Tabloid Claims Fake Tiger Is A Fake!
Posted on Fri Jan 22, 2010 04:50 PM PDT
WFT?! X17online.com exposed the National Enquirer's "first photo of Tiger Woods in sex rehab" as a fake today when we published the first photo of the FAKE Tiger Woods in sex rehab (click here for that story) -- a guy wearing the same clothes, same shoes, same watch as the guy in their grainy, obscured photo from days before.
So what's the deal? Well the Enquirer would like us all to believe the following (taken from their email blast to the media this afternoon):
- In a laughable effort to cover up Tiger Woods’ stay in a sexual addiction clinic, a Tiger lookalike was trotted out in front of a group of paparazzi at the Gentle Path rehab center Friday in Hattiesburg, Miss.
The bizarre and ridiculous ruse was a clear attempt to make it look like The ENQUIRER’s exclusive photo of Tiger in rehab is not him.
And even though one photo agency Web site fell for it immediately, the differences between the two Tigers are obvious to even a casual observer.
Tiger’s stand-in was paraded in front of a swarm of photographers and he was wearing EXACTLY the same clothing as the real Tiger when we photographed him days ago.
Are the differences really that obvious? Looks like the same guy to me! And would Tiger really roam around outside the rehab center knowing that his location had already been reported four days earlier in the international news and that reporters and photographers would swarm the Gentle Path center in Hattiesburg, Mississippi?
And would Tiger and his people AND the employees of Gentle Path really go to such extreme lengths to cover-up that Tiger is there at the center? Seems pretty unprofessional to me. I'd say if Tiger's peeps are willing to do something like that, then they should have spent more time and effort covering up the booty-load of women with whom he cheated on his wife!
There may be another reason the tabloid wants to cover their mistake ... we're told by numerous sources they sold the images of "Tiger" to the media for $10,000 a pop and that now, shows like The Today Show and others will refuse to pay.
So what do YOU make of all this? The majority of voters on the Huffington Post believe the National Enquirer pic is a fake Tiger. Let us know what YOU think ...
Seriously ... would grown people really go to the trouble to fake us out like this? Do rehab employees really have time to orchestrate such things when they're trying to get people healthy? I would think this would be a PR nightmare for them if it were to come out that they participated in a cover-up of these proportions -- completely unprofessional!
Is there a fake Tiger? Is the real Tiger in Mississippi?
