Complain directly to Kelloggs.

VISA
Speedo
Omega
Pursport
have affirmed continued sponsorship.

Let them know you support that.
They do pay attention to that in particular.

Good idea. I just did. They have a form on their web site that makes it easy to contact them.

I have no problem with him smoking pot. I have a problem with him being an idiot about it. For THAT he should be punished.

Yup...his problem was that he let it become a Kodak moment. Seems like he is developing a pattern--he does something stupid after each Olympics. He got arrested for DUI after the first Olympics and now the pot thing after this one.

It makes sense though. He probably trains so intensively that afterwords he just wants to let his hair down an party.

Exactly.

No problem.

yes he should have stood up and said, "hey I smoke pot and it should be legalized! I have no control over people with cameras or videos in their cell phones!

The guy who took the picture should be punished or beat up bad!

The guy who took the picture should have sold it or he is adumbass. Phelps should have snatched that camera up and swallowed that SD card, or destroyed said camera.

Dumb bastard is 23 or so and just kicked his own balls. He will recover, but it will take a few years. He just needs to kick ass at the next Olympiad and move on. (I bet mommy was irate)

Pot is good!

It's not a danger to society, but a

PLUS!

Phelps coulda showed some spine and rather than retreating to lick his wounds, came out with a bold and educated position for legalizing the damn stuff.

that story and the study is complete and total bullshit.

every time marijuana becomes a hot topic, the government releases some bogus study about it affecting peoples privates.

"low sperm count"....um, yeah.

my ass, i have ALOT of children, and a HIGH sperm count and i've been puffy since i was 14.

"testicular cancer"......thats it, you want to scare a young male into not smoking pot? tell him his wiener will fall off, it works every time.

read the articles closely, and you'll see thru the scientific mumbo-jumbo math to the actual findings.

what a crock of shit, and i for one dont believe a word of it.

now where's my fucking bong, i'm pissed, and my balls hurt for some reason.

Dropped Kishas Quote - Quoted the wrong person

Hero? Its illegal - and there are a lot of things that should not be illegal. Simply getting caught doesnt make him a hero IMO. Would I be a hero for not paying my taxes and getting caught?

Hey, why did you quote me!? I don't think he's a hero. I just think he was stupid getting caught on film. :)
