At least in the "old days" there wasn't an internet to fuel the fire of these types of stories.
So very true. I think a lot of people just really hold themselves in very high regard so when a very public figure like Tiger Woods, someone who seemed almost infallible, is all of a sudden riddled with imperfections it helps society come to terms with their own imperfections and makes it much easier to throw stones at someone "more important". The more problems about Tiger that we know, the easier it is to be our own imperfect selves.

If that makes any sense.

Also, in my case, i just find it entertaining, and I'm studying for finals so anything to take my mind off Laplace transforms.
