    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

    Yeah, but if I'm the marketing director for Trojan-brand condoms, Tiger's my guy.

    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.

    Is there really some stupid bastard out there who is thinking to himself "Fuck it! Tiger cheated on his wife, I'm never buying Gatorade again!"

    No, they're waiting for the book to come out so they can find out how to get "beautiful" women in Vegas to act as your PIMP.

    Oh that's right, you have to be a Billllllionaire.

    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.
