    This whole Phelps thing is kinda silly and petty, imo. Oh sure, he’s a “role model” and all that. But role models shouldn’t be perfect.

    its a long fall down from a pedestal. I hate celebrity worship…

    I’m sure Michael Phelps knew ‘twas wrong
    To take a hit off a bong
    He had what it takes
    To Advertise Corn Flakes
    ‘Till Kellogg’s told him, “so long”.

    There once was a swimmer named Phelp
    Who used to eat a lot of kelp
    when he’d swim in a pool
    It sure made him drool
    And he thought that a bong hit would help. ;-)

    Whatya, think?
