BIG DOPE Phelps

[Super Sedan]

I wouldn't be surprised if it was some random person at the party who took the picture... or a "friend of a friend" type of scenario. I doubt it was one of his personal friends who took the pic.

undercover papparazi set the whole thing up... they got paid, Leno, Conan, Letterman got jokes, we got laughs, and it seems Phelps got charges possibly pending...

Papparrazi = scum

Showing millions of kids that smoking pot is OK. You have no idea how many kids looked up to Phelps as a role model.

I agree... psychologically at the least, the mind has to think, well, it can't be that bad if someone like Michael Phelps did it or does it. Then, it causes the masses to speak their minds and of course, there are those who think it's ok to smoke weed.

Oh, Phelps is cool cause he smokes weed and such.

well,
first of all he didn't step right out and say look at me I smoke pot and I win medals
but he does and did...

and yes,
maybe there is some truth to your statement but it seems like alot of parents like to blame role models for their lack of parenting....

how is this different than showing a pic of a role model drinking champagne after winning a big match, race or whatever...

one is socially acceptable,
the other is not...
that is the only difference...

my point is that there is no difference between the effects of alcohol and that of pot...
one is mainstream and the other is not,
well it is, it is just has to live underground...
kinda like the don't ask, don't tell mentality...

Drinking or smoking doesn't make a person cool...
winning may make said person cool...

also,
blaming the role model is very much like blaming artist for their music,
like the Columbine incident blaming Ozzy and AC/DC...
