No more Kellogg's cereal boxes for Michael Phelps

Michigan

They dropped him today as a commercial spokesperson after the bong photo.

E-Z Wider is lining up for the next endorsement.

I wish he would have bonged but not inhaled. Life would've been so much easier for the free world, with that type of admission.

Oh well , no more corn flakes for Michael.

Phelps is also an avid poker player:

That made me laugh out loud.

Cereal box collectors world wide are in full panic mode.

Maybe this whole incident is a scheme by speculators to intentionally get him banned from Kelloggs, thereby dramatically increasing the demand for the "rare" Kelloggs cereal boxes with Phelps picture on it - I just looked at an auction site and a PSA 8 Kelloggs Phelps cereal box just sold for over a million dollars.

Michael says the hardest part is explaining this to his mother.

Bill Clinton says : "I never inhaled".

Kelloggs says "No Soup for You".

Our president smokes and gets to keep his Blackberry.

Phelps is just a clown. How stupid can he be?

Total BS.

I hope those who compared his one time lapse of judgement to killing dogs and drunk driving feel justice has been served.

Didn't he also get arrested for drunk driving?

I think the only thing Phelps did wrong was to put himself in a place/position to possibly have someone take his pic. Smoking pot IMO is no big deal and is waaaaay over blown by hyper crazies who think it is a gateway drug to other drugs/crimes. I say BS to that. When we get to the meth-crack-ice-heroin level, THAT needs to be illegal. I also think pot should be legalized, but, that's just my opinion.

Phelps had an image to protect and he was dumb to think he wouldn't get outed by the picture taker. Had he been in some faraway cabin on a lake in Idaho and far from prying eyes, and ENSURED there were no cameras around, all this would never have come to light. Much ado about nothing, but the "perception" people have of pot will indeed cause him much loss of coin and remain with him for life. Ain't fair, but it is what it is. Too bad he wasn't "caught" with a few hotties in a "compromising" group session and no pot.

Probably the most expensive bong hit in the history of man.

the cereal contract was small potatoes and was due to expire within a month anyway. No big deal.

We've all heard it before. When you been caught doing something, all that means is that you were CAUGHT doing it. It doesn't mean that was the FIRST AND ONLY TIME you did it.

It was probably inevitable that Phelps would have a downfall at some point, the outsized expectations of him being this superhuman
role model for kids was ridiculous anyway. When you elevate someone that high it means any transgession is going to be magnified beyond reason going the other way.

Imagine all of us at 23 with millions of dollars in our bank accounts what we would have been caught doing if there was camera phones back then?

Geez, I would of have made Phelps look like a saint - to me this is not a big deal, the bigger deal is this plus his diu arrest a few months ago. this is no longer isolated events they are now turning into a 'body of work" - this worries me. Typically people who lived their lives so ridgly like he had did to accomplish the things he did eventually rebel. Question is will he bounce back and mature like Ray Lewis or does he go down the Jennifer Cappriatti (sp?) path
