Can Michael Vick and Tiger Woods Repair their Public Images by Winning?

I'm not a Public Relations (PR) specialist, but winning may be the best way for Michael Vick and Tiger Woods to improve their public image. Alex Rodriguez certainly got a boost from winning the World Series. Similarly, I feel Vick and Woods would benefit from such successes.

In addition to sports-related accomplishments, I would like to see the following:

A). Vick should appear in a commercial speaking out against dog fighting DURING the Super Bowl. I haven't heard of Vick speaking out against dog fighting since signing with the Eagles.

B). Tiger Woods needs to take a page out of the Michael Vick and Alex Rodriguez books by interviewing on "60 Minutes" or with Katie Couric. I'd recommend staying away from Katie Couric since she always asks the tough questions.

Despite personal stumbles, both Alex Rodriguez and Tiger Woods receive increases in buzz late December 2009 for professional achievements. As we know, Alex Rodriguez's public persona has improved since winning the World Series. I think Vick and Woods would benefit from such professional achievements as well.

Turn the Tub Around - "I Can't Believe It's Not Butter" Infomercial

My wife and I came across this "I Can't Believe It's Not Butter" infomercial on Dish Network channel 125. The video plays over and over continuously. The video is funny, but my wife are I are disappointed to be paying Dish Network for channels featuring infomercials about butter. Overall, we feel we should be getting more high-quality channels for our money.





I think the following comment sums up this video nicely. MissMousy60 on YouTube says, "This is very bizarre. An infomercial for a tub of butter."
