The first joke I saw after Tiger Wood’s domestic car crash was “Tiger’s golf is affecting his driving, he couldn’t decide between the wood and the iron!” He had crashed into a fire hydrant and a tree.
Now there is a man who is universally applauded for his dedication and abilities; his golf ability has made him a dollar billionaire and he is instantly recognised the World over; but still cherishes his privacy.
Well what happened at the end of November has probably stripped him of the control of his privacy for a good time yet. The sharks are out sensing blood and they’ll keep circling while there’s mileage. And for the allegations coming out on his extra curricular activities, there is probably an awful lot of mileage!
Contrast this with the wannabee Z lister’s, famous for being famous who play their private lives out in the media. Now the fact the public buy the magazines and newspapers presumably they want to know? Would they sell without them?
But quite strangely the wife of the Speaker of the House of Commons has come out saying she used to binge drink and sleep around! Who cares? She claims it’s so when she stands as a Westminster Councillor no skeletons can come out.
Well my suspicions are she is touting for celebrity status and skeletons have nothing to do with it.
At some point we might find the mass media more concerned on how our economies doing rather than the personal tales of clubs, bars and parties. And we wonder why our youth binge drink!
