Nike, Ea Sports, P&g to Drop Tiger Woods Endorsements
by He now has more mistresses than endorsements.
Finally. Time after time, we see celebrities cash in on being moral degenerates. They go out and behave in ways that most of us would become pariahs for, and we love them for it. They play repentant, the books get written, we revel in theur inspiring turnaround. But for once, it appears that there may be an exception to the rule.
Tiger has remained mum for the most part since his harem started to come forth, and that’s more than understandable… every time he has opened his mouth, another bimbo seems to fall out. But this time, the general public seems to actually be a bit upset. And unlike the normal celebrity status quo, Tiger is starting to feel this one where it hurts… in the pocket book.
Brett Pulley and Michael Buteau ofBloomberg did a little research into Nielsen’s television records, and found an interesting statistic: ads featuring Tiger Woods have completely vanished from prime-time television since Woods’ wreck; the last was a Gillette ad aired November 29th. Factored in with Gatorade’s dropping of the Tiger Woods drink, it would appear that the floodgates are about to open. And with reports that Nike, Proctor and Gamble, and EA Sports are jumping ship as well, it appears the bottom is falling out for low life Woods.
And it’s about damn time. Don’t make the mistake of thinking this will break him, because he’ll still be filthy rich. But initial estimates indicate that he may lose up to 90% of his income over this.
Finally, some form of accountability. As it should be. When you make your living off of the limelight, especially the way Tiger has… based on his squeaky clean ‘image of excellence’… when we find out it’s a farce, we should by all means be able to pull back their ability to get rich at our expense. A year flipping burgers would do Tiger some good. But then, they have bimbos there, too…

Excellent. What makes ME the most angry is not his seemingly endless list of indiscretions but his ‘public statements’ (that includes his web site) that’…it is nothing, a small family affair, …’ and that the media is wrong. Yeah, -flip ‘dem burgers for a year Tige and then tell us again that it was all nothing’ but ‘media frenzy’ false innuendo. You’re going down.

Sometimes a person will pay a very high price for cheating.

Even if he loses 90% of his endorsements, the dude is a billionaire.
The writer of this article needs to get off his high horse. You can’t touch Tiger, he’s in a league of his own. The dude was lined up to get a Congretional Gold Medal, he’s a national treasure. He’ll bounce back from this, just as every famous person does.
And stop acting like you’re an angel. You prolly have a terabyte of pr0n on your computer.

good article, but can you please get rid of the scrolling ads because they blocked the text and just are too apparent.

Ugg® Australia boots are not from Australia although the Ugg-style boot originated from Australia. Uggs are sheepskin boots, originally referred to as ug, ugh or ugg boots. Australia was once populated by sheep farmers and ugg boots were a bi-product of the sheep herding industry.The boots actually became popular among surfers in Australia because they were warm and were meant to be worn without socks.

Humanity seems to have a knack – a predilection, really – for building our idols tall, only to watch with relish as they inevitably tumble.
