Finally some NEW exciting stories to come out of the Olympics.

So Aquaman has done it all right? Michael Phelps, the super human, half man, half fish is the proud owner of 14 Olympic medals. All the big money experts are saying he could be worth over 1 billion dollars over the rest of his life. So what is the next step? Wheaties of course.

But wait? Am I reading this right. Tony the Tiger has seduced the Golden boy to be the face of his cereal, just like Darth Sidous seduced a young Anakin Skywalker to the dark side, I guess that would make Wheaties Obi Wan Kenobi. (Sorry about the Star Wars reference, I just watched Episode 3 the other night.)

Anytime anyone does something super human (for example Lance Armstrong, Mary Lou Retton, Kerri Strug, Michael Johnson) they end up on the box, that claims to be "The Breakfast of Champions", but Phelps has decided to follow his heart, and by doing so, he has sent the cereal world into a tizzy, check out these quotes :
 

"I would not consider Frosted Flakes the food of an Olympian,"
 

"I would rather see him promoting Fiber One. I would rather see him promoting oatmeal. I would even rather see him promoting Cheerios "
 

"For a guy like Michael Phelps who isn't worried about obesity because he's burning thousands of calories as an athlete...eating Corn Flakes and Frosted Flakes every so often is not an issue"
 

These were said by nutritionist Rebecca Solomon of Mount Sinai Medical Center.
 

Anyone who has tasted Wheaties, and endulged in Frosted Flakes knows that Phelps is making the right call. So, good for Mikey, don't think for a second that a lifetime supply of the Tiger didn't have something to do with this either, gotta respect a guy who knows what he wants.
 

As well, The US womens Softball Team lost to Japan 3 to 1 in the Gold medal game in Beijing. Womens softball won't be at the next summer Olympics because the US team is supposedly too dominant. Whoopsi-doodle, doesn't this sort of make the IOC look a little bit silly? Doesn't this reak of consipiricy?
 

I can just picture the secret meeting of the Womens World softball association, "Come on States, just let Japan win, then the IOC's excuse of you guys being too good will be useless, and maybe we can get back in by 2016!!" The States decide it's probably a good idea, and presto, giant upset.
 

Something doesn't seem right, but at least we got a reason to show more pics of the beautiful US Womens team.
