The alleged extra-curricular activities of golf superstar Tiger Woods, have been better for driving traffic to websites such as Yahoo than the debt problems and subsequent death of Michael Jackson.
Tiger's sex scandal driving more traffic to Yahoo than Michael Jackson's death
According to the head of Yahoo, the sex scandal currently surrounding Tiger Woods has driven more traffic to websites than the King of Pop’s tragic death earlier this year.
Yahoo said that it had seen a huge surge in traffic to their website as the Tiger Woods saga continues to fascinate the world.
In a statement that will horrify Michael Jackson’s family, friends and fans, Carol Bartz (Yahoo chief executive) said the Tiger sex scandal had been better for business than Jackson’s death in the summer.
Authorities are still continuing their homicide investigation surrounding Michael Jackson’s death, and are now focusing on his personal doctor Conrad Murray, however no formal charges have been filed.
Dr Murray maintains that he did not prescribe or administer anything to Mr Jackson that should have killed him.
Tiger Woods vs Michael Jackson
Ok, this is getting pretty low when the CEO of Yahoo Carol Bertz says ‘God Bless Tiger’ admitting how much traffic this scandal is sending to Yahoo. In fact, many blogs are now saying searches on Tiger Woods have been better for sports websites listed on sports index Dozensports.com than Michael Jackson dying. Are we witnessing one of the first major internet scandals? The immediacy of the internet means that we can now all read minute-by-minute updates of Tiger’s transgressions. But comparing it to Michael Jackson is just plain low. The whole world has an opinion on Tiger Woods but for God’s sake let’s leave the dead out of this.
