I Like ItI Don’t Like It

Photos of Olympic wunderkind Michael Phelps have surfaced featuring the gold medal swimmer smoking the illegal drug "marijuana" through a device known as a "huge bong". Within hours, the Phelps camp responded with a very serious, stern apology... which appears to have been written not by Phelps himself, but rather by a very talented publicist. But what would the man, the legend Michael Phelps have said if he had the chance? We ran his apology through our trademarked (and non-existent) BWE.tv Celebrity Translator, and are pleased to bring you Michael Phelps' actual, REAL apology.

Read the whole story here.

Phelps is a dawg! What's wrong with this boy?! He should party with people he can trust! At 23 that's what he should know by now! I hope his other "friends" gave the source of the pic a good ol fashion butt-kickin'!

Now..Enough already! Hell Obama could have been at that same party 10 years ago! I'm tired of the constant wrecking our celebs. Get a life of your own!

He's 23 and says he should have known better?! Should have known that cameras weren't judging him for everything he does... poor Michael, he's just a young guy having fun!! I hope he gets to have more fun another day without the cameras on him.

Boy, did I waste my time "reading the whole story." It seems put together by complete amateurs with Photoshop. No comedy or writing skills here.

Kind of like The Half Hour News Hour, if you know what I mean.

It was once quoted that ..

"An Unjust Law is No Law at All" .........

This is ridiculous ........ "Legalize It " !!!!

Obama needs stand up and speak the obvious ......... "Yes We CANabis" !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

This will go down in history as one of the dumbest laws of all time .........
Oh yeah ...like prohibition wasn't ????

Grow Up People ...

Tennessee is so backward they took my son away from me and put him into state custody for having paraphenalia, oh and a poster of weed!! I'll be paying Tennessee back for a very, very long time for this one! (I did get him back, but it took lots of money and an attorney who intimidated the judge who did this creative piece of work!)... not that I'm holding any kind of grudge or anything :)

Michael has learned a lesson here, that people are going to be watching him very closely. He must not do anything that he doesn't want to be public. It is the price one pays for fame. It is a shame that a person
works very hard to achieve excellence, to have it damaged by a moment that may have been a bad decision. Doing something that does not hurt a single person.

America grow up! If the man wants to get high - it is his business...let your progeny deal with the real world and perhaps this world would become a better place. Live and let live, judge not, and be nice!

Okay, seriously, if Phelps was smoking before the olympics, as I suspect he probably was, then considering the (admittedly exaggerated) health effects of smoking, all this really tells me is just how damned good he is, to have performed as well as he did after (probably) smoking the stuff for who knows how long

The guy did nothing wrong. He gets a pass from me.

Next.

I would guess that a dude with that type of physical training could do a MASSIVE HIT.

lol.. hahaha. If the 'real' story was a story of omission... then yes, a stoner must have wrote it. and gratefully so.. its short.. to the point, and has no punchline (link). Brilliant!
