On my way into the office this morning I heard that news broke of 8 time Gold Medalist Michael Phelps along with a Picture of Micheal Phelps taking a hit from a Bong. It’s all the rage and society is in a huge uproar, all though even moron celebrity Ashton Kutcher came to Micheal Phelps’ defense and even went as far as to attack the person that posted the picture in the first place. Im no huge Ashton Kutcher fan but I am a huge Micheal Phelps fan and seeing how quickly a celebrity like Ashton came to Micheal’s defense made me pretty happy. Im sure Michael’s Mom who is a principal at a school in her area is just thrilled about the news breaking and a Picture of Michael Phelps taking a Bong hit, Im sure she took the week off.
Let’s take a look at a few things here, sure Michael Phelps is a mega celebrity, sure he has won a stack of crisp Gold Medals and broken pretty much every single swimming record imaginable. Does that mean Michael Phelps should get a break from everyone for smoking pot? Not really. Perhaps the simple fact that Michael Phelps is much like everyone else except for the fact that his gift and his talent happens to be that he swims like a damn shark in the pool and can make even the greatest swimmers look silly. Hell there are Iron workers and Plumbers and Cooks and all kinds of people that have a special talent that they display every single day, sure they don’t get the media spotlight that Michael Phelps gets nor will they ever be featured on a cereal box or Letterman for their actions, but they still have special talents. Point being is that Michael Phelps puts his pants on just like everyone else, and just because he’s a mega star hardly means that he should be media wasted because he took a hit from a bong…. or twenty.. The guy has great lungs Im sure he needs the finest Dro and a tremendous amount of smoke to get high in the first place.
My thought is everyone needs to back of Michael Phelps, big deal he took a hit… So did the shithead George Bush and we let that effin moron run the entire country for 8 years. Michael Phelps is a kid living the dream and just because his Mommy and everyone else thinks he should be the world’s greatest role model the fact remains that he is young, under constant pressure and is going to make mistakes. Biggest difference about Michael Phelps smoking pot mistakes or his DUI mistakes is that they are in the public eye, thats it. The fact that some back stabbing douchebag that he trusted dished out the picture of Michael Phelps in the first place is where this story goes wrong, if anything someone should be calling Michael Phelps and seeing if he is ok after being back stabbed, instead of making a big deal out of the fact that he’s not perfect. OMG I said it, “Micheal Phelps is not perfect.” Would anyone really give two shits about Michael Phelps if he still lived in some little town in the middle of no where and he had never won a gold medal and he smoked weed for the last 15 years of his life?? Probably not.
So to you Michael Phelps (as if he reads this crap), congrats on being human and making a mistake or two… You trained your ass off for years to compete for this Country in the Olympics and no one had any problem loving you while you did your thing in the water… Eff the back stabber (we all know them and know them well), all I ask is that you continue to train hard between taking puffs from the bong and you head into the Olympics in 2012 and destroy the competition again, make all the haters and media morons look like assholes yet again.

Go Phelps!!
He shouldn’t have let the pic be taken, knowing how he is in the spotlight daily but then again he should be able to trust his friends enough to no worry about that kinda shit.
Well you know never who’s taking a picture so there’s a good chance he has no idea or had no idea that someone was taking a picture of him hitting the bong. Now the person that took the picture…. Good old fashioned blanket party behind the Michael Phelps training facility.

