Sure Michael Phelps may have gotten the boot from Kellogg, and be treading water with USA Swimming, but all the smoke-y companies are suddenly thinking “hm, dolphin man isn’t as square as we once thought.”
Michael has been offered $25,000 (which is miserly, chump change in the world of Phelps) to be Gurkha Cigars smokesperson.
The humanitarian cigar company says they’re just doing their best to help in the wake of Bong-gate. In a letter to the dolphin God they said:
“We would like to provide you with the opportunity to do what you do
best-smoke and swim. And while we can’t help you with your swimming
skills, we can definitely offer you the best of the best when it comes
to the cigar world.”
If nothing else, the $25,000 may also help pay off Michael’s party bills. According to Page Six at that same bong-tastic South Carolina party, Michael lost some cash on an ill-fated beer pong game bet.
“I saw Phelps pull out a roll, a bank-wrapped $2,000. He said, ‘I’ll match the $2,000,’ ” onlooker Michael Whitworth told the State newspaper. “Good ol’ Phelpsie lost it, too.”
He pulled out a bank-wrapped $2,000 to bet on a game of beer pong with a bunch of college students? Douche! That’s some straight-up Diddy behavior there. What’s next? Spraying all the college freshman girls with Cristal?

So Michael Phelps is a guy who drinks at parties smokes a little gambles on high stakes games of beer pong and is the all time greatest Olympic medal winner he sounds like a pretty cool guy to me. Michael Phelps is an American Hero. He stood tall and made America proud at the Beijing Olympics. This is how he is treated. Michael Phelps did a tremendous amount of work to achive what he did. Who can forget the pride we felt with the each gold medal Phelps won in China, how can we as Americans forget all of those things and hang a man for smoking a glass water pipe at a college party. It is time that we as a country stand up for the rights of the individual, it’s time we stand together with our neighbors and take collective control of our destinies. Write any congressman or a senator; imagine the weight of millions of emails calling for a change in policy. Lets stop them from arresting college kids at partys in America.
