I'd wager Kellogg's will simply place that particular protest message in the circular file.
It's been quite plainly stated by Kellogg's that his is an image they don't want associated with their product.
http://www.cnn.com/2009/US/02/05/kellogg.phelps/index.htmlThere it is, in black and white. Deal with it. They don't want potheads representing them. Maybe you could sue them?
I wouldn't want him representing me if I were a business owner, either.
Also, is there a particular reason why are you taking a decidedly pointed jab at me?
Do you have a vested interest that perhaps we should know about?
Let's go for the full disclosure angle, shall we?
I lost my older brother to a drunken driver.
As a result, I'm not particularly keen on
any substance abusers - I harbor no favorites when it comes to methodology, and have a somewhat vested interest in the matter, you could say.
I've also held a TS/SCI security clearance for over 20 years. That means you get to pee in a cup when they tell you, very often at times.
IOW, you're barking up the wrong tree.
The little pothead had a DUI prior, and didn't learn his lesson then.
I doubt he will, even now.
He reaps what he sows, and him coming out and saying, "I can learn from it and try to make my life better than it has been in the past," is so much lip service and damage control. Crocodile tears, as it were...
So now he can shave his body and fondle his gold medals for as long as he wants to, and think about what could've been.
Either way, there's no skin off my nose, he's just a swimmer. A good swimmer, as far as humans go, but so was Mark Spitz. I've met Mark Spitz, and the poor bastard is still trying to re-live his Olympic days from 1972.
Trying. It was sad, we hosted him as a keynote speaker at a military dining-out. That was an absolute mistake. The audience was actually depressed after hearing him. Tommy LaSorda was considerably better.
