Michael Phelps, the Olympic star and icon, has been caught smoking a bong by the News of the World tabloid newspaper. Turns out, it is true that Michael Phelps is indeed in the picture smoking pot from a large pipe called a bong. You think sports athletes are never into drugs and alcohol, always being fit, eating right and staying healthy? Not always. The sports stars like to party hard too. Phelps himself released a statement admitting that he enjoys weed.

This is why there are no more role models for the kids. Because there is no more privacy because of the paporazzi. Seriously, leave the guy alone. He’s just some dumb hippie wannabe that happens to be the best swimmer ever. AND, how can this be a surprise to anyone? Did you see him on SNL? He’s a moron! Before the olympics he probably would have drank a cup of piss if you dared him to with $50. Anyway, leave him alone American media. He didn’t smoke it in the middle of the street! Whatever, I’m high on shrooms right now.

That’s the thing that’s disgracing America’s society, the papparazi. The papparazi are a bunch of obsessed people who do nothing but stalk celebrities. I wouldn’t want that job. Anybody that gets a job as a pap to take photos for gossip sites is probably a jealous loser after their fame. That’s why paps won’t leave celebs alone because they are obsessed with fame. There’s nothing special about famous people, they are just regular and normal human beings like all of us making a living of something they like doing whether movies, music, TV, etc. Celebs are humans and deserve to be treated like one.
EDIT TO ADD: I think one thing that should be changed that President Obama should make a law where it should be illegal that photos get taken without someone’s consent. I know I hate getting my picture taken without my permission. It is nice if people ask first.

I don’t know the law that well, but I do know that when normal people stalk, they get in trouble. When the papporazi stalk, they get away with it. It’s wrong. You’d think it would be outlawed after Princess Diana. Until that kind of thing happens right here in America, I don’t think there will be laws to protect victims of the paps. Someone’s gonna die first, unfortunately.
Wow Kev, I didn’t know so many people took your picture! I bet it gets old.

next thing you know, Phelps will be trading in his medals to score something even more hardcore than weed — like a pack of Marlboros!
