In Defense of Michael Phelps' Bong Hits

I love the new Subway adds with Phelps and the song in the background about letting me be me again! Go Mike!

pot brownies dont hurt your lungs either ! cool

Phelps hits the bong like a girl anyways.

Couldn't he be a little more creative? The rant is the cheapest way out in comedy. Booooooooooring.

Supersize Me is the outcome they want. Liver and all other organs to shut down is much better and so is a bowl of empty calories that promise to lower something or other but DON"T! Leave him alone. He is a champ.

That's what I'm sayin.

AND CLINTON DIDN'T INHALE!

funny shit man, kelloggs haha

"He can swim fast...who gives a fuck". Classic. Funny stuff man!

thank you

weed!! whatever.. like who cares weed is harmless and at some point you give it a try....

haha agreed!

very nice video and viewpoint! I like it

so true! i feel so sorry for michael phelps. Maybe he just wanted to be somewhat "normal" for a change, take a break and chill... after being in the spotlight for iono.... since last LAST Olympics?

I totally agree with him, only if your making "special" brownies, beware because it stinks out the house.

Heck if you don't have commitments I don't know why you're not smoking weed!

It could be worse...he could be hitting Rhianna

Ben you don't have a clue, what's next for this guy cocaine, or heroin. THis guy has a history already of using drugs out of control (yes alcohol is a drug). Maybe just maybe some people are worried about his life. Me I'm worried about you Ben you might be more fu----ked up than Mike the way you were ranting and raving about looking up to someone who hits a bong??? Do a little research about addition and ask those who are in recovery "what was the first drug used"? After alcohol i'm sure you'll hear pot!!! cya uncle Joe

fuck kellogs!

Nice piece Ben, but you don't have a f---king clue. This is not about frosted flakes, or any other source of income for this swimmer who is showing symptoms that give credence to his continued and future use of a drug, may that drug be alcohol or pot, or whatever he moves up to next!!! Maybe current should do a survey and ask people in recovery from addition "what was the first drug they ever took"? cya uncle Joe

I think when I do the tour this summer I'll make up some Kellogs labels to wrap my hash brownies in. Put some truth in the slogan magically delicious!

this is hillarious... is there anyway i can put this on my myspace page... anyone know?

this is hillarious... is there anyway i can put this on my myspace.... anyone know?

oh my god this guy is awesome!

THANK YOU!! You took the words right out of my ****king mouth. Bravo!

A few of my friends go to USC and I knew some of the people who were at that party. Granted, they were all pretty much douchebags, but Phelps didn't deserve all that heat for taking a bong hit, and I feel bad for one of the eight who did get arrested for possession. He's a good kid.

I agree, who gives a fuck, really.

of course i actually agree with this guy.....
i mean come on he's human and we all make mistakes....it doesnt entierly excuse what he did but i mean c'mon its so dawm true.......

so true

Hitting a bong means nothing at all!

He could have been something ALOT worse...

and plus, after all his training..the guy deserves to relax once and awhile!

Agree 100% awesome vid

Lmao. Mcdonald's should be praisng Phelps, you know how much money they make from kids with the munchies?! This dude said everything i had to say_ Amazing!!

i love it

That was hilarious, thank you.

That's really great stuff! Now if America will wake the f##k-up,and start boycotting Kellogg's and Mac Burger.And any others that don't have the sense they were born with! This does show the mentality that the Just Say No campaign embodies. Maybe we shoud say Just Say Know!or No Thank You.

a-fucking-men

he didn't inhale!

Hahahaha! That's great!!!
Well said!

Awesome.

I LOVE BROWNIES !!!....(hint, do NOT use low-fat oil, REAL butter or lard & high heat allows release of more THC into usable form)...& You will DEFINETLY get Chinese-Eyed !

sooooo correct when you say that you "can relate to a guy that smokes out of a bong"

Dylan was right in the '60s - the times HAVE CHANGED - people need to get used to it.

the people we put on the pedestal and in the 'lime light' are just people. they do stupid shit like the rest of us. just chill out and let it be

haha, good stuff.

Awesome video! By far the funniest sh%t I seen today! You just made my day! Thanks current!

MIchael Phelps rocks! POt is Good, I would burn a big fat one with him any day! Get over it people, move on!

The kid won 50 gold medals and he can't chillax with a little weed? What does this guy have to do to earn some r n' r? He already accomplished EVERYTHING.

Yeah, weed makes you so lazy and unmotivated!

Haha, very funny.