If we didn’t make mistakes we wouldn’t ever learn anything. All though I think im perfect so I either made a shit load of mistakes when I was younger ooooooooooorrrr Im a natural… or dreaming.
there are a lot more productive issues the media could be covering than Michael Phelps smoking pot a year ago
coffee’s last blog post..Coming Soon: Starbucks Extra Value Meals
I agree, they could be covering more important things like why Dunkin Donuts doesn’t get control to their effin drive thru line. The local newspaper just wrote about this story so it wont be going away any time soon.
I just want to know what kind of weed does MP smoke?
Thats a good question, ask the backstabbing friend that posted his picture
People just want to see bad things about celebrities.
I didn’t see anything bad about it.
Should he stop living his life , because he won 8 gold medals?
People just need news, that’s what our country feeds on.
Phelp is a genius and he made all of us proud.
He is really a cool guy.
I remember he said he want to quit swimming. He had enough of it.
Where’s her girlfriend?
I am sure he didn’t know someone is taking his pics.
I don’t see any point in the whole controversy.
We as US citizen loves controversies.
Well controversy is in entire country , not in US alone.
Wow , I didn’t know about this. Wow
There is going to be massive hit back on this.
Ashton kutcher did a right thing.
He will be back to normal things soon.
Her mom is high school principal?
Its bad time for him.
woooooooooo!!!
Unreal right. Silly Micheal, drugs are for people that can’t make the Olympics.

Everyone is entiltled to mistake he is only a human being no use to go on about what he does is his business i know he is in the spotlight he deserves his privacy to just like anyone else .Proud he wib 8 Gold Medals in swimming.
Keep Training Michael #1 fan
People in the spotlight all the time should be aware of these backstabbing friends. There just there for the money.
Anyway everyone is allowed a mistake in life and no one is perfect
@Harvs I agree I am sure that in Mike’s circle of life there are more than a few leaches on the bandwagon, at least he didn’t end up being charged on a legal level.
I think this go’s to show that weed in moderation defiantly isn’t a bad thing.
i have lost some respect, but not all. i mean he is really talented…but thats hugely disappointing that he does that

Hey. The guy won 8 medals. Let him smoke whatever he wants!!!
Russian´s last blog ..Older Women – Younger Men: The Debate Continues
This story got so much attention that I am starting to think that Phelps did this on purpose. His name was spread around the world.
Don’t agree with Russian.
He will decide himself. But the fact that he won 8 medals and smoke musn’t gave an example for others. It can appear a prejudice that winner must smoke as it was in Hollywood movies not long ago.

i am not understands that why you people are shouting…let him smoke or what ever he wants to do..
Every persons have his/her own choice and life style..once he got to understand the reality then He will be back to normal things soon.
Hi,
Very nice little read.
I think this just shows that smoking a bit of weed now and then really isn’t that bad for you if a guy that has won the most Olympic gold medals ever has done it, then it couldn’t of affected him that much!
All the best

The post is excellent and possess referred this to many associated with my personal pals. I honor for the actual perform a person have done. Thank you once again.
Everybody smokes these days. Nobody is worried about making it public…because it doesn’t bother anyone.
I’m so glad that weed is becoming more and more accepted as time goes on. Cops took 2 bags of weed from me AND my pipe and they let me go.
It will be legal soon…thanks for dedicating a blog post to this subject! I love this stuff.
i agree on many of the things you say author, but why do you keep saying its a mistake? too many people still believe the govenment weed propaganda, that its so harmful and w/e, but it isnt. in fact next time we all see a celeb drinking a beer or having a night out, bust them for it, cause alcohol is way more dangerous than our precious relaxing weed
it wasnt a mistake. he smoked a bowl, prolly enjoyed it and THATS IT, he didnt ruin his life at all, in fact weed prolly makes it a lot better for him, also there are no scientific evidence that says this could ruin his career, cause it only slows you down if u smoke a lot often or when you smoke. i workout a lot myself and do a lot of cardio, ive never had any problems and i smoke a joint or 2 a day, tbh id say it has maken me smarter cause ive started loving debating and reading up on everything i find on the internet or whereever i might find interesting stuff
@Søren D., hey Soren thank you for taking the time to leave a comment and read through one of my posts I appreciate it.
He did make a mistake, his mistake was letting his friends or some jackass that he thought was his friend take a picture of him while he did it.
Just didn’t want you to think that I feel smoking is a mistake, check the smilies
