Subtitles

I know the morning news anchors and crew work as hard as anyone else, but even so, they have become a source of humorous morning entertainment for Lor and me.

In the morning today, they ran a short bit on Tiger Woods and his wife having had a baby less than 24 hours after the end of the U.S. Open. During the bit they showed a clip from an interview with him from just after the Open. At the bottom of the screen, they put a typical caption of his name, “Tiger Woods”, and a subtitle, “PGA Golfer”.

While sufficiently accurate, I would think that being the most dominant and recognizable golfer of one’s generation would earn a slightly more distinguished subtitle, or maybe even obviate the need for a subtitle at all.

Maybe soon they’ll have pieces on “George W. Bush”, “Politician”, or “Steve Jobs”, “Guy in black turtleneck”.
