Michael Phelps on hot seat for controversial photo

Are you serious?
How many bar fights do you know of that were started by a bunch of stoned people?
How many violent wrecks have you seen caused by someone who was high compared to someone who was piss drunk?
How many people have ever overdosed on weed?

umm yeah, that's what i was saying
 
so do we even need to worry about 'big brother'? Aren't we all kinda ratting each other out. Keeping tabs on everyone and tattling? Why else do cell phones have cameras?
 
its not an idiocy, its a right move by a moral company. I will now enjoy eating kellog cereals because I know they are fighting against illegal drugs. They are making sure our children are not learning the wrong way.
 
Kellogg... Ozzie and Harriet don't exist anymore, so why are you still trying to sell them products?
 

I am too, but it's mainly because Generall Mills has better cereal anyway.

While I support one's right to do whatever the hell they want in their own private time, I understand why Kelloggs is doing this. They are well within their rights. That said, I still hope their unwillingness to renew Phelps' sponsorship comes back and bites them in the ass.

Stop trolling you self-righteous, goody-two shoes prude bitch.
Didn't someone already mention that you have already stated your opinion on drugs. So, could you please can it, Officer DARE???

yeah, and let's keep everything that's currently illegal, illegal. because our legislation is sooo correct in every way
 
"All people who live subject to other people's laws are victims. People who break laws out of greed, frustration, or vengeance are victims. People who overturn laws in order to replace them with their own laws are victims. (I am speaking here of revolutionaries.) We outlaws, however, live beyond the law. We don't merely live beyond the letter of the law--many businessmen, most politicians, and all cops do that--we live beyond the spirit of the law. In a sense, then, we live beyond society. Have we a common goal, that goal is to turn the tables on the nature of society. When we succeed, we raise the exhilaration content of the universe. We even raise it a little bit when we fail." ~Tom Robbins from 'Still Life with Woodpecker'
 
"Where there are laws, he who has not broken them need not tremble."

Vittorio Alfieri


"To the law and to the testimony: if they speak not according to this word, it is because there is no light in them."

Bible, Isaiah
 
"One who breaks an unjust law that conscience tells him is unjust, and who willingly accepts the penalty of imprisonment in order to arouse the conscience of the community over its injustice, is in reality expressing the highest respect for law. "

~Martin Luther King, Jr.
 
Kellogg's gets dumped down the drain

S.A.M. said:

I'm boycotting Kelloggs products for this idiocy.

An interesting piece from The Business Insider:

When Kellogg announced it would not renew its endorsement contract with Olympic medalist Michael Phelps after a photo of the athelete smoking pot surfaced, it may have cost the food company its sterling reputation, reports company reputation index Vanno.

Out of the 5,600 company reputations Vanno monitors, Kellogg ranked ninth before it booted Phelps. Now it's ranked 83. Not even an industry-wide peanut scare inflicted as much damage on the food company's reputation.
