Tiger Woods and Nike creates buzz with New Commercial

On April 7th, Nike aired the latest Tiger Woods Nike commercial. Filmed all in black and white, Tiger stands alone, staring into the camera. The voice is his father, Earl Woods is speaking. Tiger appears to be listening.

The 23 second long commercial has cause a controversy among casual sports fans, the media, as well as golf purist. Some have indicated possible infringement issues because of using the voice of someone who did not directly give permission to have their voice used. Others feel like he’s trying to hard to get back in the public’s good graces. Many members of the media have expressed that it’s to early for Tiger to start making commercials again-that he must first take care of his family issues, then prove himself again on the golf course. Some have even said the commercial is boring.

Yet Nike (the only company that did not drop Tiger as their sponsor) has never backed away from using Tiger to grab the worlds attention. Remember “Hello World” and “I am Tiger Woods” commercials? Whether you like the ad or not, Nike has acheived it’s purpose: get everyone to watch, and get everyone to talk about it. Mission accomplished Nike.

Corey Haim Obtained 553 Pills in Weeks Before He Died

In a month leading up to his March 10 death, Corey Haim illegally obtained a massive amount of prescription drugs by "shopping doctors," using fraudulent prescriptions, an alias and giving several medical excuses, the California attorney general said in a press conference Tuesday.

In a 32-day period ending just five days before he collapsed in his mother's L.A. apartment, Haim possessed at least 149 tablets of Vicodin, 195 tablets of Valium, 15 tablets of Xanax and 194 tablets of Soma, according to Attorney General Edmund G. Brown, Jr., who called Haim the poster child of prescription drug abuse.

Haim, 38, went to seven different doctors and seven different pharmacies to obtain the doses, Brown said. The actor also collected the drugs from emergency rooms and urgent care facilities.



The top state prosecutor's office had been investigating a prescription drug crime ring for the past nine months when a fraudulent prescription for OxyContin – that originated from a stolen doctor's pad – turned up in Haim's name.

Witnesses told investigators that Haim, who had multiple stints in rehab, had abused drugs since he was 15. In the months before he died, Haim "was preparing to do a media special on how easy it was for him to obtain pain medications," according to the attorney general's statement.


Haim Was "Very Convincing"
Haim's doctors told drug enforcement agents that the child actor was "very convincing" in his request for prescription meds. Although Haim's primary care physician confirmed to investigators that the actor was addicted to prescription meds, he also sought drugs from other doctors, telling them he suffered shoulder pain that occurred while filming a movie in Canada.

According to the attorney general's statement, Haim told doctors that he wasn't seeing any other physicians and stated he planned to have surgery. He also told certain doctors he had "depression issues."

On March 17, an arrest was made of a suspect tied to the drug ring, and Brown said Tuesday that more arrests were expected. No other celebrity names have turned up in the investigation thus far.

Although police mentioned an overdose as a possible cause of Haim's death, the official determination is pending toxicology results.

Haim was laid to rest in his hometown of Toronto on March 16.
