Pb Derigable Posted February 1, 2009 Share Posted February 1, 2009 This is why superstars don't pay girls to fuck em, they pay them to leave and keep their fucking mouths shut. This won't hurt him, but you have to be careful out there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Black Dawg Posted February 2, 2009 Share Posted February 2, 2009 What a Dufus! He is gonna lose millions in endorsement $. I didn't think Chlorine made his eyes that red. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jabe Posted February 2, 2009 Share Posted February 2, 2009 What a Dufus! He is gonna lose millions in endorsement $. I didn't think Chlorine made his eyes that red. You're absolutely correct.He's sunk pretty much on endorsements. His only hope left will be plugging Doritos,Goo Goo Clusters,Mtn Dew,and Visine.

SuperDave Posted February 2, 2009 Share Posted February 2, 2009 I saw on one of the online news sites that his endorsers are backing him up and will stick with him. Well at least for now, but things can change. Well it didn't hurt Bill Clinton. But he didn't inhale, so that's why. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Black Dawg Posted February 2, 2009 Share Posted February 2, 2009 I saw on one of the online news sites that his endorsers are backing him up and will stick with him. Well at least for now, but things can change. Well it didn't hurt Bill Clinton. But he didn't inhale, so that's why. The articles I read did not indicate that endorsers would continue to back him. According to The Sun his marketing goup Octagon tried to supress the pictures. I quess they did this because it was not going to effect his endorsements. Phelps is represented by marketing giant Octagon, which works with huge brands such as Mastercard and HSBC. They admitted proven cannabis use would be “a major taint” on Phelps’ character. Spokesman Clifford Bloxham offered us an extraordinary deal not to publish our story, saying Phelps would become our columnist for three years, host events and get his sponsors to advertise with us. In return, he asked that we kill Phelps’ bong picture. Bloxham said: “It’s seeing if something potentially very negative for Michael could turn into something very positive for the News of the World.

Pb Derigable Posted February 3, 2009 Share Posted February 3, 2009 Told you. This will not hurt him. If he was black, yes. Mike Vick was caught with weed and some endorsers bailed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ninelives Posted February 3, 2009 Share Posted February 3, 2009 I think the sponsors are going to not pull the plug with him but it's been stated he do some sort of PSA warning people of the dangers of smoking pot as part of the deal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ronniedawg Posted February 3, 2009 Share Posted February 3, 2009 Canada: We had an Olympic snowboarded who used to burn....funny thing is; most young Canadians agreed that smoking a big fatty, while listening to Metallica actually made you board better. The Canadian public only made jokes about it, wasn't taken that seriously. Only diiference between our Olympic snowboarders and our figure skaters....our Olympic figure skaters have Sublime cranked on their Ipods. Its a chronic problem.......

wanna be drummer Posted February 4, 2009 Share Posted February 4, 2009 Apparently they want to fucking arrest him now too http://www.mcclatchydc.com/256/story/61348.html Using these kinds of detective skills, all the police would have to do is look onto the facebook or myspace pictures of teenagers and they'd get an endless supply of MIPs while they're at it too .

LedZepChick Posted February 5, 2009 Share Posted February 5, 2009 ^ Haha!! It's prolly a little of both... Tanya Harding...That chick has had a crazy life. At least now she's getting paid to punch on someone for sport, as opposed to assaulting her former husbands and boyfriends with hubcaps and God knows what else. Sorry, back to Michael Phelps...
