Pot Boy Phelps Saves Subway Deal

Filed under: Drugs > Zportz > Michael Phelps

mikeyphelpssub.jpg

A publicist for Subway has refuted claims that Michael Phelps has been dropped as a Subway spokeswhore.

"Like most Americans, and like Michael Phelps himself, we were disappointed in his behavior. Also like most Americans, we accept his apology. Moving forward, he remains in our plans," said the sandwich maker's mouth piece.

Lucky break, Mikey!

    Remaining in their plans is not the same thing as continuing their sponorship of him intact.



  18. 18

    I hope Michael has learned his lesson. No more drugs !!!
    Michael Phelps earns 5 million dollars a year from his endorsements with VISA, Kellogs, Speedo, Omega watches, PowerBar, PureSport, and others. Kellogs dropped Michael last week. :-(



  22. 22

    Well, Subway isn't going to turn down a guy who loves 12 inchers as much as Phelps.

  28. 28

    Once again THE SOURCES played a big joke on you… when will you learn that YOUR SOURCES only make you look like trash??? There's no way Subway will walk out of their deal, they know that after a good pot you need to go to Subway and get a large meatball sandwich to calm your hungriness… well how would you know if you just stick to the white powder right???



  29. 29

    subway = the collapse of the united states

  31. 31

    BRAVO SUBWAY! you can't blame the man for being human!!



  32. 32

    It wasn't like he was walking down a street smoking a joint,got to draw the line on invasion of privacy. I was also pissed he apoligized to appease the ignorant masses.



  33. 33

    As if the majority of Subway's target audience even gives a shit that Phelps smokes pot! LOL
    (If Subway had it going on they'd have an advertising campaign geared toward "the best place to go when you have the munchies".)

  34. ILL says – reply to this


    34

    Its pretty pathetic that when he got a DUI it wasnt as huge and devastating as a bong hit. the reason weed is illegal in this country? P R O F I T . look up anslinger and hearst dumb asses. when was the last time u heard of someone killing someone else on the road while being stoned? or dying of a weed overdose. it doesnt happen. not to mention the pharmaceutical companies put over $100,000/ a day into partnership for a drug free america. know why? because since weed is natural and from the EARTH- it cannot be patented. so drug companies can't benefit from its sale. we have WAY bigger problems for example, nicotine and alcohol to deal with then something as innocuous as pot. SMOKE ON BITCHES



  35. 35

    Subway said that even if they dropped him, it's likely they'd have to pay him the full contract anyway.



  36. 36

    I like MP even more now. Hell yeah I'd smoke with him. and I wouldn't sell him out.



  37. 37

    Re: M*I*A*R – LOL



  38. 38

    yyyaaaaayyy!!!



  39. 39

    He didn't admit that he smoked anything in the statement his lawyers and/or publicists drafted for him. Guess that means he "didn't inhale."



  40. 40

    Good for Subway.



  41. 41

    I'm a lawyer in my 60's and I have smoked weed several times a week since the late 60's, as do many of my friends and family. I was hoping to see it legalized in my lifetime, but I don't think its going to happen. Weed should be put in the same category as nicotine and alcohol. When was the last time anyone heard of someone dying because of weed? Nicotine and alcohol kills thousands of people daily. I've never seen anyone get violent after smoking weed, but I've represented hundreds who hurt other people after drinking. Legalize and tax the stuff - it will help the economy more than any other stimulus.



  42. 42

    Re: SWEETPIECE – Broke! I was watching a show and heard a "TINK" sound and the picture went bye bye!They say the lamp is good about 8000 hrs., the tv is just 2 years old! Usually they dim over time and the tv gives you a on screen warning, but not harry's, it just took a shit. Well gotta find a new one later!



  43. 43

    I am NEVER even subway's shitty sandwiches again!

  53. 53

    LOL, That's what I thought,
    they knew they would get backlash if they
    dropped him!

    I kind of wish he would have said it wasn't him in the picture.



