Selling a sneaker using a dead man. I've had just about enough!
I hope I have this right. I have no links so flame me. Just on the Ed Show: Nike selling it's wares using Tiger Woods and the voice of his father. Tiger looking like a kid who just got caught stealing candy, not blowing up his family and career, listening to his father ask him what he has learned.

Tiger's Dad is dead, isn't he? If I'm wrong about that, forgive me. I don't follow golf closely. If the man is alive and participating in this crass grubbing for money then, this is even worse.

So, Tiger Woods, who is supposedly in counselling for his failngs, has been re-embraced by Nike as long as he allows his father to be exploited and money made on those failings.

What has Tiger learned, Dad? He has learned how to make even more money exploiting his family and insulting my intelligence.

When and how are we going to tell these people to cut this disgusting shit?

11. You'd think if Montana Jesus had a rifle, he would also be wearing something
a little more modern like camouflage. Sheesh, get your eras right! But then he'd look like any redneck with a gun I suppose, with those Northern European features.

21. Why?
Are you saying he should give away money because he's super rich and it wouldn't hurt him to spend some money on the community and help people out. (Something more super rich athletes should do.)


Or is it some kind of punishment for sleeping around? People seem to really be taking his adultery personally.


I would agree with the first one.

13. Didn't his dad to the same thing to him?
I mean his dad pretty much bred him to be a golf robot for money. Might as well pay him back for it.

14. 'When and how are we...'
"When and how are we going to tell these people to cut this disgusting shit?"

Well, since we're not the home of the brave, as Kyrgyzstan is, probably never.

16. I saw the ad; my takeaway
There are a number of points and comments Dad's voiceover makes, and Tiger remains mute with a blank aspect throughout. My takeaway was that Tiger answers only to his dad, and he's dead. So belt up, you nosy parkers, and keep buying Nike brand stuff.

22. Let's see - you've 'had enough' over something you don't even know is true.
You don't know the person - dead or alive yet your idea of 'enough' is that the person is hypothetically dead and therefore shouldn't be referenced in a commercial?

You want to do the opposite of insult your intelligence? Find a better cause to 'have enough' over.

Just saying...

25. This isn't about Tiger - it's about Nike.
You gotta feel for them. They've been hurt by all this.
