quote:"You do things for the people you love and you care about," Woods said. "My father got ridiculed for years, and I always felt for my father and my mother the same way. My wife, we're in it together. We're a team, and we do things as a team. And I care about her with all my heart."
Good for him. I think he's handled it very well.
That was uncalled for and incredibly rude to treat his wife like that in public. And I'm pleased to see him not taking it lying down, while at the same time stating he isn't angry at the Irish people and wants to put the focus back on the event. Reveals a lot of class, and makes the people who published that stuff look like the classless jerks they are.

First of all, why is this even a story? No, I don't mean Tiger Woods' response, I mean the story about his wife. She was a professional model, and a professional Swedish model at that. I seems that the people of Sweden aren't racked with dirty nasty Christian guilt over nudity. They fail to see the naughty titilation of it all.
So, his wife was a model, we already knew that, in fact, pretty much the whole world knew that, so again, where is the story?
This is a classic example of taboloid journalism taking a total NON-story and inflaming it with a lot of overstate innuendo and out right false claims in the interest of selling papers at any social, ethical, or moral cost.
Even if the nude photo were of his wife, which the very clearly were not, so what? Where is the story? You can go to art galleries in any major city in Europe, including Irland and England, and see nude women and men. You can walk out into the public piazza and see nude statues peeing into a pool.
Why is this news?
Even if this were true, which it clearly is not, why is it a story of any kind?
I'm reminded of a tabloid story in one of the UK newspaper, it was a photo of Prince William walking back from the grocery store. That's it; nothing more. Yet, they manage to blow it up into big controversial headlines and a story filled with supposition and innuendo, and nothing more.
It was a total NON-story inflamed into ...well, what was in the end, still a total non-story.
I see no point to the original story, and think Tiger shoud sue the sh!t out of them.
Just one man's opinion.

That nude photo apparrently isn't even his wife.
I sure hope the newspaper staff enjoys Tiger as their new owner.

People in Europe go to art museums in the NUDE?
No wonder I fell asleep in Art Appreciation. Wrong continent.
