Yahoo! Chief: God Bless Tiger Woods
Tiger Woods makes Carol Bartz yahoo-happy.
Tiger Woods' "transgressions" have dominated the media since Thanksgiving and, while his actions are in no way excusable, Tiger is probably pretty fed up with his name being plastered all over the internet. In fact, it's likely a lot of people are entirely sick of hearing about Tiger Woods, but there's at least one person who's thankful for Tiger and his transgressions and that person is Yahoo! CEO Carol Bartz.
Yesterday Bartz took the stage at the UBS Media Conference and opined, "God bless Tiger."
According to the The Huffington Post, Bartz emphasized how terrific the golfer's scandals have been for Yahoo!, as hungry users comb the site from front-to-back, homepage to sports section, for the latest photos, videos, and gossip related to his myriad of alleged lovers. Similarly, the Wall Street Journal reports that when asked if Mr. Woods would help the Internet company make the quarter, she said, “Oh, absolutely,” and added that he’s fueling more visits than Michael Jackson’s death.

Stay classy, Ms. Bartz. You're equating your website with supermarket tabloids.
Why would I keep up with the scandal? Its just another celebrity doing something stupid. I'm more concerned with my own life than some famous guys sins!
Tiger should join Amway, they also screw anything that moves. Amway is a scam, and here's why: Amway wants to pay out as little money as they can get away with, so they support the higher level IBOs ripping off their downline via the tool scam. As a result, about 99% of IBOs operate at a net loss, while the top 1% make several TIMES more from their Amway tool scam than from the Amway products. Read about it on my blog, I suggest you start here: http://tiny.cc/D5oJh and forward the information to everyone you know, so they don't get scammed.
How is he not fed up? He's a superstar and he's cheating? What? Did he expect not being caught?
Anyway, it's just another celebrity gone bad.
Next.
God bless Tiger Woods for your greedy benefit and his loss? You can go straight to hell Ms. Bartz. Straight to f'ing hell.
what scandal?
two words "who cares!"

He's a celebrity? Last time I checked he was a professional golfer.
I stopped following when I heard "8 mistresses." Now its up to 12 or 13.
Really, he has had twelve mistresses, but know one, of all the journalists following him, could discover any until he crashed his Escalade? What?
Its media hype and gold diggers. The first "mistress" denies it, the second mistress says Tiger called her and told her to take his number out of her phone so his wife wouldn't find out. Why would Tiger tell her to remove his number from her phone? Why wouldn't Tiger just remove her number from his phone?
I dont give a rats ass about celebs at all.
people really need to get a life.And mind their own business.
Who is Tiger Woods? No seriously who buys this crap? The only reason I use Yahoo is because AT&T bought out Bellsouth and am now forced to use crappy yahoo webmail. Yahoo is bloated and clunky and am ashamed for Woods, but he made his decision. So to answer your question Jane, I don't keep up with the Scandal since it has little to no bearing on my life.
I keep up on it by turning on the TV and it is the only thing "worthy" of news I guess. You can't even click over to ESPN to get away from it.

Amen to that! :-)

yea... to be honest, I only care about how well he plays in the golf games. Whatevr he does outside of the golf court is his own business, specially if his action has nothing to do w/ his ability to play golf or affecting his golf score.
yahoo? what's that? :-p
The higher you put a person on a pedestal the farther he/she will fall. Tiger is human, he will make mistakes, he is not perfect. This should be an internal issue with his wife and family. He needs to forget about making the next million and work on fixing his marriage and being a better role model for his children.
I could careless about his transgressions and such. All I know is that it's probably going to cost him more money than I could imagine when his wife takes him to the cleaners.

get a life? what are you, 12? i agree that people need to mind their own business, but he chose to be in the spotlight by working in the entertainment industry. to many, this is entertainment.
As a person I think what Bartz said was funny and probably true. As a CEO it's probably something she shouldn't have said.

Son, that's what I call a tangent... wow... a rather ranty one at that ;p
Yesterday I opined the door, turned on the TV and saw news about Tiger Woods.
Nevermind, I had no idea that was a word. Should have googled it first.
Thumbs down that message!
I'm still learning! ( Sophomore in high-school )
Few funny thoughts:
1. What's wrong getting a "hole in one" (maybe in 12 or 13)?
2. He likes to use his "club".
All I can think is that Tiger got married for the wrong reasons and/or to the wrong woman. He likes powerful American women, but married a Norwegian maid.
I have been trying not to. But that filth keeps finding its way into my ears, despite my best efforts.

All this while playing the back 9... lol
This is both hilarious and sad (in the pathetic sort of way).
But, yeah. I am tired of hearing about Tiger. I didn't care about him before, during, or after all this news.
Do you really want to deprive those hard working journalists of jobs by ignoring their gripping stories about Tiger and his wife and his girlfriend and his other girlfriend and his mother and his other other girlfriend and his kids and his other other other girlfriend...
Come on, won't someone think of the journalists?
sex tape anyone? you know there is one out there.
Tiger should join Amway, they also screw anything that moves.
BAAAHAHAHA! Best "tiger joke" yet! I hate Amway too!
We are going to rename Tiger Woods from this day forth.
We shall now call him Cheetah. (har har)
Or is he a Lion? (har har again)
What is the difference between a Cadillac Escalade and a golf ball?
-Tiger Woods can drive one 300 feet.
