Dear Michael Phelps,
Having heard that you’ve recently lost a sponsor, I just wanted to say not to worry. People have short memories. Win some more gold medals and all will be forgotten.
Your Olympic pal,
–WKW
I don’t know, Bill.
Micheal Phelps was caught USING TEH DRUGS!!!11!ELEVEN!
Kobe Bryant just raped some woman.
Let’s put it in perspective now. /snark.
From the Oct. 2, 2004 article in the New York Daily News:
In one disturbing passage, the college student tells detectives every time she pleaded with Bryant to stop groping her, he choked her around the neck – and she feared for her life.
“I was just kinda scared and I said ‘no’ a few times,” she said.
“Did he hear you?” a detective asked.
“Yes. He did.”
“How did [you] know he heard you?” the officer pressed.
“Because every time I said no he tightened his hold around me.
Yet there are many in LA & across this great land of ours who will insist that Kobe’s greatest transgression is that he sometimes doesn’t pass the ball enough when his shots aren’t falling …
I really appreciate your efforts to put the Phelps “controversy” into its proper perspective, Bill. It’s just a shame that you’re the only one with access to newspapers, magazine articles, & memories that date past last Christmas — just imagine what some of the major media outlets could do if they were privvy to the same type of information …
Yhea! It proves that marijuana use by itself does not make a person evil or incompetent. Iam sorry you have to pay a heavy price for this rather insignificant situation. I personaly was a aircraft mechanic for 32 years and smoked pot since y went to the Vietnam war. I never had an airplane go down and I held positions of leadership and national securety level. If all the art and inventions that people have created under the influence of mind altering substance were to be striken from the face of the earth. Ther will be a lot of empty museums and probably would still be back in the dark ages.
