The whole Tiger Woods saga has completely shattered my world view.
The fascination stems mostly from what's not being said, and the fact that it's really people's imaginations creating the story.
This was a guy who people said could run for president. His public persona was one of an upstanding citizen who worked hard for everything he did, had a beautiful wife and kids, and was living a great life. I'm not sure if that whole image was one that he carefully managed or if this was the result of a great PR campaign, but either way, it was one that was held by a large majority of the public.
Stories like this make you step back and wonder how many other celebrities are guilty of projecting a public image that is very different (and in some cases, completely contradictory) to their own private lives.

Actually the reverse tends to be true. The public places people on a pedestal so high no person really meets the criteria. Not to say people are dirt, but no one is infallible. Currently reading Buzz Aldrin's book same thing 40 years earlier.
