whoops!

So... the great Michael Phelps made a boo-boo. Meh. He's not any less of an amazing person for his bong sucking. Really though, media has spent too much time on this. How old is? 23? For crying out loud! I read an article through msn.com about it... and some of the comments people are leaving are priceless:

- He's probably having pre-marital sex too.
- I'm going to buy an Omega watch and wear it sitting at the pool in my Speedo's (this one is concerning the decision of Omega and Speedo to not remove their Phelps endorsements)
- WOO-HOO ... companies with sense. who cares...let him have fun !
- He actually got his 9th gold medal in Beijing in the "taking bongloads freestyle" event...tee hee hee.
- Personally, instead of wasting money on drugs (shouldn't he feel good without them? If I had his money I would...) I'd go get my palate stretched. I hate his smile - his mouth is twice as wide as his teeth. Instead of spending all that money on swimming, his mother should have had his teeth fixed!
- No one smoking pot ever dropped a nuclear bomb on Japan.
- Pot is good for you. Makes you a better driver, a better lover, maybe a better athlete, cures insomnia, anorexia, cancer, common cold, plebitis, shrinks brain tumors, solves the homeless problem, improves public trainsit, and gives hiphop artists something to do while waiting for mtv to come around and do a crib show. Good stuff.
- But it does explain why he eats so much.

These, of course, are the light-hearted and funny ones (oh! and short ones). I'm pleased to see that most people think it's ridiculous how blown up this has become. I don't like pot in any way, shape or form. But Mike does, so we should just let him smoke in peace.
