Let's Get Tiger
The big story for the last couple of days has been the Tiger Woods car accident in Florida. Every major new outlet has led with this story for the past 3 days. And today there was a new conference with a police spokes person handing out information about what was going to happen to Tiger Woods. Well it seems that the police are going to charge Tiger with reckless driving. Right after the press conference a reporter was beside himself over the fact that Tiger Woods would only be charged with reckless driving, with a find of 170.00. I thought this was a strange reaction, it was as if the reporter wouldn't be satisfied with anything less than the death penalty for this car accident. Why do people love to see someone famous in trouble or having a bad time. What kind of a compassionate people are we? I find this behavior very disturbing. Tiger Wood has been a good citizen, father and a very good role model for children. Why do we feel we have to bring him down. Very strange.

Whenever I see a pop-culture story like this blown all out of proportion I cant help but suspect the government's involved in some covert operation for which they've enlisted the media to occupy our attention. Dubai? What economic meltdown in Dubai? 30,000 more troops to Afghanistan for...what? No big deal. Did you hear Tiger Woods is banging a hot piece of ass who isn't even his wife? Here's pics. Over here! Not over there. Look over here--here's the pics!
Our media all seem to focus on all the wrong things. Really important news is given a fly by and crap like this goes on for days and days.
News stories like this make me feel dirty, even when they're only in my peripheral vision.
Our culture can be so salacious.
