Ask not for whom the bong tolls...

Recently a photo has been published of Olympic swimmer Michael Phelps taking a hit off a bong. This apparently is front page news. Well, here's my 2 cents. WHO FUCKING CARES? Now pay attention because this will probably be the only time I'l ever defend this douchebag. The guy trains 32 hours a day. If you think that's impossible then you've probably never used a bong, but I digress. He was on a break from training, and was trying to relax. So let him. This was not a federal offense. He got high, big fuckin' deal. He wasn't high when he won every gold medal at the fuckin' olympics (including downhill skiing and the equestrian events somehow), so get over it.

"But he's supposed to be a role model!" people say. No, he's not. He's a swimmer, and a damn good one. That's why he was all over my fucking television all summer long, so much so that I wanted to kick all of his snaggle teeth out of his goofy grin. If you want a role model for your kids, look to yourself. Athletes do not make good role models. They've proved that time and time again.

Besides, even if I agreed that he should be a role model he gave up that right when he was caught for drinking and driving at the age of 19. Given that he's an American, that also means that he was underage. All that seems to have been forgoten because the Americans tend to think that alcohol is basically harmless and pot is the root of all that is unholy.
