My dreams of T-Dub died today…
I am winding up my work day and I am in the midst of watching Tiger Wood’s apology video. There are a few things that need to be said:
- Why the fuck does Tiger have to publicly apologize for anything that he has done? In no way have any of his actions impacted the public at large. I don’t understand why people expect him to apologize for his actions. It has something to do with the perverse relationship that people have with public figures in America. Whenever they do something “wrong” they need to make some sort of public gesture for their actions even when the actions may be extremely personal in nature. Usually people say it has something to do with being a role model to kids or with keeping sponsors but I don’t think that really answers the question. These press conferences have become modern day public whippings. The movie star or athlete gets up to the podium delivers a apology (which is immediately judged as genuine or not) and they are slowly “forgiven” by the world at large. It is bizarre and I see no reason for this ritual other than for regular assholes like you and me to revel in someone very powerful rolling in the mud with the rest of us plebs.
- Tiger is not a sex addict. He likes fucking a bunch of different women… does that remind you of something? Yes – every single man on the planet. If having threesomes with 9′s and 10′s who are throwing themselves at me then chalk me up as a “sex addict”. His issue is not with him dipping his wick in any blond skank with a pulse but rather with the relationship he had with his wife while he was doing the wick dipping. He lied to his wife and thought he could get away with it. He was a rich and powerful guy who could fuck anyone he wanted and he did, with impunity. He was so absorbed by his power and fame that he thought he would never be caught only to have his life come crashing down around him in an Ambien induced demolition derby in his driveway.
- At one point he talks about how he had hurt his wife, his kids and his mother. He then looks over to his mom and for some reason I laughed. 1 – this is brutal, I couldn’t imagine talking about this kind of shit in front of my Mom. It is the equivalent of getting caught beating off by your parents when you are 35… ouch. 2 – I looked up “dour Asian” in the dictionary and her picture was there. The only thing more terrifying than her mug in the front row of the press conference would be if she was behind the wheel behind me on the highway.
- Of course he goes through how he is going to get “spiritually balanced”. If you are going to play the addiction card you might as well use the religious redemption angle on this as well. Its pathetic, every time someone fucks up they say they need to look to God to help them through. It is such bullshit. Tiger doesn’t need God, he needs a therapist and a masseuse who can keep a secret.
Bottom line is that Tiger did not heed any of my suggestions. Shame on you Tiger. You are taking the hard road and trying to atone for the transgressions. I wish you luck in getting your marriage back on track and getting back into her panties again. It is going to be a long hard journey that in the end may not be what you really want or have wanted. I hope she is worth it.
Oh yeah, one more thing, if you have not read this article yet, you really need to… comedy gold!
