The voice in the Nike ad below is that of Tiger Woods' deceased father.

Story via stupidcelebrities.net

Seriously, I don't know which facet to this commercial is more horrifying. Is it the use of the late Earl Woods' voice? Is Nike's crawling through the mud of Woods' personal story in a commercial to sell shoes? Is it the creepy, stunned look on his face? Or maybe the sea change from "Just Do It" to "Well, You Did It?"

Whatever. The entire package gives me the shivering ick. Are you as disgusted by this as I am? And what do you think of Nike's advertising team right now?

Nike and Tiger are admitting the reality and the gravity of the situation...and the reflection it should have. I wasn't thrilled with Nike standing behind Tiger and I never expected Tiger to handle the situation appropriately. But it appears they are. If we assume they intend the worst with this...we'll see the worst in this. If we assume they're attempting to repair, we will continue to look for it. Expect it. And they will Do It. Or they will all lose our support. I support them in continuing their efforts.

I was disgusted by the ad, but when I wrote on Twitter/Facebook that this was more proof that some celebrities will do anything for money, I was surprised that someone defended Tiger/Nike. I think using the voice of the dead father is seriously disturbing, and I can't imagine Tiger giving permission for that.

More proof that Tiger is a creepy guy.
