Tiger Woods Mardi Gras Float Almost As Ridiculous As “Leaked” Statement

Pictured here is “Fallen Angel” a Mardi Gras float reveling in the downfall of Tiger Woods in the way that only New Orleanians can revel in anything. According to the person who submitted the photo to Flickr, the float is from Krewe d’Etat. The group is apparently typically both bitingly satirical and political in their float design. Safe to say this falls mostly in the former category. And note the nice detail on the golf club bashed over his head.

Of course, with Tiger’s impending emergence scheduled for Friday, the float isn’t the only oddity that’s surfacing. Naturally, there are patently fake “leaked” versions of his address hitting the Web:

⇥⇥“Directly to the point there is no one to blame but me for the mess I have put my wife and family through. I accept total and complete responsibility. My wife and I have been trying to work things out but sadly things have not worked out. Again all the blame is upon me. We have decided to live apart with me having mutually agreed upon times when I can be with our children. I know that the world wants all the details of what transpired in our marriage but that is between my wife and I and will remain that way. I have to get on my life and that means playing golf again. I have contacted The Masters and have informed them that my plan is to resume The Masters and they have said that they would welcome me with open arms. For that I am most grateful for I deserve nothing. Finally I want to thank all my fans around the world for standing by me when I let you down horribly. I failed all of you about as badly as a person can. I apologize to everyone of you. I promise all of you that you will see a new Tiger Woods, a better Tiger Woods and I will not let you down. Now I’d like, by the grace of God and with His help, to get back to what I do best and that is playing golf. See you all at The Masters. God Bless you all. Tiger Woods.“Not only does that read like the most hastily thrown together speech ever, but I’m pretty sure Tiger wouldn’t close a spoken address by feeling the need to state his own name.

Thanks to Tess Conrad for the float image.
