Bootyism - Masters Tourney Cannot Police The Sky

The Masters Invaded By Airborne Pranksters Asking Tiger Woods About "Bootyism"

Augusta National's authoritarian fussbudgets do not yet hold dominion over the skies, as proved by whoever hired this plane to circle above The Masters today. Also, it's $1 wing night at Déjà Vu. [Video via ESPN, surprisingly.]

Send an email to Dashiell Bennett, the author of this post, at dashiell@deadspin.com.

“Bootyism” Banner For Tiger Woods – Tiger Woods is back on the golf course and he’s getting heckled more than just someone occasionally yelling something in the background. Instead, people are being more creative – they are using planes and banners to take jabs at the pro golfer.

Tiger Woods was probably feeling a little better now that he is on the golf course playing in the Masters today. Of course, there was a large crowd, like expected, and with that there was even more security. Apparently, there wasn’t enough security as planes with banners caught a lot of attention from just about everybody.

The first banner that flew by read: “TIGER: DID YOU MEAN BOOTYISM?” This is in reference to Tiger Woods promising to return to his Buddhist ways and that he had drifted away from it for quite sometime.

But if you thought that was the last banner, well, you’re wrong… shortly after the “Bootyism” banner, another one flew by. This one read: “SEX ADDICT? YEAH. RIGHT. SURE. ME TOO!”

I guess it’s going to take quite sometime for Tiger Woods to get back into the non-scandal life. Though, I doubt that will happen any time soon, if ever.

Anyways, “Bootyism” is defined as a religion originating in the east(coast) encouraging the endowment of large quantities of (female) booty, getting booty, banging booty, etc. or Bootyism is a sexy religion often confused with Buddhism according to the Urban Dictionary.

Nike just released its first post-scandal Tiger Woods ad, featuring a simple black-and-white shot of a forlorn-looking Woods in Nike garb, staring into the camera as the voice of his late father Earl Woods plays overhead. “Tiger, I am more prone to be inquisitive,” says the elder Woods in the 30-second spot, which played tonight on ESPN and the Golf Channel. “To promote discussion. I want to find out what your thinking was. I want to find out what your feelings are. And did you learn anything?” The camera slowly zooms in on Tiger’s face, finally flash-cutting in silence to a white Nike logo against a black screen.

Check out the ad after the jump, and then let’s discuss it, shall we?

It’s not clear yet where the audio of Earl Woods, who passed away in 2006, originally came from, but using it to essentially rebuke Tiger for his behavior is definitely all kinds of striking. It’s also intriguing as an act of brand management — Nike’s and Tiger’s. When asked about the ad, Nike’s only response was the following statement: “We support Tiger and his family. As he returns to competitive golf, the ad addresses his time away from the game using the powerful words of his father.”

What’s most interesting to me about the ad is how it plays as an act of both personal and corporate penance. Nike has been one of the superstar golfer’s most steadfast supporters in the wake of the image-shattering revelations of Woods’ habitual infidelity, and now the company gets to justify its loyalty by also serving as Tiger’s surrogate scold. And just in time for his return to golf at one of the sport’s biggest tournaments, too.

What do you make of the ad, Popwatchers? Is it the right first step? Does using Earl Woods’ words from beyond the grave work for you, or is it just simply too eerie? And do you think it’s smart for Nike to be front-and-center on Woods’ national campaign to make amends?

There are new beginnings for both Tiger Woods and Electronic Arts this week as he tees off at the Masters today and EA tries a radical reworking of its strategy for PC sports games.

The free-to-play Tiger Woods PGA Tour Online just launched represents the first EA PC sports title to be moved online. The rest may follow in short order as EA abandons physical media, says Peter Moore, EA Sports president. His thoughts on piracy, virtual goods and the trials of Tiger after the jump:

EA has continued to support Tiger Woods despite his widely reported problems, what was your thinking?

We are now in the 12th year of a relationship with Tiger - almost since he left Stanford - and he has been a tremendous part of our business for that period of time. He lives in Orlando where our studio is, he’s a gamer, our games are about simulating the world’s greatest athletes on the field of play and golf is no different. He’s the world’s greatest golfer until somebody proves otherwise and whilst we’re very sympathetic and very sensitive to the challenges he’s gone through in his personal life, our relationship with him is rooted in the golf and he’s embedded in our game rather than simply being an arms-length endorser which I think he was for many of the other companies that have since said goodbye to him, there’s never been any wavering in our support of him as a golfer.

Is this a testing ground for you in terms of getting PC games online and trying a new strategy here?

It’s a very different experience having to boot up your Xbox 360, load the game and play on a wide-screen TV, this is built to attract people who wouldn’t ordinarily call themselves core video gamers. What we are seeing is people who are actual golfers, that are 40 years of age plus, affluent, have less time on their hands, love the game of golf, play the game of golf - 90 per cent of them responded in our beta survey saying I actually go out on the links and play and we see it as a real complement to our core offering.

This is probably the future of how we continue to grow our business in a world where packaged goods media is flat to declining, how do you bring more people in who wouldn’t ordinarily be customers in the current business model? Having the free experience is very different and it can also be dangerous - our job is to bring people in with no barrier to price or equipment, only a very small download and you are up and running and it’s a good experience streaming right out of your browser.

How much is piracy a problem and the fact that PC game buyers are moving to the console because they prefer the controllers?

There are a number of factors and piracy is an issue. [Tiger Woods on the PC] over the last seven or eight years has declined every single year as people migrated to the console, but we still wanted to offer PC gamers an experience without us having to quite frankly lose money , and that’s what we were doing in the last three years of shipping CD-Roms for PCs and experiencing the piracy issues and sales that had declined from a peak of 8-900,000 units down to a couple of hundred thousand units, with no decline in development and marketing costs. So we said two years ago we’re looking at different ways to bring sport to the PC and today is the first day of the future of what I think is a very entertaining, simple to play, inexpensive bite-sized experience.

If it’s a success, what other sports will you look to move online? Golf looks the easiest to do in terms of keyboard controls.

Golf was the obvious one because first, we have the greatest IP and we’ve been the dominant player, secondly, there’s less going on when you look at the screen, the keyboard is dealing with a single individual. We are launching Fifa online around the time of the World Cup, albeit it being a slightly different model - there is a client download because of the size and scale and a lot of the game mechanic is a manager-type mechanic. But we will be looking at ways to bring all our franchises to the PC, and you can expect to see different takes on our core console games on the PC in the coming years. We are still shipping physical media for our Fifa franchise this year but it’s the only franchise that still has that and that’s to accommodate the globalisation of our Fifa business which is obviously very strong, but there will come a day when all of our PC games franchises will be totally online and that’s probably not too far in the future.

What feedback have you had on sales of virtual goods, are there considerable revenues to be earned there?

It’s going to be a slower burn than normal, compared to our core games which have a huge launch and then drop off pretty radically by week three or four. With the open beta, you could earn dollars but it wasn’t real money. Today it’s full commercialisation. We’re watching the numbers of people who are signing up to subscribe - at $9.99 a month or $59.99 for a full year - and the early metrics off the server show that people are already subscribing on Day One and those are guys who had a good experience on the open beta.

The other slice of the business model is microtransactions so you can go in and buy clubs and other equipment, buy power-ups and individual courses and we have buckets of points that you can buy that will fuel that.

CNN Reports H1N1 Flu May Be Dangerous To Healthy Children

Lou Dobbs from CNN stated on his show that the Swine Flu may be dangerous to healthy kids.

• Get vaccinated. Vaccination is the best protection we have against flu. Seasonal flu vaccine is available now and initial doses of 2009 H1N1 flu vaccine also are available, with additional doses available later this year.


• Influenza is thought to spread mainly person-to-person through coughing or sneezing of infected people.


• Take everyday actions to stay healthy.
  
  
  
  • Cover your nose and mouth with a tissue when you cough or sneeze. Throw the tissue in the trash after you use it.
  
  
  • Wash your hands often with soap and water. If soap and water are not available, use an alcohol-based hand rub.
  
  
  • Avoid touching your eyes, nose and mouth. Germs spread that way.
  
  
  • Stay home if you get sick. CDC recommends that you stay home from work or school and limit contact with others to keep from infecting them.
  
  
  
  


• Follow public health advice regarding school closures, avoiding crowds and other social distancing measures.


• Find healthy ways to deal with stress and anxiety.


• Stay informed. This website will be updated regularly as information becomes available.


• Call 1-800-CDC-INFO for more information.

If you have young children and are concerned about the risk of swine flu, you will be relieved to know that the Shelby County Health Department has received its first shipment of the injectable H1N1 vaccine that is approved for children under 48 months of age.

• Shelby Crossing Clinic, 6170 Macon Road. Clinic Hours: 7:30 a.m.-4:30 p.m., Monday-Friday. Phone: 372.7581.


• Southland Mall Clinic, 1278 Southland Mall, Shelby Drive/Highway 51. Clinic Hours: 9 a.m.-5 p.m., Monday-Friday & on 2nd and 4th Saturdays from 9 a.m.-1 p.m. and 2nd and 4th Mondays from 5-6:30 p.m. Phone: 346.0081.


• Department of Human Services, 3230 Jackson. Clinic Hours: 8-11:30 a.m. and 1-3:30 p.m. on Tuesdays only. Phone: 320.7471.

As vaccine continues to become available, the Health Department will continue to provide information regarding vaccine availability and the types of vaccine available.

For more information about the H1N1 vaccine, call the Health Department's flu hotline at 901.379.H1N1 (4161). Information is also available at www.shelbycountytn.gov.
