Tiger Woods...deserves privacy or not?

**Mikelus Trento** · December 15, 2009, 09:03 AM

Two schools of thought on the Tiger Woods story. One says he deserves his privacy to attend to "personal" matters. The other line says he gave up vast amounts of his privacy as he became a celebrity, one of the best golfers of all time, and an endorser of many products. Personally I think he forfeited his right to privacy when he crashed on a public street after being "clubbed" by his wife for numerous marital infidelities. What are your thoughts?

Feel free to post your favorite Tiger Woods joke at the end of your post.

What's the difference between Santa Claus and Tiger Woods? Santa stopped at 3 Ho's.

Fun first, seriousness second.

Not so much a joke as a question. Why did Tiger sleep with seven women - he only needed six to get 18 holes...

I frankly couldn't care about Tiger's escapades. However, considering his fame and the publicity it brings probably contributed to his sleeping around, then I don't see why he should suddenly be able to disappear. He wasn't complaining when the publicity was good now, was he...

I really wanted to title the thread "Tiger Woods jokes", but I wasn't sure that was political enough. hehe

I believe that there should be laws prohibiting the media from invading personal privacy, as by that point, they are harming the rights of an individual. Judges should be given full power to issue good heft fines for harassment.

People wonder why celebrities snap so often, go live in the spotlight for every waking hour.

If he never received privacy what makes you think anyone else is entitled to it. Like it or not, Mr. Woods is{was} a role model and as such it comes with expectations. All of us are human and hense...flawed. The point is not that he engaged in unsightliness... The matter is that he got......"caught".

Bring it.... There is no such thing as bad press. It's just a matter of how you spin it. {just ask Martha S.} I would have Mocha latte's delivered to the photo hounds parked outside the gate and once or twice a week have them all up to the house for dinner and a swim. It's not the spotlight, it's how one acclimates to it.

"The weather's fine today" said the man, he was standing in the garage.

And yeah, they were forced to live the lives of the rich and famous infront of the press. Give it a rest allready.

There's a pretty big difference between the valid ambition of fame and having paparazzi follow you and your kids to soccer games.

Say cheese, cuz they are now an intimate part of your life. You have wealth, and all the comforts life can offer. People die by the thousands every day of misery, torture and starvation, and these folks have the audacity to fien suffering at the price of a smile.

Dude, the guy is a golfer. How fricking important could he be? That's no excuse for this kind of behavior. I don't care how much you hate a certain class of people, people's privacy is to be respected.

Almost every man here and on this board, if he was a superstar and had access to hot action 24/7, married or not, would take that option.

It's a rare, rare man who is principled enough to pass that up. You see it even with politicians, judges, journalists, actors, lots of them having affairs all the time. Most of the time, it's kept pretty quiet. But crash a car in the street, and the news chases the story. Journalists of course new what Tiger woods was doing before now, it just became more newsworthy following his car crash.

The OP is correct this is not political enough. And the suggestion to post Tiger Woods jokes at the end of each post clinches it. Moving. Moving. Gone.

He would have been better just coming out with the truth when this started. That way, it could be in the past and we would move onto more pressing issues, like octupi that can use tools.
