Much Ado About Nothing

It seems that Olympic hero Michael Phelps smoked some pot out of a bong. And then had the bad judgment to allow a photograph of this event to be taken. Next to the Fall Of Tom Daschle, this is the biggest thing on the Internets.

Uh-huh. Here’s the hurdle you’re going to need to overcome: “So what?”

Seriously, why should I care that Michael Phelps took a hit off of a bong? Because I don’t. Really, this hasn’t affected my life in any way at all. If I’d have never known it happened, my life would be for all functional purposes exactly the same as it is now. Other than I get to give this bit of advice to an Olympic athlete:

Don’t drink the water afterwards, dude. That’s some foul stuff down there. Just pour it out.
