He may not be playing at this week's Farmers Insurance Open at Torrey Pines, but even in absentia Tiger Woods is the center of conversation at the PGA tournament. Or more specifically, the center of chuckles because yesterday an airplane towing one of those message banners was spotted above the golf course.
The banner's message? "WE MISS YOU TIGER! DÉJÀ VU SHOWGIRLS." Now, for those of you in the dark about such things, Deja Vu Showgirls is a local strip club. And given the scandal of Tiger's now well-known and numerous sexual escapades (he is reportedly checked into a sex addiction clinic), it is the latest - and possibly funniest - joke at the once infallible one's expense.
As one player reportedly said yesterday, the banner was "tastefully tasteless." Gonna have to agree with that one.
To see a picture of the banner, read Tod Leonard's story on the Union-Tribune's website here.

This is a little sample of the kind of welcome that Tiger will receive when he returns!
It is hard to believe we are actually having a public debate over whether sexual addicts like Tiger Woods and others like him are ’sick’ puppies (that deserve our understanding) or simply voraciously lustful sinners deserving our contempt. Well, since when does addictive behavior of any kind exempt one from an ethical judgment? We don’t wring our collective hands over whether a pedophile is guilty of sin! It’s just a given that he is. Whether someone is also ’sick’ or not may provide fodder for the gossip addicts; but, it has no real bearing on whether the person in question is in fact a sinner. Tiger Woods is definitely a sinner, big time. The fact that we are having this debate is defacto proof that we desperately need a non-theistic ethical standard to judge ethical behavior. John W.
