Why is the media and the general public so upset with Tiger Woods? Is it because he cheated on his wife Elin Nordegren, or because he is still trying to guard his private life from the stark spotlight of public scrutiny, or because he invoked his inalienable right to silence and turned away Florida cops several times?
Tiger Woods is not the first public figure to cheat on his wife, and he definitely won’t be the last; as I write this someone else’s sexual transgressions are being exposed and exploited. What gives us the right to think we own Tiger Woods just because we buy his stuff and love his golf game? Wasn’t it just a few weeks ago that we learned about late night comic David Letterman’s workplace affairs? It hasn’t seemed to affect Letterman; he’s still on the air. He’s even cracking jokes about Tiger’s misfortune. Like Letterman has room to poke fun.
I want to know how many of the journalists who feign disappointment over Tiger’s philandering have themselves cheated on their own spouses? They’re saying Tiger’s a hypocrite; well, I bet they are, too. Same for us everyday, ordinary folk with no claim to fame. How many can say we’ve been 100% faithful?
Tiger’s a role model, and it sucks that this scandal has tarnished his image; however, should we be teaching our children that life is perfect? That there’s no room for error? Can we give Tiger a chance to make it right with his family, foremost? How he handles the situation privately with his family will be a true testament to his character, not what he chooses to say and convey to the media and the public. Like the song says, “we fall down, but we pick ourselves back up again.” Give him a chance. Why beat a man down, when he’s already fallen?
This whole saga since Thanksgiving is only further evidence of how the media and the public builds celebrities up only to ambush and pounce at the first wiff of blood in the water. Two words. Michael Jackson.
Jason Whitlock has an outstanding article on foxsports.com about the Tiger scandal called “Tiger’s real crime? Not playing the media’s game.” Check it out.

The Tiger Woods multiple affair sex scandal reveals that even the “perfect” image of the beloved, golf phenomenon has been masked by the DateFace. We’re not privy to his private life, nor should we be; however, what if Tiger was a womanizer before he got married? That’s probably a logical conclusion anyway. Once a womanizer, always a womanizer, right? So, if he’s cheating on his wife and they’ve only been married a few years, he probably just loves the ladies, and one at a time just won’t do. Of course, if you’re a single man, that’s not an issue as long as all parties agree to it. If you’re married, however, that’s adultery; it’s frowned upon by society.
Tiger’s young; he’s only 33 years old. Why did he get married? He’s a celebrity, of course he’s going to have a public façade versus his personal truth. Which face did Elin know? Was she aware before they married that he may like variety? Did she think that she could change him and that once they were married he would only want her? Or did Tiger portray the wholesome image to Elin that he has portrayed to the public?
Men tend to like a certain type of woman. Have you ever noticed that when you flip through pictures of a man’s ex-girlfriends, that they all look alike? Have you noticed that the women Tiger has been linked to look alike; however, they look nothing like his wife? So, which is his type? Did he marry Elin for other reasons than love, to add a perfect looking wife to his perfect looking image? Was she the exclamation point to a well-crafted image?

Why has the media not covered this profound statement that was supposedly stated by the initial child who claimed that Michael Jackson molested him? Seems to me the media and a bunch of Michael haters refuse to cover this while jumping on any negative coverage.
Read Jordan Chandlers alleged confession(http://globalgrind.com/content/778859/JORDAN-CHANDLER-MJ-DID-NOT-MOLEST-ME-I-LIED/ ) (www.techbanyan.com/…/jordan-chandler-admits-lied-about-michael-jackson) (http://www.ampedasia.com/forums/jordan-chandler-michael-jackson-did-not-molest-me-t-15028.html).

The World Health Organization calls the recent cases of swine flu in Mexico and the United States an emergency public health concern for the world. Reports of swine flu include Kansas, Texas, California, and New York City, New York. What is even more problematic is that this flu virus is affecting young and otherwise healthy people. The symptoms of the virus are fever, lethargy, loss of appetite, coughing, runny nose, sore throat, nausea, vomiting, and diarrhea.
“Swine flu is caused by a virus similar to the regular flu virus that circulates in people every year, but is a strain that is typically found only in pigs or in people who have direct contact with pigs” (CNN).

I saw a man wearing a face mask today at Walmart. I didn’t think much of it at the time, except that maybe he didn’t want to catch germs. Perhaps it was a precautionary measure because of the swine flu outbreak.

The police in India are investigating an undercover reporter’s claim that Rafiq Qureshi tried to sell Rubina Ali, a 9-year-old child who starred in the Oscar winning movie “Slumdog Millionaire.” The child is siding with her father by saying he did not try to sell her; however, his former wife says he did.

Sometimes lawmakers take things too far. How can sending nude or semi-nude pictures, or even pictures in bras (from child to child), be considered child pornography? Not that it is right or moral, however, we all know sexual exploration or exhibition is a normal part of growing up for some. Why criminalize actions that have no ill intentions? Labeling children sex offenders for sexting is ridiculous. The rightness or wrongness of sexting, as well as the punishment, should be in the hands of the parents. Let them deal with the sexually inappropriate behavior of their kids.
Yes, we have to find a way to keep up with the evolution of technology. Yes, we do need to protect our kids from exploitation and teasing (sending unwanted pics around and causing embarrassment for the child in the unwanted pic); however, a permanent criminal finger print is not the way to do it.

“What is this world coming to?” is a familiar refrain these days. Is the world just going to hell or was it always this bad but we didn’t know it without the 24-hour news cycle? A Boston University college student, Philip Markoff, has been arrested in connection with the murder of a New York City model, Julissa Brisman, he may have met on Craigslist. Markoff, 26, did not previously have a criminal record. Brisman, 26, was found unconscious with multiple gunshot wounds at Boston’s Copley Marriott Hotel on April 14, 2009. She died later at the hospital. According to the police, Brisman advertised massages on Craigslist and the confrontation between the model and the suspect, Markoff, became deadly after an attempted robbery. Markoff may be a serial attacker; there is evidence that there may be a string of robbery victims that he “cased” the same way he did Brisman.

Roland Martin was on the “Tom Joyner Morning Show” talking about the controversy brewing over Miss California’s answer to a question Perez Hilton asked her while participating in the Miss USA beauty pageant. He made some good points that I definitely agree with. Why ask a question that you didn’t really want the answer to? Why ask a beauty pageant contestant to share her political views? This is America; everyone’s entitled to their opinions. Did she lose the competition because the judges voted against her because of her answer (including Perez Hilton who is gay)?
Why is her answer so horrendous? The most popular, powerful Democrats believe marriage should be between a man and a woman: President Barack Obama, Vice President Joe Biden, Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, former President Bill Clinton (who passed the Defense of Marriage Act), to name a few.
Defenders of the right to gay marriage say that the decision should be up to the states. Well, didn’t California voters VOTE NO!!!!
Beauty pageants affiliated with Donald Trump always seem to have controversy surrounding them. Is it just a coincidence or publicity stunt?

QN: “Is it racist to make comparisons between Michelle Obama and Oprah Winfrey? Is it unfair to compare them at all?”
How absurd…there is no comparison. Yes, both are strong, intelligent, powerful women who happen to be African American. However, the comparison is unfair and demonstrates an insensitivity in regards to race. They are two entirely different women in different leadership roles. Why wasn’t the comparison done with strong caucasian female counterparts instead?
