I agree with you. But a moralist might say that these celebrities are regarded a heroes, and their behaviours are emulated or become "acceptable" among their fan base.

As an inidication of this, I said in Foo when Tiger's woes emerged, that men in bars across the world were cheering because that's what they would if they could, and women in bars across the world were wondering how they could get a bit of Tiger's action (or a bit of some other wealthy celebrity if Tiger was all booked up).

Having said that, Tiger's misdemeanours are beyond doubt, on self admission. Condemn away.

But I cannot understand how a thread can go so long and condemn a man here when there is no hard proof beyond reasonable doubt tabled in a court of law. The presumption of innocence until proven guilty seems to have evaporated.
