Phelps or Kellogg's? Who took the "High" road?

I was having a conversation with a friend yesterday regarding Michael Phelps. We came to the conclusion that he may be the greatest swimmer in the world, by winning 8 gold medals, but he might not be the smartest egg in the bunch...

Ok, first the bong was made of glass and everyone can easily see that there is NO smoke in the chamber. Based on discussions from people who have smoked the natural, god given, and illegal herb to the earth, that if he were smoking the mary jane the chamber would have been filled with smoke. In the pictures the chamber was clear.

Second, he acknowledged the fact that he was smoking this substance, despite the fact that there is no real proof of this fact, due to the clear chamber, excepting the fact that he has confessed to this act.

Therefore, he is an idiot. Didn't Bush teach anyone anything these past eight years of deniability and unaccountability? My god man! I think you may have swallowed to much chlorine water in your day.

Third, Kellogg's has dropped the golden egg. If statistics show that nearly everyone has tried marijuana then they blew their load way early on this. They had the greatest Olympic athlete as a spokesman who could sell anyone and everyone that Kellogg's is the best company and has the best products for those with the munchies.

Kellogg's could have made history with a global campaign that their "snap, crackle, and pop" products are perfect for those special moments...Something easy and good to have when you are hungry and don't know what to eat!

Instead they took a "high" road. A high road that in the coming generation will have no more drivers on it due to the nature that there will be no one left driving in the "holier than thou" lane.

Perhaps if he were to have been found to have taken some FDA approved drug from Pfizer or Merck that was found to help him win 8 gold medals the story would have some major other capitalistic result. Those companies would have gone to town on that one.

So, we are left with Phelps, who had a lot of wiggle room to use on this and did it wrong, and we have Kellogg's who wasted a global opportune moment to change advertising history.

It seems that people are more occupied with the Phelps story than with their own necessary concerns for how Kellogg's may use tainted Peanuts and Peanut oils in their products.

Phelps should be glad he is not a spokesman for Kellogg's. They make rather unhealthy, sugar filled, packaged kind of products that the entire world knows that they are mostly processed foods and not the best for you and most people eat when they are stoned. It could have given him a bad reputation to continue to be a spokesman for their products.

It should now be obvious that as Phelps has come forward with the truth it means that he won 8 Olympic Gold Medals while stoned! I mean, even our own President has admitted the act by saying to a question of did you inhale, he said, "Isn't that the point?"

Can we legalize the shit now, please!?
