Tiger The Movie
This story underscores people’s natural inclination towards capitalism and entrepreneurship. Our poor gal, Devon James, not seemingly endowed with anything other than an inability to say no, decides to try her hand at business. Technically, she had always been self employed, but the tryst with Tiger presented an opportunity to make revenue in bunches rather than the way she would normally do it: piece by piece as it were.
She now claims that there is a video tape of Tiger and herself in, how shall we say, flagrante delicto. After performing an intricate series of calculations involving present value, interest rates, exchange fluctuations and moon phases, she concludes that the value of this tape is worth at least $350,000. Nobody should snicker at this because the calculations for all collectible art are made in more or less the same way. Apparently, porn distributor Vivid Entertainment would be interested at this price level. Or perhaps even Tiger himself for posterity. He can file it under PRO-AMS, where in this case, he would be the amateur.
The factor of potential embarrassment to Tiger may be one of the factors in determining the $350,000 price tag for the cinematic treasure and that’s a fair bit of change, certainly more than any movie Michael Moore will make again. This of course begs the question, why would Tiger be embarrassed? This whole episode has already cost him his marriage plus a few hundred million dollars plus perhaps a place in history. So what would embarrass him? That he had carnal relations with a woman? Hardly embarrassing. The world didn’t think he dated these women to talk swing changes. Would he be embarrassed about perhaps physical shortcomings? Unlikely. Tiger is not known to leave his putts short. I think perhaps the only thing that could be seen as possibly embarrassing is if he insisted the gals put on Phil Mickelson masks. In that case, $350,000 may be cheap.
But you can’t blame a gal for trying. With her loose lips and resultant declining client list, another major may be hard to get in her lifetime. Tsk tsk to poor Tiger. He shouldn’t have been playing out of bounds.
