I'm really mad about the whole Michael Phelps thing.
Not that he smoked a bowl. Not that his lung capacity likely left nothing but dust and ash for the rest of the party. I think that the person who snapped a photo of him 'inhaling' and then uploading it to the internet is a real poopyhead.

Seriously. What kind of a pathetic @#%k gets invited to a party and then uploads pics of the noteworthy attendees engaged in party-behaviour?

YMMV.

1. He sent it to an entertainment magazine
probably for the $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$. He checked his conscience at the door.

11. I'm just outraged all to fucking hell for the sake of being outraged today.
So, you see: the balance has been struck and your outrage has been neutralized. :evilgrin:

4. The guy was a dick, whomever he is. I hope he has no one
to spend the money with. Who would want to party with such a dick after this anyway? Everytime I saw him I would remind him of what a dick he is. By the way, the guy is a dick.

9. Yep, that's douchiness of the highest order
I reckon you'd get your ass kicked for doing something like that with my friends.

17. And in some
outlying districts of Detroit, that kind of admirable justice still holds.

10. A fucking fink, that's who would do that.
No one should ever speak to them again after that shit. They are probably an informant to the cops too. I certainly wouldn't invite them to any party I ever had again...even a five year old's birthday party with nothing but cake and tea. For shame, for shame.

13. He glommed the entire bowl. Robert's Rules of Order strictly forbids such behaviour.

24. It's right next to "Pizza Etiquette"...
...where it is described that tensions rise as decreases the number of pieces. Everyone wants the last piece, but you must be at least half-way into the slice you are currently working upon in order to be qualified to grab for it. If you still have an entire slice waiting, you cannot have the final piece and we can punch you on the shoulder for as long as we want if you try for it.

Note that the speed of eating increases as the number of pieces, decreases. Everyone wants to be poised correctly to snag the final slice. Eyes slit. Laughter and comaraderie quell. Predatory instincts take effect. Relationships, nay, marriages, may be broken through incorrect Pizza Etiquette.

14. The same kind of people who watch E! and Inside Edition and live through celebrities
instead of finding any kind of meaning in their own empty, shitty little miserable worthless asshole lives.

16. I agree with you. It was a horribly shitty thing to do.
I mean, the kid is 23 FFS!!!!!! Why intentionally try to damage him in that way?

What a fuck.
