At what price fame?

There is a media firestorm over the week end accident of Tiger Woods. Now I am not ashamed to say this. Who cares?

Why is there such a media firestorm about this? The man was in an auto accident. No big deal. He was probably a little drunk. No proof of this claim but it just seems strange otherwise unless he fell asleep at the wheel. Again no proof. But the big thing is...why do we care so much?

Look the man is human. He makes mistakes. So what if he is having an affair with another woman (or a man for that matter). Again I have no proof so I cannot say for sure what all the issues are that are surrounding this car accident.

The bigger question is why is there such media coverage, such media frenzy over this? What about the Global Warming Hoax? Don't here that kind of media fanfare over this mess which has far more importance of weather or not Tiger was drunk or coming home after an evening tryst with someone other than his wife.

But if you Google the Hoax and Tiger Accident you will find far more "hits" for Tiger than you will over the Hoax. Now this is a sad commentary on our popular culture.

Don't people understand that Global Warming will limit how, where, when and even who they get to see on a daily basis? Don't people understand that Global Warming will cut them off from their beloved movie, sports and music stars? The stars wont be able to travel. Movies will be severely cut back due to the fact that movies are not really needed but use a lot of our limited resources.

Don't people understand that Global Warming will limit their ability to use their big screen TV's to see their favorite star? Don't they understand that they will not be able to drive their gas guzzling vehicle to their local Walmart to buy that new CD or DVD?

But somehow the Tiger car accident is more important than the huge Global Warming Hoax that has been uncovered over the past week.

I guess we should be thankful that it was not Tom Cruz in that car. I am sure that would have been an even bigger story. After all how could Tom get in an accident unless he was not listening to the latest tape from the Scientology church.
