserve to know shit he doesn't want you to. Lucky Tiger's a golfer - that sports fan base is probably the only one that could keep a sense of decency about the whole unfortunate incident.

Me disagree respectfully. He wants all the fame, money, status without the encumberance of public scrutiny. Can't have everything. He has been extremely lucky thus far in avoiding any form of serious public questioning of his conduct (far from perfect) - even in his Stanford days. This man is being taken to well deserved task.

Respectfully, I agree with myself. Canada used to be the kind of place where a celebrity could walk down the street and nobody would stop and bother 'em. We used to have pride in that. Now, we've all become a bunch of 16 year old Jewish American Princesses that think because a person is successful that they owe us something. When did we get this fucking steelworkers union attitude towards public figures?

You'd have to be crazy to be a politician or any other kind of public figure these days, which perhaps explains the somewhat poor selection.

Comparing apples and oranges. Celebrity and anonymity are mutually exclusive. Read this article:

Good article. I totally see your point.

But allow me to retort:
