In absolutely shocking news, people are apparently wicked pissed at “Golfweek” magazine for featuring a rope noose on its cover as part of its coverage of the whole Tiger Woods lynching saga. ![]()
“The editor of Golfweek magazine said he was overwhelmed by negative reaction to the photo of a noose on the cover of this week’s issue, illustrating a story about the suspension of a Golf Channel anchor for using the word “lynch” in an on-air discussion about how to beat Tiger Woods.
“We knew that image would grab attention, but I didn’t anticipate the enormity of it,” Dave Seanor, vice president and editor of the weekly magazine, said from the PGA Merchandise Show in Orlando, Fla.
“There’s been a huge, negative reaction,” he said. “I’ve gotten so many e-mails. It’s a little overwhelming.”
Seanor said editors at the magazine debated several choices for a cover, and he took responsibility for the noose.
Makes one wonder exactly which cover choices they rejected, before going with the hot sexy noose one. Nice choice, fellas.
