I wrote something here yesterday about Nike's new Tiger Woods commercial featuring the disembodied, lecturing voice of Tiger's dead father (I thought it was weird). Last night on "The Colbert Report," Stephen Colbert mocked the commercial, offering up some pretty funny alternative voiceovers Nike could have used. My favorite is the Gene Wilder clip from the Mel Brooks classic "Young Frankenstein." Check it out:

Nike unveiled its first post-scandal Tiger Woods commercial yesterday, and it was pretty jaw-dropping. But maybe not in the way Tiger and Nike hoped.

In the black & white commercial, a very sad-looking Tiger stares into the screen while audio of his dead father Earl plays, saying things like "I want to find out what your thinking was" and ending by asking, "Did you learn anything?" The effect is the viewer feeling like they are watching Tiger being lectured by his father from the grave. Pretty dramatic stuff.

Is it moving or weirdly inappropriate? I can't help but feel when I watch, that Tiger is using his dead father to try to make us feel sorry for him. But that's just me (I'm not a golfer so I'm not under that Tiger spell). What do you think?

Tiger and fans focusing on golf again.

Ever since Tiger Woods' obsessively crafted family man image went down in flames after the Thanksgiving dinner meltdown from Hell, we've been wondering: What could South Park do with this?

We had to wait until Wednesday night for the foul-mouthed Comedy Central show's 14th season premiere, but it's safe to say that South Park nailed Tiger Woods and almost every other male celebrity caught running around in the last 12 years.

But South Park creators Trey Parker and Matt Stone reserved their most stinging mockery for anyone out there in the media or general public actually astonished that rich, famous men in our society might take advantage of the occasional sexual
fling that their elevated status makes available to them.

CHAPEL HILL — North Carolina coach Roy Williams is an avid golfer and golf fan. So it wasn't surprising to hear that he had taken few minutes to watch Tiger Woods' televised statement Friday. Williams' reaction to Woods' mea culpa:

"I watched it. I thought he did a nice job in a very difficult situation,'' Williams said. "I really struggle [with it] myself because I think it's a personal matter and yet it can't be personal because it's Tiger Woods. I saw a person that seemed to be harmed a great deal by it and I think everybody wanted to see that and I like the idea he's not saying, 'I'm running back and I'll be on the first tee tomorrow.' He feels like he's got some work to do and I probably talked on that a heck of a lot more than I should."

You know that awesome Google commercial that aired during the Super Bowl? Well, this is why I love the internet:

Does Tiger Woods owe us an explanation for his philandering?

Should Kate Gosselin complain about photographers following her on vacation?

Public figures court us for our attention (and dollars) but then want their privacy when the news turns negative. Is that fair?

Two N&O editors debate the issue in today's "Face Off." Check it out and chime in. 

Last night's "Saturday Night Live" opened with a skit of South Carolina's Governor Mark Sanford, Nevada Senator John Ensign, and North Carolina's former senator John Edwards holding a press conference criticizing the media for their coverage of the Tiger Woods scandal.

But instead of taking the media to task for being too hard on their fellow philanderer, the men complain that Tiger's getting all the coverage these days.

SNL had Will Forte playing Edwards, Jason Sudeikis playing Sanford, and Bill Hader playing Ensign.

Forte as Edwards mostly reminded the one reporter who bothered to attend the press conference that he (allegedly) has a child with his former mistress. As Ensign and Sanford argue about why their affairs deserve more media coverage, Edwards repeatedly exclaims, "I had a love child!"

After news of David Letterman's affairs with staffers broke earlier this year, a lot of people said that he'd never again be able to joke about other celebrities caught up in similarly sordid stories.

Wrong. 

Here's the self-deprecating talk show host from last night's show poking fun at Tiger Woods. Funny stuff.
