Tiger Woods is one of the very popular 'Google search hits' these days and a great 'hit' with almost every second woman in US of A. Kunal Shah claims to have a 'hit' with him too. The question is...did he really?
I met Tiger Woods too! Pay me and I’ll tell you! He made a pass at me too! Pay me and I’ll tell you! He’s a golfer – and swings both ways? Pay me and I’ll tell you! Yes, I am just attempting to make some headlines for myself! Aping the west as they call it!
Pardon my misuse of Tiger’s ‘post-transgressions’ state, but this seems to very much be the norm in the US of A! The media is dying to know more and they’re willing to pay! Random women are now springing up from everywhere – making claims about Tiger’s affairs with them and his not-so-good performance abilities and they’re willing to leak it all – only for some good moolah! [A national newspaper carried an interesting picture of a lady holding a banner that read ‘Tiger, they are paying me $500,000 and I am still keeping shut!’] Leave him alone you dumb women!
Tiger Woods, undoubtedly the world’s best golfer and also the world’s first billon dollar sportsman has had a tough few weeks. His mid-night accident has ended up revealing much more than he’d like to share with us – all that has come out of the Tiger’s mouth is the word – transgressions! A word that I think has suddenly caught the eye of the media in America – I think it’s the word that triggered their funny reactions.
They’re out there – media companies, adult video companies et al. All out to get some Tiger branded content to sell their mediums! Shameless, I’d say! And not because Tiger’s one of my favourite golfers, but shameless because they’re out again, trying to ride their businesses by invading yet another celebrities private life. And those random women? Publicity aside, a few hundred thousand dollars to save their aimless lives? Come’on: Gimme a break!
Poor Tiger! He loved his privacy and he guarded it and how – and to my mind he still does. His press release was very well worded and again, it gave the media a new word to use – transgressions. It also didn’t reveal much, it didn’t reveal any details about his alleged affair – person, duration, nothing! Even though he went public about him straying away, he did so in typical Tiger manner. Good shot Tiger!
However, this shot of his hasn’t gone down too well with the media. They want to know more and they will want to know it all. They want Tiger to go down on his knees and beg for forgiveness – more for not revealing all than for allegedly cheating on his family! Funny I’d say!
Being silent is Tiger’s best trick. The rumours and alleged link ups and stories of him being a bad husband and father will soon die a natural death when the media drops their holier-than-thou attitude or when another celebrity attempts to follow Tiger’s trail! While I am hoping that the damage to Brand Tiger won’t much, I am certain that Tiger, the golfer will be back with his typical roar.
Here’s to Tiger and his tough times…!

... Well the media surely will NOT make someones life... for sure. Breaking ones career is easier na... I wouldnt be surprised if this whole thing will just die out in a weeks time or even less, thats what media do... create hype ! |
