Golfweek Editor Fired

After attempting to spark newsstand sales with a noose on the cover (here) in reference to a Golf channel anchor comment about lynching Tiger Woods.

Editors do all kinds of shit to sell magazines on the newsstand but I can’t imagine what this guy was thinking.

    Funny thing is, if you search Corbis for “noose”, you’ll actually see the RF image he used.

    Sucks to lose your job over a $200 stock photo (and because you’re not thinking).

    Yeah, at least if he’d hired a photographer to make and shoot one they might have tried to talk some sense into him.
