PETA is at it again, with a billboard referencing the Tiger Woods sex scandal.
http://www.mcall.com/sports/all-tiger-woods-billboard-022510-cn,0,5483374.story?track=rss
The billboard, which prominently features Woods with "Too Much Sex Can Be a Bad Thing..." in big letters, has fine print promoting local spay and neuter programs. PETA claims they chose to reference the Woods scandal as a means of getting the public's attention away from the incident.
Yeah, because nothing makes people forget a scandal like CASHING IN on it. :rolleyes:

They just don't get any.

I would think Tiger could sue PETA for this. I doubt he would have allowed this to happen.

Well I doubt that he could, it's not like their saying something about him that isn't true, and their not using his image to sell anything either, their just using his image to promote their agenda.

I think its a funny commercial. I guess PETA finally did something that is actually right. I wonder if the cows are spayed/neutered before they make those tasty burgers.

Actually he probably could, but honestly, dragging PETA into a court room over it would simply serve to extend the time Tiger suffers from his misdeeds by many years. Nothing in the US legal system happens very quickly, and PETA would probably actually love to have several years of the media discussing their billboard every few months as the case progresses.
It's actually a clever move by PETA... Even though they are total whack jobs...

I think the use of his image is much like any celebrity and could end up costing PETA plenty. Of course... his wife could have sold them the rights. :D

darwin.. :headscratch:

What does Darwin have to do with this... :headscratch:
I heard that Woods threatened to sue so now they're going to use Governer Mark Sanford instead.

A remark on the collective and chronic stupidity of PETA.

Yep, at least the males. Male beef cattle are gelded at a young age to keep the meat from having a "gamey" taste and make them easier to manage.
-
LOL, you know not much of what you talk.
In the case of a bull, it has little to do with taste. Castrating has more to do with management, since the aggressive factor goes away. The meat will become fatter at younger age, and the animal will weight less at optimal slaughtering age, so castrated ones are more aimed at outside management, while intensive beef production in inside units and smaller units will skip castration in order to benefit from the faster growing and a bigger carcasse with relatively lean beef.
Sheep, on the flipside will really have a gamey taste once the rams are entering heir liveliest period, making the meat absolutely inedible. Well, try eating a sack of wool :D
-
Well I will defer to you on the matter of taste, just what I was always told growing up. I didn't know about inside management, btw having only seen cattle free ranged other those on farms. (As much as the west has been fenced in these days can we still call it "free" ranged?)
I can see where management would be less of an issue if they were corralled up for the most part. With the demand for leaner beef these days, I guess they would have to do something like that. But doesn't that raise the production costs quite a bit? Also I imagine there is more of a problem with health and sanitation issues keeping them within a smaller area, or is inside management a lot larger than I am imagining?
Always ready to learn.

My wife has her masters in IP law and I asked her about this situation. Simply put, yes he could sue if they used his image without his permission and if the state he lives in allows it.