  54. 54

    Good for them….also brilliant marketing since the only way you can eat those crappy sandwiches are you are fat or you are stoned

  55. magik says – reply to this


    55

    I think that Kellogg's and other companies that are considering dropping him should consider the stoners that pay their salaries, Michael did nothing wrong he got those metals and got high, what else do you do after such hard work? Let this be a lesson kids, you can achieve what ever you want and still toke Got Bless America!
    And subway, good for you- don't bite the pot resinated hands that feed you.



  56. 56

    Awww, we know the truth. Subway gets all the stoners, why would they care if Phelps smokes it. This will get more business for them.



  57. 57

    its because stoners get the munchies and that makes for good business. they must have noticed that most people were like "well then fuck SUBWAY" !

  61. 61

    …just get a new ad campaign. How about 'Smoke Reefer and then Eat At Subway'. It beats hammering down junk food when the munchies hit…



  62. 62

    I'm not sure I know anyone who hasn't smoked pot… but then.. I'm Canadian

  66. 66

    Who cares about a bong hit? Why is Mr. Phelps being held to a higher standard than our last several Presidents?

    Subway made the right choice. It's amazing that this is even news.

    His DUI years ago was worse than this.

    GIVE HIM A BREAK!!!

    He was doing it in his off time, and probably thought he was among friends. Some scumbag is profiting for taking his picture. It's pot - he made an apology. Now move on.

  78. 78

    It doesn't bother me that he was off smoking pot because thats his own business but he should have been smart enough to not let someone take a picture of him he should have known what was gonna happen



  79. 79

    HE MAKES ME PROUD TO BE AN AMERICAN!



  80. 80

    Who cares we are all human
    and he is young. Kellogs is so stupid for dropping him and they are going to regret it when every one forgets about the pictures

  84. 84

    i wasn't disappointed at allll, this incident shows that he's a real dude, and he smokes pot like EVERYBODY else in this country. goddddamn give him a break and get the fuck over it.



  85. 85

    OKAY
    but i'm still Boycotting Kelloggs
    & any other big company that thinks of reprimanding folks for a medicinal PLANT, on gods green earth



  86. 86

    Subway is smart, they know that in a few months no one is gonna care about this. Michael sells and they dont want to lose out on their money boy. Not to mention, just look at the people who eat at subway…its nto the same little kids who eat frosted flakes…so they really have nothing to lose…no parents bitching about the bad influence the company is supporting or whatever. I think its so lame theyre making such a big deal out of this…you know they all some weed too!



  87. 87

    next……..



  88. 88

    he should be forgiven~it was pot~not crack! & this is 2009, he dedicated his life to swimming, won all the gold medals he could, & if he wants to hit the bong now~he should!! What people SHOULD be mad about is the dipshit that took the pic that was sittin there hittin the bong with him!!



  89. 89

    seriously? is hitting a bong THAT big of a deal? its not like they caught him sniffing some sh*t up his nose or anything.



  90. 90

    ALERT:

    Re: LG sez Drug Test Palin NOW! – #68 I feel ya there, I was a computer tard less than two years ago, now I know just enough to be dangerous and a major source of irritation! Well the TV all better, harry had to grab his ankles and shell out the full amount to the parts whore instead of ordering on- line and waiting a few days while staring at this little POS Toshiba in the bedroom! Luxury always comes at a price doesn't it darling!

    Re: enen – She's a retard. Her name is OG and she's crazy. Just ignore her posts.



  97. 97

    Hey, when all else fails he could get an endorsement with High Times. I am sure that would give him a million dollars to be their new poster boy.



  98. 98

    Way to go Subway, who cares if Michael Phelps smokes weed? As the governor of California says marijuana is a plant and not a drug.



  99. 99

    You'd have to be high to like Subway–they blow.



  100. 100

    I STILL DON'T SEE WHY HE ADMITTED TO WRONG DOING! I'D HAVE SAID, "PROVE IT ASSHOLE!" AND CLAIMED THAT PHOTO WAS PHOTO SHOPPED! HE'S TOO FUCKING NAIVE. HE PROBABLY GREW UP IN A CORN FIELD.
