Tiger and the Goofy Cigar Guy

No this is not the latest sex scandal to hit beleaguered golfer Tiger Woods, with a déjà vu of Monica Lewinsky’s flavoured cigar incident. Andy Warhol had said that everyone would have his 15 minutes of fame, but cigar guy at the Ryder Cup is refusing to fade away from the google trends hotness list, and ruling the roost every other hour or so.

Some say that is a deliberate publicity stunt to garner attention, or even a photo hoax. At the ryder cup, this man in the background had dressed for the kill: an onion shaped headgear, that at a closer glance looks like a wig, or a botched Photoshop job. The hair is the back is of a flaming henna tint. If you have not already, just go check out the gimmicky pic.

The luxuriant moustache he has stuck on would make Agatha Christie’s Belgian detective Mr.Poirot sit up and take notice. The handlebar moustache has been waxed eloquent with pomade, or just stuck on with industrial strength glue. Some say is photobomber overdid it with the cigar, but that is just the point.

It is like the dream where you turn up naked for a Halloween costume party bash, only this guy was flaunting his bizarre garb with the swish set at the Ryder Cup as Tiger was teeing up. Was he trying to ape Miguel Angel Jimenez, the Spanish armada golfer? But you would be loony to try and find reason in madness. And in the internet meme age, you just gotta grab a photo-op with a vengeance.
