We linked last week to the hilarious Chinese TV “reenactment” of Tiger Woods crashing his car.

Also cashing in is Break Media, with a pretty lame online game that’s been played  1.5 million times.

LA Times columnist Chris Erskine has an interesting take, remind us of the counter example of Laker A.C. Green.

…”Just do it,” you said. And you did.

Pro jocks? Maybe they shouldn’t wed at all. Maybe they shouldn’t make life commitments until they are no longer on the road half the year, surrounded by beautiful cocktail waitresses who are barely covering the rent (and themselves).

Women with few scruples — and crippling debt — only seem to be your friends. In that moment, near closing time, when they are pretending to hang onto every word of your dull, self-centered stories, what they are really hearing is “ka-ching, Bloomingdale’s, ka-ching, ka-ching, Tiffany’s.”

Hugh Hefner, the Brett Favre of sex, weighs in to say he’s not surprised at the Woods scandal, for monogamy is a flawed concept.

“I think the only surprise in it, quite frankly, is that anybody would be surprised,” the Playboy mogul told E-Online.

Marriage, he says, “is very nice for raising kids, but the notion that monogamy lasts forever is a wish!”

Thus spake the most famous and creepy case of arrested development.

Ex-Laker and tower of integrity A.C. Green says he believes that Tiger’s drive to succeed might be what brings him through this mess.

“The thing about him is that he is a great competitor,” Green said. “He has a history of coming back from behind, and I think that will serve him well.”

You no doubt remember Mr. Green. He won three championship rings with the Lakers, and became known as the NBA’s iron man, playing in a record 1,192 straight games. He didn’t miss a basketball game for almost 15 years.

But there was another streak in Green’s life that may be even more remarkable: the abstinence streak. The deeply religious Green took a vow of chastity until marrying in 2002, meaning he remained “pure” through the Lakers’ “Showtime” era.

Think of that. The Lakers are probably sports’ most sexually charged franchise. Laker Girls do the sort of hip thrusts that can take the rust out of Jerry Buss’ hair. Through all that, Green remained a virgin. Talk about an iron man.

A.C. Green was the 40-year-old virgin before there even was a “40-Year-Old Virgin.”

For you youngsters out there, “virginity” is a rare and often controversial condition. To be a virgin means that you have not engaged in sexual intercourse. It’s a quaint notion that went out with buggy whips, coal furnaces and the Clinton administration.

Admittedly, it’s difficult to maintain a moral equilibrium when all your preachers and congressman seem to be living life on the edge.

Now, welcome the extremist views of Mr. Green, a man who led a moral life, an actual role model. His views may seem saintly and Victorian — but his behavior and personal code of ethics certainly make things feel less hopeless.

Dignity, he reminds us, remains an option.

Looking back, Green said Tuesday, his Lakers teammates initially didn’t buy into his chastity vow.

“But as time went on, when the guys saw some consistency to the way I was handling my life, they gradually came to accept it, to the point where some asked me to talk to sons and daughters,” he said.

Green, who majored in speech communication at Oregon State, speaks carefully and well. He doesn’t scold or proselytize. Through his youth foundation, he aims to alert adolescents that there is another way.

“The future is yours to define,” he tells at-risk kids. “It’s not defined by the public or what people think is popular. It’s defined by you.”
