Phelps Phony Phatness

[stuweed224]

Get lost dude. You smoked pot, enjoyed it and still you bow to the BS called
the spotlight. Turncoats like you are not the hypocritical folks we want representing smokers around the world.

Instead of the truth, you lie about what you did and why. More fodder for the
anti-campaign zealots.

The fact is you smoked pot and other than the stupid stigma of the expose,no harm was done by you or to you. Bet your smoking buddies appreciate your lack of candor as much as I do. Be sure to drop a dime on your cronies to make sure the authorities believe your lame apology. I sure don't.:mad:

[MonkeyBone]

I second that.

[zeitgeist]

im not gonna lie, i wouldve done the same thing phelps did. I wouldve cashed the whole bowl in one puff too haha!!!

[dragonrider]

Didn't all he do was to say he made a mistake and he was sorry? What's so wrong with that? I would have done the same thing. He has $50 million in endorsement contracts he stands to lose from bad publicity --- he made a mistake and he is sorry, true enough --- made a mistake letting himself get photographed, and sorry he might lose $50 million, so it is a perfectly true statement. I cut him some slack on this one. What do you expect him to say? "Weed makes me swim faster?"

[luciddreamer]

I expect him to say that he doesn't regret it, it hasn't harmed his athletics at all etc.
First I would have denied it though and said I was fucking around with some mates, we took a picture of me with a bong or something. He's a moron obviously, anyone else would deny it, the picture doesn't even look like him.

Anyway, stuweed224 write a letter to him saying this, it's much more productive then putting it here.

I don't think Phelps ever set out to be a marijuana activist, so it's not really fair to hold him to that standard. Lots of people lie about their weed use or make excuses to save their jobs, and they don't have $50 million to protect. You yourself said you would have lied about it.

[Weedhound]

Wow....Phelps needs to live up to YOUR standards I guess lucid, his own are not enough.

No judgment there about others. :wtf:

[LolaGal]

Cut the dude some slack!

If I had all that money to lose from contracts, I'd say I was sorry too.

Hell, I lie to employers all the time. They ask, Lola do you do drugs? I say no and give them somebody else's pee. I only got $30K for my work, and I lied my ass off to get the job.

If that hottie wants to smoke & lie about it, just means he's like everybody else. Who admits they smoke to the man? Not anybody with any sense.

p.s. Mike, come get high with me anytime! I'll keep my mouth shut & swear you never took a single hit........(damn that man has a HOT body) swoon/swoon.

[KingKronic420]

seriously, get off the dude's jock. he smoked some pot and got caught, yeah dumbass move.

do the politically correct thing and apologize, keep the money and endorsements and go in your room and toke a bowl when noone is watching this time.

I'm in no position to take anything away from the guy, and you are certainly entitled to think he is hot. But he seems kind of odd looking to me. As sson as he takes off the swim cap, all of a sudden his ears deploy like Dumbo getting ready for takoff. And I read somewhere that one of the reasons he swims so fast is his strange body proportions --- he's like somewhere around 6 feet tall, but his arms are so long they would be proportional on an 8-foot tall giant, and his legs are so short they would be proportional for a 4-foot-tall midget. Super long paddle arms and short little flipper legs --- he's like some kind of water ape with big ears.

But like I said, I'm in no position to criticize. When I'm in the water, I'm a lot more like a manatee.

ROFLMAO! Dragon, you slay me....... I never said he was cute, just a hot body! Once he takes that swim cap off.....

[thcbongman]

Mike Phelps is the man. This shouldn't even be a big deal, it's just cannabis.

[dragonrider]

Ha ha! Ok, I see what you are saying. I bet he gets that a lot, "Mike, you wanna come over to my place? But just one thing, will you keep the swim cap on?"

Well said!!! :thumbsup:

Let me get this straight: The three most recent presidents of the Unites States all smoked marijuana, and this guy is being suspended from the Olympics, and loses his contract to advertise corn flakes, because he did the same thing.

[stuweed224]

Exactly. He lost that all mighty endorsement money,got his hands slapped, had a major buzz kill,and promised not to get high anymore. Or did he promise not to get caught again?
Anyway, I doubt that bong will be kissing his lips again.
Wouldn't it be ironic if the person that got paid for the pic also owns the bong and lists it on eBay?:D

And I guess I have to live up to your standards then huh?
No, I was just stating what I think he should have done and I stand by it.

Anyway,
That's what I'm talking about, smoking some weed isn't seen as being that bad anymore. He could have lied in the first place (obvious response anyone would have) since it WAS only a photo which could have been anyone (he should fire his representative). If it was proven to be him, just say yeah I did, so what? etc. etc.

Sounds like a surefire way to definitely lose all his contracts.

As usual I'm right. Bong owner tried to sell it on eBay and is now looking at charges along with a few others. Smoke 'em if you've got 'em. Phelps Bong Worth $100,000? (http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2009/02/10/phelps-bong-worth-100000_n_165634.html)

[thefrenchman]

Ashton kutcher and Seth Myers kinda stood up for Phelps which is probably easier since they arent in the hot seat.

Heres what kutcher said: (from: Ashton Kutcher stands up for Michael Phelps - Access Hollywood - msnbc.com (http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/28981754/) )



â??I wish the media would kill this Phelps story. God forbid he hit a bong. Go ask your 20 year old kid what they did last weekend,â?� Kutcher wrote Monday morning.

â??Iâ??m not saying it was a smart move. But he doesnâ??t need to be publicly outed for it. Who ever put the pic out is an a--!â?� the actor continued. â??Heâ??s a good kid. BTW he could be a real douche but heâ??s not. Maybe the media can quit dragging his d--- in the dirt.â?�

There are some serious idiots involved with this thing. My criticism of Phelps would not be that he smokes weed, of course, but that he apparently parties with greedy, back-stabbing, half-wit morons.

Right on the fucking nose with that.

Kudos to you Sir. :thumbsup:
