I Support Kellogg's

I, like most of America, watched with excitement each time Michael Phelps won another medal at the summer Olympics of 2008. I also appreciated that he was such a great role model to kids in working for and then achieving their goals. However...
I was so disappointed when he was caught in a photo smoking marijuana. But I think the thing that upsets me even more is how the media is trying to down-play what he did. I keep hearing how "he shouldn't be punished for doing something everyone else has done"! Well, I know for a fact that not everyone else has smoked pot and we certainly don't want our kids to think it is ok to make that kind of "mistake". I don't mean to sound like a "goody-two-shoes" but what he did was illegal and I for one am impressed that Kellogg's dropped him and I will start buying more Kellogg's cereal to show them my support for their decision. I also will think twice about supporting any company that uses him as a spokesman. He has completely dropped off my map of people to admire for what they have accomplished, because he couldn't keep up the standards he set for himself when supposedly no one was watching.
Again, thanks for letting me vent and I will now go have some Frosted Mini-Wheat's for lunch!

I agree! Partly because Kelloggs is what got me through my first trimester! It's too bad he did that.

I agree with you wholeheartedly! I have been hard-pressed to find people that agree with me!
