PORTLAND, Ore. - Cereal and snack maker Kellogg Co. said it won't renew its sponsorhip contract with Olympic swimmer Michael Phelps because of a photo that showed him inhaling from a marijuana pipe. The Battle Creek, Mich.-based company said Thursday that Phelps's behavior - caught on camera and published Sunday in a British tabloid - is "not consistent with the image of Kellogg."

4. I was going to say the same thing.

2. Zzzzz. Who cares? Let him get a real job. Oh, yeah, there aren't any. nt

5. utterly predictable & disheartening

the drug war won't ease up until everyone quits at once. kellogg is a bunch of lawyered-up pansies.

WTF is their "image", anyway?

[GodlessBiker]

6. Yes. Kellogg's image is making cereals containing 50% sugar. That's much better for kids.

8. Kellogg flakes!

Says soggy swimmer is all wet.

9. The stuff in Mike's bong is a hell of a lot more natural than the chemical stew Kellog mixes in

its corn flakes. :puke: :grr:

10. Snaps!

And belated welcome to DU.

14. Thanks but it's really true, isn't it? I mean cannabis grows wild and natural all over

the world...and according to the bible everything like that is created for our use! (Not to mention -something- caused Paul/Saul the terrorist of Tarsus to hallucinate and fall off a donkey on the way to Damascus. Shrooms or ergot? Yup)

16. The recipe for Holy Oil in Exodus calls for cannabis

One of the big problems that the Priests had with Jesus was that he was running around anointing JUST ANYBODY with the stuff. They wanted it for themselves.

11. Kellogg gets a personal boycott

Say "no" to prohibitionists.

12. He'd

rather have a bowl of Weedies, so it really doesn't matter what Kelloggs thinks.

13. I dropped Kellogg long ago.

Junk food.

15. Kellog's is just another old republican conservative corporation...Fuck them!

Just check them out....I won't buy anything from Kellogg's!
