Instead of braving the Black Friday crowds, I decided the more sensible thing to do was to work that Friday. That afternoon, a few colleagues and I first heard that golfer Tiger Woods was involved in a car crash outside his home. It made us curious as details began to emerge.
I finally gave up on the story a few days ago, however, because the whole story has been nothing but tabloid fodder - fodder that's even dominated the national newscasts! The sad thing is, nobody except the parties involved really know (or should be concerned about) what really happened. I wouldn't be surprised that a large portion of this was fabricated by media outlets to increase viewers and readership.
This has happened far too often nowadays, in the age of reality TV. Do we really need to know every friggin' detail of celebrities' lives? Aren't they entitled to privacy in the comfort of their own homes just like the rest of us?
I admit, I do sometimes watch shows like TMZ for a few laughs, and I did enjoy a few joke emails and radio stories about the Tiger Woods incident, but enough is enough! I'm sure this whole thing will blow over in a few weeks or so anyway (at least, when the next celebrity "scandal" hits the news).
