Enter an Elaborate Piece of Crafty Internet Bullshit!

The Runnin' Scared PhotoProbe: Tiger Woods and The Moment of ManBoob Enlightenment

Sometimes, we see things. Things that can't be unseen. Things that pique our curiosity.

Which Jen and I will faithfully execute, because we're basically obsessing over this image right now. Presenting our very first Runnin' Scared PhotoProbe.
