What a bunch of pussies...Kellogg has chosen not to renew Phelps' contract
because of the bong picture. While I don't smoke dope, it's pretty silly
to
think that doing so is some rare thing among early-20s kids, and for
Kellogg to
get all hypocritical and say "it's not the image Kellogg wishes to
portray" is,
well, offensive. So don't put that picture on the box of Wheaties. The
kid is
one serious athlete and Olympic record-setter, and if Wheaties doesn't
want to
portray _that_ aspect of this kid, maybe the assholes can put Daschle and
Cheney
shooting at each other in a un-taxed limo on the ****ing box...

Obviously, Wheaties is now the "breakfast of hypocritical sniveling
Martini-lunching executive pusses"...and equally obviously, even a steady
diet
of crapflakes can't grow any hair...

Screw 'em,

Who are you...Phelps' mother? It would be foolish for Kellogs to continue
(right away) with Phelps. Wheaties cannot portray the athlete - role - model
image of Phelps anymore. People forget the gold and remember only the most
recent.

Bull****. If he had gotten snapped shooting up, busted for 'roids, or voting
Republican, it would be one thing, but we're talking about, um, inhaling, and in
2009. As I said, I don't smoke the stuff, but lots of perfectly respectable
(and not-so-respectable) folks do, just like drinking. And on that, I'd bet if
he had been snapped with a drink or beer in his hand, no one would have so much
as batted an eye - recall it barely made news when he got popped for drinking
and driving, which is one hell of a lot more dangerous (and a lot worse behavior
for folks to emulate) than a bongload of weed. And I'd not be surprised if
Kellogg doesn't suffer some well-deserved blowback from this cowardly decision.