Ok, love the video. Although in no way do I accept drugs, they have got to give him a break. People are supposed to make big, even huge mistakes in their life. It's what makes us human. The media just has nothing and so they feel they need to cover the same stuff over and over and over again. Just don't do it again Phelps.

"what is he some kind of role model? He can swim fast. Who gives a fuck?"

this video is greatness! your feet should be clean for weeks now

SUPPORT PHELPS

Did you guys hear? There is a new strain of marijuana called MP, it will make you feel like you won eight gold medals and everyone around you talk in Chinese.

xD

SUPPORT MICHAEL NOW!

Whatever happens in a party stays in the party, I hate people taken pictures in party and then later on puting them on the net or trying to black mail the person. This is a message for all of you snitches out there, get a fucking life you assholes.
I didnt know that we are living in a country of snitches...you better start applying for a job with the homeland security department nazi bastards.

I TOTALLY AGREE WITH THIS VIDEO
I WISH I HAD SUM EDITING VIDEO PERSON THAT COULD HELP ME START SOMETHING LIKE THIS!

MIKE WAS SMOKING OUT OF A BONG AND THERE MAKING A BIG DEAL ABOUT IT BUT WHEN A FOOTBALL COACH ALLOWS A SICK FOOTBALL PLAYTER 2 STAY IN THE HOT ASS SUN AND WORKOUT FOR AN AMOUNT OF HOURS THAT A YOUNG PERSON SHOULD, IT DOESN'T GET ANY PUBLICITY

IF A NORMAL PERSON WHOS NAME WAS TI WAS CAUGHT WITH ALL THOSE GUNS YOU REALLY THINK HE'D GET A SHOW THATS CALLD ROAD 2 REDEMPTION???

I REALLY THINK SUMONE IN OUR REAL WORLD WOULD EVER BE ABLE 2 DO THE THINGS THAT PARIS HILTON HAS DONE? HAHAHAH A YEA RIGHT

I'D PAY MONEY FOR SUM1 2 VIDEO TAPE MY LIFE AND SEE HOW MUCH REAL PEOPLE WOULD RATHER WATCH IT CAUSE I FINALLY REALIZE THAT WHATS ON TV IS SO SELECTIVE N THEY FEED US WHATS GOOD AND WHATS BAD AND WE DON'T THINK 4 OURSELVES........... TELEVISION TELLS US WHATS RIGHT AND WRONG!

I love how he breathes really heavily into the microphone while walking 12 feet!

Brilliant and true - thanks for bringing some reality to the situation - best Infomania piece in a long time - more more more...

Ben is awesome. And totally right.

vry true.

no one cares.

Those that reacted negatively to Michael Phelps picture of him hitting a bong, GROW THE F*** UP. America has become so conservative it's sickening !

This is awsome

"he can swim fast, who gives a fuck"

hahah i fucking love this guy

Oh hell, let's investigate all the self-righteous aholes who are persecuting this athlete. I bet over 90% used drugs stronger then a little grass. Point the finger and you have three pointing back at you.

Somebody should kick the fucking shit out of the narc who took the photo. What a dochebag. Does anyone know who it is? Lets smear that fucker instead.

lol

SUPPORT PHELPS!

fantastic.

Send the Olympic committee hate mail!

testify

I love his comment that this makes him more relatable, it's so true! The media loves to blow things out of proportion: there's no way Phelps can lose all that sponsorship. One bad picture versus 8 gold medals? Which would win on awesomeness factor....

word

You guys should get Ben pissed more often. That was for sure the funniest thing i've seen him do.

hahaha awww i love that, and it's so true. :) lol o manthat was good.

lol... that was great

true

It's ridiculous that the laws are so oppressive people must be closet weed smokers. F*ck that. Weed doesn't make a person bad, although I'm sure lots of bad people smoke weed, ironically because it is relegated to the "criminal" side of the world logistically.

Well spoken Ben.

Does being an intern there (in order to get a job later on obviously) require a full semester commitment? Because I noticed the openings are still listed on the website despite the fact that this semester has technically already begun.

This video sums up the Phelps' situation perfectly, though now they have suspended him"...because he disappointed so many people, particularly the hundreds of thousands of USA Swimming member kids who look up to him as a role model and a hero."

The guy can't get a break; this bong hit is for Mike.

Very cool vid! All this hoopla after he did this is a private home is crazy. I'm sure if he knew some dweeb was taking a pic of him, he would've gone somewhere even more private.

He wasn't out in public doing it or bonging out in front of kids.
