The Seeds and Stems Of Public Support

Marijuana Lobby Rips Kellogg for Dropping Phelps
Rob Campia, "the leader of one of the biggest legalize-pot organizations, the Marijuana Policy Project, called Kellogg's action "hypocritical and disgusting," and said he'd never seen his membership so angry, with more than 2,300 of them signing an online petition.

"To drop him for choosing to relax with a substance that's safer than beer is an outrage, and it sends a dangerous message to young people."
"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,"

Phelps responded to this show of support by saying,

"Dude! Seriously? Stop helping me."

You Just Hold Out Your Hand

Was it just poor training that caused Darvis Patton to try to hand off the baton to Tyson Gay's foot?
Was it a jinx?
Is Darvis foaming at the mouth or is that a can of Redi-Whip, whipped topping in his hand from which he just shot a dollop into his face?
Or is he just happy to see Tyson?

Fake Sky Walker

The Beijing opening ceremony was "enhanced" by insertion of animated, pre-recorded fireworks footprints. What is even worse is that the young girl with the beautiful voice was not the girl we saw. They put some "cute" little girl out there instead because "The child on camera should be flawless in image, internal feeling and expression."
Now all the broadcasts emanating from the Olympics are being tested for image enhancing animation. Coverage of men's synchronized diving may be banned because "the announcers comments were enhanced with far more animated response than could possibly be generated by such an event."
NBC has been accused of misrepresenting Cris Collinsworth as an Olympic sport analyst as opposed to a football color commentator. However the network was cleared when it was determined that putting Collinsworth on the team does not enhance the presentation; it is more of a "doping" violation.
