The Problem With Tiger Isn't a Mistress in The Closet
In our celebrity and sex-scandal obsessed culture what has gone under the radar in the Tiger Woods affair is his morally corrupt business dealings. Woods has made close to one billion dollars in endorsements over the course of his career.
Most recently, Tiger's 100 million dollar deal with Dubai Land, Tiger Woods Golf Course and Resort, has come under scrutiny. The city of Dubai, the financial heart of the United Arab Emirates, now teetering on bankruptcy, is a hub of the illegal sex trade and commits among the largest number of labor violations anywhere in the world.
Woods, who has publically professed to be on the side of civil rights, has never spoken against Dubai Land, even though human rights organizations have urged him to.

And another one...
I'll just add this to the list of why I cant stand Tiger Woods.
Update: Tiger got a ticket!
He got a ticket for carless driving (failure to maintain control) and that's it. Investigation was completed with no other issues. Chick highway patrol officer is on tv giving information on all the reports that can be obtained, how to obtain, where to obtain and how much they cost!
He was treated like every other citizen in the state of Florida.
DONE! IT'S OVER!

When I still lived in RI
When I still lived in RI there was this boy of about 12 who organized a celebrity charity golf tounament. All the big names in golf came to play, except Woods. Story was that since there was no purse for the winner, he wasn't interested. I've thought he was an asshole for years because of that story.
I hope his wife did give him hell.

Givng hell is one thing..
physical harm that causes a bloody nose and semi-consciousness is another, I'm thinkin!
@kdhales
Exactly
I chose that word specifically to avoid sounding like I was advocating violence.
Considering my job I can say with some authority that the damage I saw to his vehicle is consistent with his injuries if the airbag didn't deploy and especially if he stormed out of the house after an argument and didn't fasten his seatbelt. All plausible.

Oh my, the airbag didn't deploy?
I'm smelling a Tiger law suit...but he was driving a Cadillac...can't get blood from a turnip!
@kdhales
The airbags did not deploy,
The airbags did not deploy, but the damage was to the right front of the vehicle. Often the sensors are located in the left front of the vehicle so right hits may not deploy the bags. Also, they are specifically designed to not deploy in hits less than a certain mph because otherwise they'd deploy in sudden stops and that can be more dangerous than having them not deploy in a low speed collision.
Happens all the time that they are working perfectly and don't go off. They are very expensive to replace so besides false deployments being dangerous if they went off all the time your insurance rates might go up to pay for the extra charges.
