Is it me??

Is it me or are you tired of hearing about celebrity men cheating on their wives? Enough with the Tiger Woods, PLEASE!!!!
The media has copies of his text messages and the voicemail they he left to the "other" woman.
So, the wife beat him with a golf club......good for her. Even though if it was the other way around, he would've been in jail.

He said he wanted his private life left private. I figure if you want fame and fortune your private life goes out the window.

K-love radio did an excellent bit on this.....praying for his family and marriage. He's not the only man out there doing this kind of stuff.....compassion and prayers that he can repent and be the man his mother and father raised him to be and that he and his wife can show the world how to rebuild trust after such a mess up.

Celebrity men seem to cheat more because they CAN .the money and power some woman find irresistable. Having been around show business people I have to tell you woman literally throw themselves at these guys I am not justifying what the man did just trying to explain that celebrities would have to be made of stone not to be tempted. I personally dont understand why they bother getting married they are almost doomed to failure. I do not advocate beating anyone with a golf club I prefer getting a really good lawyer and cleaning his clock financially

Tiger Woods or any celebrity cheating is NOT news in any sense of the word. 7 Houses burning in Detroit last night got less coverage than the TW crap. Journalists my butt.

**tigo** · 12-03-2009, 08:34 AM

I agree enough is enough. What people I dont know are doing to their personal relationships doesnt need the coverage this is getting. I agree prayers are needed- for anyone facing hardship in their marraiges - self created or not.

well listen to about 1/4 of what they are 'revealing'...and believe about 1/10th of that.....

who knows the real from fictional truth but tiger, his wife and the 'other women'.... and that is all it should really be concerning.... when all the people in the rest of the world-- BEGINNING with the media are perfect...then they can sit around and discuss and 'judge' tigers' actions....until then....

SHUT UP ABOUT IT !!!!......

i agree with cannon...we are so warped and twisted when it comes to 'news' in this country...more time has been devoted to this crap in the past few days than that of the last nobel peace prize winner...(do you even know WHO that was and for what)...?

ok-....bad example this time on that one...Obama got one...and the media made sure we all knew that and how un-deserving it was...but there were others that got them too....and that is the whole point.....

I can understand wanting privacy. But you pretty much give it up when you send e-mails and act in a way that the media will have a feeding frenzy. It isn't as if he is the first one and the media never did this before.

And yes, the media really should try to focus on more news worthy information. But then again there are all these reality shows.

**Mummy2** · 12-03-2009, 09:10 AM

Misery loves company. Making news out of someones failure famous or not is what most people are drawn to. Its also another form of gossip.

yes but we don't really know the content of these e-mails and if they are not even blown completely out of porportion....the media is famous for 'sensationalism' and without-- the story dies and cannot take on a 'life of its own'....

perfect example...i have a male friend that i went to high school with and we 'found' each other the other day and have been e-mailing back and forth...the last e-mail ended with "well Sweetie...we have really got to get together and have dinner soon....i have so missed you and thought about you thru the years"....(his e-mail)

now...if someone was to take just that text....here we go....i did not mention the 1st half of the e-mail was all about his new wife (of 1 yr)...how happy she made him and how much better his life is now that she is a part of it....i didn't mention how he was looking forward to meeting my husband and all of us picking up where he and i had left off yrs ago....and the excitement he felt having new 'couple friends'.......

and this is my point....you can take this e-mail and twist and contort it to make what you want out of it because of the words written....you can delete most of it and just run with the closing sentence...(and that is word for word what he wrote)....

so i believe absolutely nothing the media says.....because when it comes down to it...we are all sick to death of hearing about 'paris' & 'lindsay' ...NOTHING they do suprises many of us anymore...lets go after a guy everyone knows...that has kept his nose clean all these years, managed to keep scandal free....and lets feed him to the wolves....that should sell a few papers....

and as for the reality shows....hey- nobody makes those people do what they do...they run down and sign up for it.....

Channel 7 news was going to do a pc on me receiving a kidney transplant from dh (because the newspaper did an article) we got ahold of the "reporter" the next day and he said maybe some other time because the SNOW was the "big news" The news overreports unimportant things and good news is not reported at all. A small newspaper in our area reported a young man saved his friends life when he didn't notice him around and looked for him and found him in the bottom of a pool and got him out and saved him. Never heard a word on the tv; too busy reporting about tw

**StaceyS** · 12-03-2009, 10:25 AM

Yep! I feel like the "news" has become more like the National Enquirer! TW & the White house crashers are all I hear about! This is enough to make me drop cable and just watch what I want on the computer.

**JanieD** · 12-03-2009, 10:37 AM

I think it's sad we focus so much attention on the "rich & famous". If we just turned the channel & stopped paying attention, then maybe they'd stop reporting trash. Maybe not? Ok, so someone messed up... we are all human. We make mistakes, hopefully we learn from them & do better. Why does the media feel its so important we all know about this famous person's mistake? It bothers me that there is so little good news out there. I rarely watch the "news" anymore since there's gossip for headlines most days.

**Holly** · 12-03-2009, 10:58 AM

As long as its not my DH cheating I don't give a rats rump roast. I don't read it. I don't watch it.
It has no effect on anything important.
Just another man couldn't keep his fly shut

**shoiji** · 12-03-2009, 07:54 PM

I suppose what I am say is that the man makes millions off of his name. Any transgressions he has will be made public. That seems to be the way of the rich and famous. He has had more than enough time in the spotlight to know whatever he does, especially anything thought to be out of common public decency will be aired. And aired. He knew that but he made the decisions he made. He built himself up as a decent loving husband and father. Reality tv is here. The media will cover it.
