OF course if there were pictures of Phelps chugging a Budweiser he would be applauded for being "the all American boy". and alcohol related deaths reach nearly 400,000 a year in the USA. but smoking a bud in a party setting is scandalous and abhorrent ? What a hypocritical and trivial society America is. I bet nearly everyone who isn't Mormon or Kathy Lee Gifford has at some point taken a hit of weed at a party. Big Deal - no addiction and no death. Believe me there are important issues in this country and Phelps smoking a bong is not one of them.I for one will boycott Kellogg. General Mills has plenty of cereals that I like. Watch the name brand when buying your cereals.

Kellogg's was not going to renew the contract with Phelps under any circumstances, they just used the bong incident to justify a business decision that had already been made. As the story said, they had already dropped the Olympic team. It is just a bit of grand standing on the part of Kelloggs. I called their customer service number, 1-800-962-1413, which confirmed that the contract was ending and likely would not be renewed. I said that they should apologize to the public for their hypocritical, deceptive stance. My family will start purchasing their products when they come clean with their true motivation.

Good for Kellogs, they need to send a message to all the pot heads out there.
SaintSinnerboy 06:48:33 AM Feb 07 2009
I wonder if Kellogs holds EVERY employee to such high standards? If they fired every employee that smoked pot when they were young would there be anyone left to make the cereal? If they fired all the coke heads in Marketing would there be anyone left to sell their cereal? if they fired all the alcoholics on the BofD would there be anyone left to sit in judgement of Phelps?I say boycott Kellogs, stop buying their products, and got to your kitchen now and take all their products out and take them to a homeless shelter.....restock with Post or the store brand! Wonder how many people in the firing decision of Phelps are cheating on their spouses? I guess thats a whole different image, and they don't mind that one!So, the boycott begins.....I hope Tony the Tiger gets so hungry he has to eat Snap, Crackle, and Pop! Oh yeah Kellogs.....you should fire the Keebler elves.....they seem kinda gay....i mean a bunch of little men all living in a tree together with no women?????

So if they can drop Michael then I can drop them...fair enough.
BKillette 02:15:44 AM Feb 07 2009
Okay so if Kellogg can drop Phelps then I can drop Kellogg, including all their products.
