As you may have heard, world-famous Olympian Michael Phelps was recently busted using marijuana for what could only be described as a non-medical purpose (he was partying at the University of South Carolina).
Reading from the standard celebrity script, Phelps acknowledged “regrettable behavior” and said that he “demonstrated bad judgment”, as if he tripped and fell onto a bong or something. He has, however, previously denied using any performance-enhancing drugs (though anyone with a stoner friend knows that “performance-enhancing” probably doesn’t apply in this situation).
Of course, we’re peta2, not the DEA, so what we’re more concerned about is what kind of “munchies” this superstar athlete is chowing down on after his “regrettable” behavior. That’s why we thought it’d be a good idea to place this tongue-in-cheek billboard around the USC campus, you know, as a public service announcement to all of the little Phelpses (Phelpsi?) out there…

Too long to explain here, it's long enough for a novel.
Father loves to farm, be self sustainable, loves to read, he's a antiques/vintage auctioneer, art student, and looks like mr. Rogers. My mother is a Montessori teacher and is amazing with children, all about local organic foods, loves gardening, cooking etc. my sister who is nine years older than me was into indie music and introduced me to all sorts of things at a young age. This all rubbed of on me and from that base I grew into similar things. I'm an INFJ
I love animals about as much as rock, heavy metal, tea, and coffee. Hoping to make a difference and help animals through PETA!!!
I'm tall, a geek, nacho - obsessed, I love sewing and Cath Kidston, also I'm vegetarian (wannabe vegan.)
Jersey girl now I'm all country.
Well let's just say life ain't always beautiful but it's a beautiful ride. I love all my pets and would do anything for them. I have one dog, two cats, a ferret and my babygirl shaymin,(the cutest hedgehog alive) I'm into all different kinds of music. I'm a singer myself and love art.
I want to get into marketing but not have to rely on people which have different morals and worldviews than I do to hire me. While I'm figuring this out, I want to show everyone what I believe in and spur them into action against injustices.

Come on! Everyone makes mistakes and who can blame him for going a little overboard when he spent like 10 years of his life preparing for two seprate olympics that he won 8 medals at, each, 14 gold and 2 bronze total. The man knew nothing but structure, he got a little crazy and now he said sorry. Don’t turn something as irrelevant as smoking pot into a vegetarian ad campaign. Don’t get me wrong I have been a vegetarian for 5 years and would LOVE if Phelps chose to do the same. And I do not in any way endorse the use of marijuana, but really guys. Leave the man alone. It’s hard enough to live under the spotlight and he’s being criticized by everyone else possible, the last thing he needs is a PETA ad campaign against him.
