Not to mention the whale penis episode.

However bitter, I enjoy your posts. Welcome to the Cellar.

Thank you.

And what the hell was all that nonsense about, anyway? Phelps is - by definition - the greatest athlete ever, and they get pissy because he ripped a bong?

WTF?

Just say no? How impolite. Just say no, thank you.

But I'd rather say yes, please pass the funz stuff.

xoxoxoBruce · 02-15-2009, 05:26 PM

Mazda, who's using Phelps to sell their cars in China, had him make an apology to the Chinese people. That's it, all is forgiven, here's your million dollars, let's sell some cars. Fuck Kellogg's.

Shawnee123 · 02-15-2009, 05:27 PM

Agreed!

He's a kid, relatively. So he smoked some doobage...is that so wrong?

capnhowdy · 02-15-2009, 05:35 PM

Actually it should be a promotional. Maybe he stomps the shit out of everyone else because they don't bump the bongo, eh?
RE: Kellogg's
LOFL... yep. I think they have someone who'll keep 'm crunchitized.
We need this dude on our swim team. Let's all send him some weed.

Special K! Theyyyyyyyy're Gr...uh, what was I talking about?

Aliantha · 02-15-2009, 05:39 PM

I think there's a difference between the demographics for a car manufacturer and a breakfast cereal. I can understand Kellogs point of view here. Lots of kiddies eat cornflakes and Phelps is a role model.

You don't want your kids sucking a pipe after their bowl of cornies do you?...well do you???

Actually, considering the munchies, maybe it was a bad decision to dump him. Instead, they could have come up with a new slogan. Something like, "For the times when you just have to eat something!"

So, of course, he has to stop being anything resembling an actual person, thus rendering him totally unbelievable.

My kids don't have a clue who he is. Now, if you ask them about the latest music video star, well, that's another story.

Oh, yeah. Or "Kellogs: Because stuffing your face with Doritos is gauche".

yea, most people eat the cereal AFTER sucking the pipe!

think of all the money they make off of potheads...

Shawnee123 · 02-15-2009, 05:41 PM

Heehee, I think I made the point earlier that they missed a great marketing connection with the munchies.

Now, about this new Cellar exchange...

My opinion is that sports stars get paid a lot of money and most of that comes only because they are loved by the public. You don't shit where the money's coming from. Yes you can have a normal life, but learn to be discreet and try not to get caught breaking the law, no matter how archaic that law might happen to be.

My kids know who he is and I suspect most kids in school know who he is. maybe yours are too young.

No problem.
pssstt... you could have just read her post again.

After years of rigorous training, the Olympics, then a whirlwind of TV shows, interviews and being told do this/do that, he finally had a chance to relax with old friends.
