is to not have your fucking photo taken when you are doing a bong!
Can we please do away with all of the hand-wringing and panty-bunching of how Phelps is supposed to be some sort of role model for kids?
So he smoked some weed, boo fucking hoo. The guy is a swimmer; he's good at jumping in a big pool of water and swimming faster than anyone else in the world. He's not embued with super-morals or even super-intelligence. As far as I know, he cannot write a sonnet, analyse DNA, deconstruct a Hemingway novel, solve a quadratic equation compute celestial orbits or shoot an apple from the head of a child.
He can, however, swim very fast and win a shitload of gold medals doing it. He is the best there is at his sport.
Phelps is not perfect in every facet of his life. Big deal. Phelps at least can do one thing very well. That's more than George Bush will ever be able to say. Many of the same people who are decrying Phelps's doing some grass had no trouble voting for a recovered coke-head and current drunk as president in 2000 and 2004, despite his glaring lack of any recognizable talent.
So if Phelps feels like smoking some pot, leave him alone.
And maybe, just maybe, it is past time that we re-think this bogus "war on drugs."

Very true, morality from a cereal company.
A cereal company founded by a chap into eugenics and who had some strange attitudes to sex.
Agreed, Comrade. Here was my post on the topic a couple days ago:
If I have to listen to another flabby soft sanctimonious teevee douchescrote cluck at Michael Phelps for smoking a motherfucking bonghit, I’m gonna projectile vomit. What percent of those cockspankers do you think have sparked up? 90? 95?
And fuck Phelps, too, for rolling over and begging for forgiveness for his “bad judgment”. Sack the fuck up, you fucking greedy quisling! Sparking up some kind bud with your pals is *good* judgment, and you know it, asshole.

Well, see, you have to understand the consequences. When kids see that, they might get the impression that if you do some smoke once in a while, it's still possible for you to become successful at something. And that can't be true. Can it?
I mean, c'mon, didn't you see "Reefer Madness"? Jeez...
It made me like him more.
