Our Boycott of Kelloggs

After listening to the news and eavesdropping on conversations the past couple weeks, Justin and I have come to the conclusion to boycott Kelloggs for pulling funding from Michael Phelps.
True the many, many weeks of seeing his face on magazines, books, and plastered on the news did grow old. There is no doubt in my mind that as soon as America had the chance to see the golden boy doing something not-so-golden, we pounced like a pack of starved jackals.
Despite my "clean" lifestyle, I still feel the need to supoport our Star athlete in his quest for peace.
Ever wonder, "Wow. If I swam that fast and had to train all the time, I probably would crack under the pressure too." or "Well, can't see that I blame him. Poor fool is constantly water logged."
Nope! Just like the people we are, we pointed our dirty fingers at him and called him out on his indiscretion.
I for one think, "What the hell? He is simply blowing off some steam. Or he is bored." Good enough reasons. So from this day forward, it is General Mills for me.
Good thing Lucky Charms are NOT Kelloggs, lest my resolve be taken under by fun shaped marshmallows!
