I don’t know what Augusta National officials can do to prevent this, short of declaring their air space a no-fly zone. In the second aerial Tiger Woods heckle of the day, enterprising TMZ photographers got this shot before the plane even reached the course. “Sex Addict? Yeah. Right. Sure. Me Too.” It’s reportedly the same guy who flew the previous banner this morning, “Tiger: Did you mean Bootyism?” It’s all kind of a low-tech sky Twitter, if you will.
Of course, Tiger has the resources to launch his own Air Force, if he wants. Dogfights over the Masters = golf finally being interesting!
Well, now the identity of the banner prankster — or at least the company that’s flying them — has been revealed.
Video following the jump.
Rhonda Cook of the Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports that a Toledo, Ohio, ad agency, Air America Ariel Ads, handled the arrangements of the flyovers. The company would not reveal who commissioned the ads, however.
But there will apparently be more … on Friday. A total of six messages, according to Jim Miller of Air America Ariel Ads.
“Keep your eyes open,” Miller told the AJC. “They get better and better.”
Miller also would not identify the air strip they planned to use nor would he discuss the cost.
But generally, “the cost is $1,200 an hour plus expenses,” said Miller.
The AJC also reports that the FAA has issued an air advisory for the area, but the key word there is “advisory.” No one can actually get into trouble for ignoring it, although some airports won’t let you take off under advisory conditions.

Harassment campaigns for a fee.
That’s the service that Jim Miller of Air America Ariel Ads is offering. Maybe he’s only willing to go after public figures, but since he’s made himself a public figure now, I think everyone should call him up and ask him how much it would cost to harass their selected victim.

Its too bad that the media/paparazee outlets were not as numerous and aggressive in the 70′s and 80′s when some of these old timers like Jack and Arnold were in their prime to report their indiscretions. I guarantee they have done as much or more than Tiger. The only difference in Bill and other united states presidents is that he got caught. Same with Tiger and other golf stars that are considered royalty.

Okay it wasn’t the media and paparazzi that caught him cheating on his wife. It was his wife that uncovered his other women. She bashed his face with a 9 iron and he drove his vehicle into a fire hydrant and a tree. His neighbors reported the accident and the story began to unfold due to his 4 day refusal to speak to police about the accident. His mistresses began to come forward because he treatred each of them like they were the only woman in his life other than his wife.
Are you saying that just because the media is not watching each and every person that anyone’s father could be a womanizing jackass and their mother a whore?

Golf is an escapist sport. All golfers are sex addicts. They go for a long walk hitting a ball to distract their mind. It’s not even a real sport – your heart rate doesn’t even change. All golfers have ADHD. Golfing appeases ADHD in the mind but physical energy is expressed in their sex addiction. Just do real exercise and live a balanced life with one woman.

publicity, good or bad comes with the territory…
he’s just another celebrity that becomes full of himself, and feels he can do whatever he wants without consequences… he deserves any/all criticism that comes his way…
love that he was stupid enough to bang a porn star without a condom for 3 years, get her pregnant twice, only to have a miscarriage and then an abortion… he’s quite the role model… typical celebrity trash is more like it

that would be awesome! holding a sign, heckling your cheating boss… priceless. The problem with your analogy is that Tiger is no one’s boss except his own. He creates his own hype, good or bad, and has to be accountable for it. It comes with the territory of being a celebrity. Most fuck up… that’s why the average Hollywood marriage lasts less than 2 years.

celebrities are in the public eye and open to public criticism just as much as they are open to praise, rewards, etc… your life becomes an open book. You either deal with it as a responsible individual (which most don’t) or you make an ass out of yourself for the world to see.
People will always take pleasure in seeing these astronomically overpaid multimillionaires make fools of themselves. I know I do… they are in fact there for our entertainment. If they weren’t, they wouldn’t be getting paid since no one would be watching them and as a result their would be no sponsor and endorsement money.
I’m sorry but screwing a porn star for 3 years, getting her pregnant twice (one miscarriage and one abortion) all while smiling, and being the shiny, squeaky clean ‘combinasian’ the world has accepted as the greatest ever to play in his sport is HUGE news… and he will have to face the jury for it!

where’s the famous female intuition here? don’t tell me, she didn’t have a clue of what was going on, she just either shut her eyes or swallowed her pride or both. Used to the lifestyle she obviously didn’t wanna take any risks. Plus, which model likes to admit her man had to go PAY for sex with women that are much much uglier than she is? I’m not saying, kudos to Tiger, but I am saying: shame on you, Elin, shame on you.
