“In the wake of the scandal, the app’s ‘customer reviews’ section has attracted several comments that allude to Woods’ woes. Most attempt humorous commentary, such as, ‘This update is more stable than [Woods’] personal life is.’ Another user made a reference to the ‘Tiger Woods unlockable pimp hat’ as a ‘nice [game] bonus,'” Woyke reports.
“The iPhone game allows users to play as or against Woods on famous golf courses such as Pebble Beach; the game comes complete with 3-D graphics and play-by-play commentary,” Woyke reports. “EA, which also produces versions of the game for game consoles… is–like Woods’ other business partners–standing by the athlete. ‘Our strong relationship with Tiger for more than a decade remains unchanged…we respect Tiger’s privacy…and we look forward to seeing him back on the golf course,’ the company said in a statement.”

It seems as though x’s meds prescriptions have run out again.
How easy it is to judge everyone else.
Who did he hurt?
His wife and his image. But note how all his sponsors have rushed to his defense to save their cash cow form slaughter!
Again, so what? he plays golf. BFD
The biggest question for me:
He has a knockout wife that looks she does and cheats? Some problem, eh?
Tiger deserves grace and forgiveness just like all of us do.
As a golfer and golf fan I say to me this is important because golf is a game where cheating is not tolerated. In NFL or NBA getting away with holding or tripping and such are cheered. But golf is a game of personal responsibility and trust. And his sponsers may say they support him but as soon as they are rid of the current inventory it will be a different deal. I thought Tiger was the best example in sports for our young people. That is why it is such a big deal.
@ Dean Waterman and all other Tiger nutsack lickers:
He’s a tool that made a billion off of his “clean image” and golf.
Forgiveness?
Why?
‘Cause he’s black?
‘Cause he’s famous?
Bullshit. He betrayed his wife, kids, and family.
I hope he keeps losing money and fans.
You celebrity ass-kissers should get lives yourselves…
I find it ironic that black commentators and bloggers are criticizing Tiger for having an affair with a white woman and not the fact that he cheated on his wife.
They are already bitter that he is married to a white woman.
The critics are coming out of Woods’ Work.
If I were watching the public’s disgust with the newly revealed Tiger Woods from an office in the West Wing, I’d be concerned. Because Barack Obama is about as completely manufactured a political character as this nation has seen. His meteoric rise, without the inconvenience of a public record or accomplishments, and the public’s willing suspension of critical evaluation of his résumé allowed his handlers and the media to project whatever they wanted to on his unfurrowed brow.
Ironically, the parallels have nothing to do with race. The Obama campaign did explicitly attempt to borrow the from the then-universal Tiger Woods appeal to allay any discomfort voters might have had with a mixed-race politician. They constructed a persona that would make the American electorate comfortable with a barely-known, first-term senator with a left wing voting record, a deliberately obscured personal and professional past, and no traditional qualifications for high office.
After a year in the spotlight, Barack Obama, hailed as a brilliant man and a creature of destiny who would heal us all, is himself falling rapidly to earth. (Thankfully, his family life remains above suspicion.) The flaws that were airbrushed out of the candidate photos are becoming glaringly obvious under day-to-day scrutiny of his public performance in the White House.
And while it doesn’t matter if another athlete is an adulterer, it matters a lot if the president is revealed to be an inexperienced, excessively ideological, and weak man who is naïve about the world and uncomfortable exercising American power during a time of war. It matters if nothing in his training would have equipped the president to understand what it takes to stimulate job growth, or ameliorate a recession, or to end an overseas conflict successfully. It matters that he is uninterested in the science behind global warming — and wishes to use the issue to amass power and reorder society. It matters that he has no interest in the construction of policy.
Ultimately, Woods is an exceptional golfer with a character problem. Barack Obama, by contrast, is not an exceptional, or even particularly competent, leader. But because so many politicians, interest groups and factions have an interest in his continued presence, no one is ready to reveal the man behind the curtain just yet.
But many voters from both the center and the far left who believed in the Obama magic are increasingly dismayed by watching the human god fall to earth. This is a major problem because the impulse of the betrayed is to tear their fallen deities to shreds.

Silly Obama voters, you’ve been duped.
@Enjoying the Unraveling,
Boy, you sure changed my mind on politics. Glad you stopped by to get me all straightened out! It’s just too darn bad you did not come along before the election to enlighten all the voters in this country. Darn. Well, at least we all know the truth now. Better late than never I suppose.
