Maybe he should bong it up then laugh about it before considering the offer.

[mrreindeer]

Wow..... yeah, that's a bit silly.

[mc2712]

No such thing as bad advertisement.

[joncaputo]

If you think about it - even if he DOESNT take the deal look at the press they already got as a result!

[hotreds]

Just Do It!

That picture is one of the worst PhotoChop hack jobs I've ever seen, and whoever did it should be publicly humiliated. Did you read the comments at the bottom? A veritable Festival of Ignorance. Sheesh!

I've decided, from now on, whenever anyone starts pontificating at me about how bad my tobacco habits are for me, I'm going to ask them to name me one single medical study that says so, who did it, and what year it was done. Just one. It's one of those things "everyone knows", because they "read it somewhere". If you're going to make a life decision about something, and then go around judging and condemning someone else, doesn't that seem like the very least you should be able to do? Out of 1000 random adults, how many do you think could actually do it? One, maybe, and 500-to-1 odds it will be a doctor. Anyone who presumes to tell me how to live my life, but can't even be bothered to spend 10 seconds with Google, well, that person is officially a total tool.

PRetty bad photoshop, but still pretty funny!

Phelps Offered $25k to Blaze it Up

Michael Phelps might have a way to get back some of that serious endorsement cash he's losing from that bong smoking scandal -- and all he's gotta do is switch up his smoking device.


Smokey McSpeedo's "extracurricular activities" have perked the interest of a Gurkha Cigars, who just offered Phelps a cool $25,000 to be their official "smokesperson."

In a letter to Phelps, Gurkha said, "We would like to provide you with the opportunity to do what you do best - smoke and swim. And while we can't help you with your swimming skills, we can definitely offer you the best of the best when it comes to the cigar world."

and then there are a bunch of moronic comments about cigar addiction etc..and then 1 or 2 very good comments from BOTL about cigars
