Guest Essay by C. Thomas Howell
With my career on the skids, I discovered a great new source of income. I have changed my name to Tiger Woods, and now the checks keep coming. Why? By exploting a little-known loophole in the sports marketing system.
Here is how it works.
a) Change your name to a famous golfer (sorry, I call Tiger's name, but maybe you could have Davis Love III?)
b) When it is time for sports marketing companies to issue checks, they do not access a "rolodex." Instead they simply do an "internet" search on the address of their client. (e.g. Google "Tiger Wood's Address")
c) Do a "googlebomb" on your address, raising it on Google above the real Tiger's.
d) The checks come to your house, instead of Tigers!
Is it illegal? Only if you are not a golfer. So to close this loophole, go in your backyard and take 3-4 practive swings with a club everyday.
I have so much extra cash these days I am self-financing my next film, Soul Man Meets the Hitcher!
