There is truth in advertising


Years ago there was this t-shirt called Le Tigre and it had some cool commercials where girls went after guys wearing Le Tigre shirts to this crazy jingle of "Hold that Tiger. Hold that Tiger."

As a kid, I remember thinking, "That can't be true." When my folks bought me a shirt one day, I told my classmates, let's test this is it works. So we went to Maryknoll after class and nothing happened. We had quite a laugh. So I guess the man doesn't make the clothes now does it? Bwahahaha. 

But was I ever wrong. Tiger Woods... hold that Tiger, baby! Ten babes. Oh-lala. But Tiger is the man. Not me. Bwahaha. 

Seriously though, as much as Woods is wrong and way out of line, the media and the corporations that once adored him have kicked the chair right from under him. Maybe it would have helped had he not maintained his silence. Whatever it is -- paying hush money, planning on his PR move on Oprah and other late night shows, or waiting to see who else will come out -- it has been devastating for him. 

Lesson for other big time athletes and entertainers right here.
