Re: Poll: Does anybody care about Michael Phelps and his bong?
I don't understand it, as much as the rest of society, especially the media, embraces drugs and alcohol the way that it does, when we find out that some athlete does it and it turns into national controversy. Just because he's a role model, now everyone thinks all his young followers are more likely to do it, problem is, they probably already were.
But nope, don't care much about it, before or after everyone found out he did it. P.S. - Liquor is better, comes in a much greater variety of flavors |

Re: Poll: Does anybody care about Michael Phelps and his bong?
I don't know, he's from a land far far away, I never met the guy nor does he know about my existance. Whatever he does will not effect me in any other way. So should I care about him?

Re: Poll: Does anybody care about Michael Phelps and his bong?
The option "I don't care what celebrities do with their own lives" was missing so I can't vote...

Re: Poll: Does anybody care about Michael Phelps and his bong?
I just feel he's an idiot because I can't see how any high is greater than what he has already experienced in the Olympics. ..plus, to let your picture be taken...
What the heck did he think would happen..

Re: Poll: Does anybody care about Michael Phelps and his bong?
I don't think people care until the media pretends to, then we're back to this psuedo political correctness and we're convinced that reacting with shock and horror is the right thing to do - even though it is not. Most young people are liberal as a general rule, and since he is from that generation he mostl likely didn't think it would be such a fuss either. I wonder would the reaction be the same had he smoked a joint in Amsterdam.

Re: Poll: Does anybody care about Michael Phelps and his bong?
Oh, come on. Pot's less dangerous than liquor. I'm with Chewie and ElfBane on this... not that it's a surprise or anything like that.
I didn't vote because there's no "mistake" to learn from here.

Re: Poll: Does anybody care about Michael Phelps and his bong?
I didn't vote because the correct answer was not available
which is: YES: and his sponsors have every right to care, He gets paid enough money to keep any of us comfortable for life and in return for that money he has an image to maintain. If he fails his end of the deal, he should have to give the money back. Now if you ask if any single private individual cares....then I would vote, "Not Me" long as he doesnt do it in my house. I will tell you his sponsors would also dump him if he was out in the headlines as a boozer and drunk driver too.
