So, Tiger Woods drives a Ford Aerostar minivan?
This video has been making the rounds as Tiger Woods and his traveling lady-circus continue to suck the air out of the news cycle. It’s from the Apple Daily, Taiwan’s juiciest and most popular paper, part of Hong Kong-based Next Media. The paper recently launched computer graphic “reenactments” of shocking news events to draw younger readers. Woods’ weirdly robotic scuffle and Keith Olbermann’s subsequent lambasting of the brouhaha have really revved up the Apple Daily’s publicity machine.
(Before Tigergate, the mayor of Taipei had fined the newspaper US$31,000 for violating media regulations intended to protect children.)
Behold, the messy future of news.
