    What's so funny is I never, ever thought about Tiger until this shit hit the fan. I knew who he was but that's about it.,

    And I sure never saw any of his commercials for any product.

    I'm disappointed because Tiger Focus was the only Gatorade I could stand anymore.

    motherfuck. I was staring at this 8:1 shot posted on Bodog about 4 days ago if any of his sponsors dropped him before May 2010.. This was a day before the whore came out, where it dropped to 3.5:1 .. and now that Gatorade is the first to drop him, the bets have been paid :p

    Ah yes, but the print ads - pretty much all of which seem to be from Accenture - still seem to be trickling out.

    And yes, almost all of Accenture's copy in the Tiger ads is unintentionally hilarious.

    There is a huge, Accenture billboard on I-35 smack in the center of downtown Austin that features Tiger's picture and the headline, "It's your next move that counts." I'm not sure if they did that on purpose.

    They're just hibernating until golf season opens next Spring.

    I don't see any of the Bimbos or Elin having any kind of value added brand.

    Yes, I'm highly suggestible.

    As for Woods - I'm surprised that people fell for the "good-guy" B.S. First of all, at this point you're better off starting with the assumption that most male pro-athletes are, at the least, cheating douchebags. And then being surprised by the exceptions.

    And I always got a weird vibe from him - such a cold fish with a plastered on smile.

    @NorthernLite: This is what I was saying yesterday. If someone is male and they are:

    1. A rock star

    or

    2. A Hollywood actor

    or

    3. A pro-athelete

    then they are going to cheat on you.

    The only variant is that if the male is both a Hollywood actor a scientologist it won't be women he cheats on you with.

    I do think it's odd that in a time in which increasing numbers of black women are trying to wear their hair natural that so many of these black Barbies have straight hair.

    But more troubling to me is most of the clothes. They're incredibly "ghetto." What happened to aspiration? Just because you're poor doesn't mean you want a doll that looks exactly like you (supposedly). The Cinderella doll comes dressed in a gossamer ball gown, not in rags.

    I'm no Barbie aficionada; was there a "White Trash" Barbie? These then, would be the black counterpart.

    These Barbies are "more horrible." White Barbie gets a convertible and a house in Malibu. Some of these black Barbies look destined for their very own street corner.

    For the first few seconds I th0ught the "Shiny Bubbles" commercial was mildly amusing -- I read too quickly and thought it was a sponsored ad leading in to the main item -- but as the bubbles' remarks began to escalate into a group taunt it was scary. How could the makers not realize that this was going too far and evoked a rape scene?

    Advertising and the movies love the image of the beautiful, helpless, naked woman on the brink of being assaulted, sexually or with a knife (Psycho). I can't think of a similar image of a man.
