When will these people learn that using people's likenesses without their permission and endorsement is a bad idea?
Seriously. They managed to tick off the First Lady not even a few months ago. Now they're taking a stab at Tiger. Of course, they're saying "oh, we're not dragging his mistakes through the mud, oh no, we're just using his image to help save homeless animals!"

PETA is retarded. :\ They are basically making the sex scandal a bigger deal. They are basically saying, "Let's show the whole world that Tiger has too much sex. He needs to be neutered!"

Well, let's get going and start neutering/spaying every living thing that can procreate because according to PETA procreating is bad.

While I agree with spayiing/neutering one's pet to help control the pet population (because i dont want the poor things to be killed because a home can't be found for them) I'm just surprised it's PETA that is advocating such a thing based on what is done to the animal.

I too agree that one should spay/neuter their pet. It would be so sad to see little kittens and puppies and other animals not get homes. ; 3; My hamsters had two litters of 6 and we kept all 14 until they passed away or they got homes.
PETA will do anything to get attention. That's what I think.
PETA is full of crazy extremists (not all, but the majority I've encountered are) that will flip out if you give your pet a little tap on the head for doing something wrong. I give my dog a little pat on the head if she did something wrong like get into the trash. I don't smack her, but I give her a little tap so she knows that she did something wrong without hurting her.

Plus, PETA even had two of its members go to the Westminster Dog Show (they didn't necessarily assign them to, but did support them), and protest by standing on top of the podium with signs more or less decrying purebred breeding and that it kills shelter dogs. (What they fail to realize here is that some of those breeders actually do it to continue the breed. Puppy mills are the real danger, because they are constantly pumping out puppies with little to no regard for the animals' care.)
In this case, it's simply a backhanded low blow to Tiger. While they're promoting spaying and neutering of pets, they're sticking it to him by using him as a (poorly concocted) example of why. They could have simply used a picture of kittens and puppies in kennels as an example. Nope. They're using Tiger and saying he'll be happy about the message they're trying to send.
Oh, PETA. They'll never learn.

I don't think Tiger's problem is that he has too much sex, it's that he has too much sex with other people who aren't his wife.
That being said, the billboard is a little funny imo, even as sick as I am of Tiger Woods jokes involving 18 holes....
-eye roll-
But I don't think it gets the message across very well.
Therefore, it fails.

I'm not saying that he has too much sex, but that is how the message comes across. At least to me, but I do agree with you.

I've actually tried to get my family to neuter the cat's around here, and listened to idiocy about how I'd be ruining it's life....
PETA is a bunch of nuts, but not in this case. They just broke the rules, and should pay Tiger Appropriately. Considering this is the only endorsement he'll be getting in a long time, this won't be bad for him.

But on topic. I feel this was a jab to someone who has already been knocked down. It's lame for them to make an advertisment like that. It gets the point across, but it seem really immature.

It gets tricky. They [Tiger co.] really can't sue since its not advertising for a profit. It also isn't a lie, just bad taste. Legally they [Peta] can do it, but its a big no-no in the ethics book, something that Peta doesn't care about anyways.
