But print a photo of him ripping a bong, and O MY GOD!!!!! HE GOT HIGH!!!!!! Drinking and driving kills people. Weed makes you eat cheerios. So basically, Kelloggs is saying, "Kids, its ok to drink and drive and maybe kill someone. BUT DONT YOU DARE SMOKE WEED..!

Maybe that’s why someone felt compelled to sell the photo: When a multimillionaire burns through half your stash in one bong-load, maybe you feel a bit taken advantage of." Who wouldn't do the same thing?! My favourite bit in the article: "Phelps probably sucked the whole bowl down in one hit and held it in for a full minute.

I think "we are celeb-obsessed" could be a reason in and of itself. And can we add "we love our hypocrisy" to the list? Although you covered hypocrisy pretty well in your reasons here. Sigh. Classic U.S of A. Great idea for an article and excellently executed! I think "we are celeb-obsessed" could be a reason in and of itself. And can we add "we love our hypocrisy" to the list?
