Kellogg’s awash in criticism
I don’t know about you, but I could not get all worked up into a lather at the sight of young Michael Phelps holding a pot pipe and doing what countless thousands of young (and old) folks do all the time.
I am happy to see that folks are angered at Kellogg’s for deciding to cut ties with Phelps over the incident.
“Kellogg’s had no problem signing up Phelps when he had a conviction for drunk driving, an illegal act that could actually have killed someone,” said Rob Kampia, the director of the Marijuana Policy Project.
Kampia’s group along with the National Organization for the Reform of Marijuana Laws, Students for Sensible Drug Policy and the Drug Policy Alliance are urging a boycott of Kellogg’s.
“It’s not just that Michael Phelps did what millions of other 20-somethings do,” said Ethan Nadelmann, executive director of the Drug Policy Alliance.
“It’s that he did what over 100 million Americans have done at least once in their lives, including the president, former presidents, members of the U.S. Congress and Supreme Court.”
