Tiger's shame in Nike's name

Tiger Woods Nike Commercial
OK, I've thought about it all day because I didn't want to post a knee-jerk reaction.  But, here it is: I hate it.  It's creepsville, it's exploitive, it's unprincipled and it's shameful - on Nike's part as well as Tiger's.  How low must we go in this whole mess?

I replaced the removed video with a link to Nike's site. They have not, apparently, come to their senses. 'Just wanting more hits.

I find the commercial creepy. I find Tiger creepy. Read the article on him in this month's Vanity Fair, for further creepage.
