Let me have my cake and eat it too. Wah!

Yeah! We should be able to see every minute of his life, just like every other celebrity. We should be able to just stick cameras inside their houses and whatnot.

Seriously, that is the most simplistic statement.

I've said nothing of the sort. Personally I don't give two sh*ts for the cult of celebrity culture we live in these days. I don't think we have a right to know what goes on in Tiger's private life. And frankly, I don't want to know. But if Tiger thinks he can earn millions of dollars by doing nothing (my opinion of celebrity endorsements) with no strings attached, he's a fool.

And if I've learned anything from watching Tiger Woods, it's that he's no fool. Which, in my estimation, means he's trying to play the victim with regards to all the negative attention he's receiving. He damn well knows the score - and always has -, but suddenly he doesn't like it.

And seriously, my simplistic statement was simplistic on purpose...it was me being Tiger being a whiny baby. Simplified for effect. See? Simple.
