are you REALLY THAT surprised?

soooo.... i don't watch a whole lot of TV.... and i don't follow the news very well.... i change the radio station if they start talking.... but i guess there's a buzz about Tiger.... Woods....

so everyone's trying to make a huge deal about him cheating and so many people are getting sooo upset with the news covering celebrities and such....

you may not want to hear it, but here i go anyway....

i think the main reason everyone follows celebrities for the "inside scoop," is because we all have this expectation.... we all have this "understanding" or "belief" that celebrities are some super beings.... that they aren't human, and that they are perfect.... at least that's the image they portray and try to maintain.... and they make a lot of money because of something. tiger is good at golf.... his money should come from golf.... yet most of his money comes from endorsements... a majority of this world are failures.... in fact, if all of us aired out the dirty laundry, there are more failures than anyone would ever admit to.... Tiger is human too. i am NOT, by ANY means, defending such a stupid action as cheating, but oh well. he cheated. it sucks for his wife and kids (later down the road, because, right now, they probably have absolutely no idea what's going on), but whatever. get over it. if she chooses to stay with him, she's stupid. or she's not, whatever.... but that's for HER to decide.... as for the rest of the world.... they just want to know that these "celebrities".... these super "non-human" beings, are, in fact, HUMANS too.... making the same mistakes that many of us wouldn't ever fess up to anyway....

he made poor decisions, just like 99.999999% of the rest of the world....
people want to watch successful people fall apart.... whatever it is, they want to watch them unravel and air out the so called dirty laundry and they want to know that big rich famous people make mistakes too.

hey guess what? i'll let you in on a little secret.... EVERYONE has made mistakes!!!!! whoooooaaa! bet ya didn't see that one coming now did ya?

my goodness! get over it people!!!! or the people who are so irritated with it, QUIT watching and/or listening.... a wise friend brought up a good point.... look at what the media did to the swine flu? blew that sucker waaaaaay outta proportion, right? more people die of the regular "flu" than of the "swine flu."

turn off your TV, put a CD in, instead of listening to radio talk....
make a list of what you need to do and go be productive or something.

Hey there,
What amazes me the most is what the media does when there is no "new" major stories to report.
They resort to Gossip! Isn't there enough coverage of gossip on TMZ and all those other shows to cover this subject? Geez, we are spending BILLIONS of dollars in a war that we can't and won't win. Our economy is falling apart, and all we hear on the news is about is Tiger Woods.. I'm going to cover the subject in my own blog also!

Having said all that...
Do you think his injuries were really caused by his wife hitting him with the golf club?
LOL
