What a bunch of pussies...Kellogg has chosen not to renew Phelps' contract
because of the bong picture.



Given the revenue Kellogs has undoubtedly reaped over the years from
severe cases of the "munchies", this really is a bull**** move. If
everyone who ever smoked dope at least once refused to buy Kellogg
products, I daresay they'd likely feel the pinch.


Screw 'em,



Finally, something on which we agree.

Do you seriously think that a company founded on Seventh-day Adventist
principles could endorse a doper?

I think Phelps is coming out of this stronger. I heard him interviewed
today. He's learning from his mistakes. Lesson one: Don't toke up in the
presence of strangers with cameras.

Yeah, I do. There were better ways for Kellogg to handle this.
Whatever W.K. Kellogg's priciples may have been, demonizing Phelps'
actions or abandoning the potential of this pretty good kid probably
wouldn't have fit therein. Kellogg is a $12 billion company; its
actions aren't based on SDA principles, they're based on $$$
principles.

(And "doper"? Now, the one incident may not have been the only
incident, but I seriously doubt Phelps is a chronic or habitual pot
smoker. One time gets you the label "doper"? Geez, you sound like my
father.)
