Last week AT&T announced it ended its sponsorship of Tiger Woods. In February 2009 the company signed a multi-year agreement with the golfer that included prominent logo placement on his golf bag. AT&T is the second sponsor to terminate a business partnership after the revelation of Tiger Woods’ multiple affairs. Gillette has stopped airing commercials featuring Woods, but still includes him as a sponsor as do Nike, Pepsi and Gatorade.

Standing on the gallows for up to an hour with a noose around your neck, 39 lashes, and up to a year in jail or a 100 pound fine – that was the punishment of being an adulterer in New Hampshire years ago. As odd as it may seem, the law still stands, but in a more relaxed manner. Today it will only garner you a misdemeanor and a $1,200 fine. However, some find it odd that the law exists at all and believe the government should remove itself from people’s bedrooms entirely. The law has been put up for repeal several times since 1987 but the state senate would not allow it to pass. Some conservatives, like Kevin Smith, feel that removing the law would weaken marriage.

Golfer Tiger Woods was injured in a car accident outside his home around 2:30am on Friday, November 27, 2009. Immediately after leaving his house, his Cadillac SUV hit a fire hydrant and tree and when police arrived, they found Woods in and out of consciousness in the street with his wife Elin. Initial reports were that Elin (who was not in the vehicle with him) used a golf club to smash the rear window and extricate Woods. However, rumors are now circulating that there may be more to the story. One rumor states that Woods was recently seen in Australia with another woman and questions surround why Woods was leaving home at such an odd hour. Woods has refused to meet with Police investigators and simply issued a statement stating that the rumors are false and requests privacy.
