Nike: 'The Masters' of Moving Past Scandal

The Masters starts today, marking the first time Tiger Woods will be playing professional golf since his whole loving-strippers-and-porn-stars "scandal."  I put the word "scandal" in quotes because I still don't see what is scandalous about loving strippers and porn stars.  Everyone loves strippers and porn stars!  They are there to be loved!

But Tiger teed off about 18 minutes ago and so far he's off to a good start!  (I have no way of knowing if this is true.  I write my posts way in advance.  I'm just going to assume he's off to a good start because he is Tiger f'in' Woods.)

Also off to a good start: The milking of Tiger's shame for corporate advertising!

Above is the first "post-scandal" TV spot featuring Tiger Woods.  No surprise that Nike is the first to re-embrace the star being that they are no strangers to moving forward after scandal.  (Cough!  Cambodian child slaves!!  Cough!)

You could say the people at Nike are "The Masters" of moving on from scandal.

What?  I already used that pun in the title??  F U, jerks!!!!
