Hmmm. What to do? What to do?
An Olympic athlete with 14 gold medals and a taste for partying.
Will Michael Phelps' lucrative endorsement contracts be null and void since he was photographed sucking the hell out of a bong?
Is this sending a message to college kids that they better not invite Mr. Phelps over for a party or he's liable to suck down all the beer and smoke all the weed?
Or does it say you can be an Olympic athlete earning millions for your endorsements and still be a pot head?
Whatever.
Michael Phelps didn't win his medals because he's smart. He earned them because he's a maniac. Obviously he puts just as much of his joie de vivre into getting high as he does into swimming like a dolphin.
This will undoubtedly disturb some people, like the US Olympic Committee for instance.
For me, not so much. I am vaguely amused.
