Buying Your TV Attention

 News this morning about a new golf type being established out of Saudi Arabia, called the LIV Tour.

Australian lead folder has defected from the lucrative PGA tour for the payment of $140 000 000. Tiger Woods, a largely burnt out US folding hero was allegedly offered three quarters of a billion dollars. 

How does Saudi Arabia make it's money? Petroleum.  Yep, fuel for the world's cars, jets & co.

Why do they want to invest in golf? Well, the Saudis will have done the math & are confident that through the mechanism of video broadcasting (television or live streaming), the Saudis can profit massively from advertising sales & online gambling. The Middle East, as do others, want you to passively view those ads for many hours & days,  they also want you too buy goods from their advertisers & gamble your hard earned dollars.  

You can be assured that the investors will be confident of regaining their outlays plus profits.  That's a lot of people,  sitting for many hours.

Some surfers I know have died or been treated for skin cancer, so it's a vocational hazard.  Added to this, I have a genetic weakness towards skin cancer. My great grandmother passed in midlife & her daughter, my grandmother, had several skin grafts on her nose to manage skin cancer.  Last month my younger brother Pete had a ...

On the day a gunman nicked ex president Trump's ear the world politcians decried violence as evil, undemocratic & so on, more than 39 people were killed in Palestine. These events highlight mass hypocrisy across the world with regards violence & race.  No one in the media industry will ever mention this hypocrisy.
