It Was A Matter of Time



This is what Michael Phelps had to say after a picture of him smoking pot was put on blast:

“I engaged in behaviour which was regrettable and demonstrated bad judgment. I’m 23 years old and despite the successes I’ve had in the pool, I acted in a youthful and inappropriate way, not in a manner people have come to expect from me. For this, I am sorry. I promise my fans and the public it will not happen again,”

Child, if you are a celeb with million dollar endorsements, you should suck on a bong in the privacy of your own home! There's a lot of haters out there that would love to blow up your spot.

Interesting how the media is making him feel bad about pot smoking, yet if he went to a keg party and did massive hits of booze, he would just be one of the boys. Funny how one type of high is bad and another is allowed.

There goes the Coke endorsement.

Camera phones will f***-up your day. He was probably trying to come off as "regular" with a bunch of college booty and got caught-up in someone's opportunity for profit.

Not to mention that alcohol is, really, a MUCH worse problem.

Maybe he can get a spot endorsing the other kind of coke....

Damn. Seth, beat me to the joke. Well, my other question is how do they know it was pot. Maybe it was liquid oxygen because we all know that he's part fish...

Who doesn't at 23...

That sentence is like some kind of an Olympic oxymoron! LOL
