This morning.
Outside Portrush, County Antrim.
Bookmaker Paddy Power writes:
We have marked the arrival of Tiger Woods to Ireland for The Open at Royal Portrush with a cheeky reminder of how far he’s come, 10 years on from the worst drive of his life… after he hit rock bottom when an unsuspecting fire hydrant proved no match for his black Cadillac Escalade back in 2009.
…The initial billboard (top), which is the equivalent in size to a double decker bus, features a SUV shaped hole ripped through it.
While the second has a 3 tonne Cadillac Escalade plunged into it.

Paddy Power’s morkeshing team make Deirdre O’Kane seem like Jackie Mason.
Klassy as always, “Paddy”. How are you dealing with gambling addicts these days? Still giving them a fix like a pimp or a pusher?
they are lobbying hard to get the regulation of slot machines in Ireland loosened
“Aren’t we hilarious? Let’s take this embarrassing incident from this person’s past and publicly remind everyone about it and hope to make money from it. Ha ha we are deadly.”
Go fork yourselves. Dirkheads.
“Aren’t we hilarious? Let’s take this embarrassing incident from this person’s past and publicly remind everyone about it and hope to make money from it. Ha ha we are deadly.”
The concept looks like it was created by a few teenage students over a few pints of lager last night.
“… back in 2009”.
As relevant as it is humorous.
@Bodger – why does Broadsheet publish these advertising pieces for bookies? If a tobacco company sent you a a few pics of a promotion they were running, would you publish those too?
Rob-G, not sure. We run booze ones.
Fair enough. And I don’t have a problem with the booze ones; perhaps I am being inconsistent.
It’s just that I have seen much higher proportion of problem gamblers Vs occasional flutterers than I have of problem drinkers Vs sensible tipplers
Unfortunately Rob, you are not seeing it all. Both activities have dramatically changed in the last decade due to online betting, the arrival of bingo and other games and home drinking because of cost and drink-driving laws.
Well considering alcohol is seen as a bigger danger than any other drug maybe you should have a problem with the booze ones.

Say nowt Bodger and of course as always if the eh….* cough few freebies from Jack Daniels come into the Office, you can let me know and I’ll take them off your hands. Don’t want to be putting the Broadsheeter Staff in temptations way, I’ll take the hit for ye.
To angry up the blood.
Quality banter!
Lindsey Vonn hides from Elin Nordegren at softball game. March 2013.
I think this is tasteless and crass. But thats just my opinion I guess…. And I guess it is in keeping with the advertiser who is also tasteless and crass and facilitates a tasteless and crass “hobby/addiction”.
As crap, crass and as stupid as this is, it works. We are talking about it.
I believe the scientific term is “The Leather Jacket Guy” effect.
SPEAK NOT THAT NAME
You mentioned your husband this morning, I’ll do what I want.
Point
bodger deleted that comment and put millie into mod
Like a dagger to the heart it was….
if she does it again, she’ll be memes’ed
stay strong
I’m so tempted but I don’t want to risk it
i think that’s how andyourp feels
What did you do with her anyways? It has been alarmingly quiet round here.
you say alarmingly, i say distressingly
I just don’t know why she feels the need to flaunt it –
I blame Love Island.
How dare you! You know the rule.
That’s Paddy Power’s campaign mission accomplished.
Only works for a certain demographic, their foolishly loyal customers.
The irony of a gambling firm offering us a ‘reminder’ of someones life ‘after he hit rock bottom’.
Top bantz as always PP…
I bet they’ll get some complaints about this. . . .damn.
Jaysuz they’re getting desperate for lad giggles. Absolute scrote advertising. I’m sure everyone involved think it’s cutting edge.
Bottom of the barrel advertising. I’ll bet the creative director still thinks it was great though.
+1
Ugh, fail. Not remotely humorous.
Who cares.. it’s golf. an arrogant, elitist mindless boring sport for unathletic professionals and in the amateur case mostly played and used by untalented and unskilled white middle-elderly aged greedy white males to shield themselves from women and other races while they make deals to carve up society amongst themselves.
The sport of drumpf. Elitist, sexist and racist… Apart from all the enviromental issues and land that should mostly be turned into public parks or public housing etc.
If you’ve ever watched it then it’s no wonder why woods went off the rails…. trapped in a psycho-racial sport based drama for his whole life..
After what he’s been through, I’m sure he’d find it funny as bad as pp are in reality..
:-J
“t’s no wonder why woods went off the rails…. trapped in a psycho-racial sport based drama for his whole life..”
Well that or he couldn’t keep it in his trousers.
Apart from that I think he likes the game :)
All three, to be fair…
