Ditch the Pot (Roast), Michael Phelps! February 3, 2009
Posted by Ryan at February 3, 2009 1:16 PM | Permalink | Comments ( 13 ) | TrackBackAs 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...

Vick To Plead Guilty August 20, 2007
Posted by Pulin Modi at August 20, 2007 5:08 PM | Permalink | Comments ( 1 ) | TrackBackVick has finally admitted his guilt! Michael Vick has reportedly accepted a plea deal—and a likely prison sentence—to avoid additional federal charges related to a professional dogfighting operation, one of his attorneys had told The Virginia-Pilot newspaper.
We're still waiting on the details, but we're happy knowing that if a celebrity with Vick's amount of money and his team of lawyers can't get out of legal trouble (and hopefully can't get out of serving jail time) then anyone else who fights dogs had better head for the hills.
On a more somber note, when Vicks co-defendants entered their plea agreements on Friday some details came out about the dogs being hung. It is pretty chilling stuff, so I give kudos to the media outlets who covered it.
This article by the Fort Worth Star-Telegram, for instance, is very good in a tough to read kinda way. Here's a powerful excerpt:
They were hung from trees in the woods behind Michael Vick's house, eight dogs left there to die, kicking and screaming.The pit bulls had made the mistake of failing the test. They weren't mean enough, quick enough, strong enough in the ring, so they were of no more use to Vick's Bad Newz dogfighting operation.
Imagine, killing a dog because it's just too nice.
Five of the dogs finally kicked their last breaths away as the ropes cut deeper and deeper into their throats. Three somehow clung to life.
Vick and two of his henchmen, growing impatient, cut those three down and one by one shoved their heads into five-gallon buckets filled with water, drowning them to finish them off.
Try keeping your breakfast down after hearing that report on ESPN.
The inhumanity, the callousness, the abuse of these innocent, helpless animals is almost beyond comprehension.
There is something you can do though. PETA is again calling on the NFL to add cruelty to animals— in all its forms— to its "Personal Conduct Policy." This case has clearly shown that NFL fans are just as outraged by cruelty to animals as any of the other antisocial behaviors outlined in the policy. Click here to contact the NFL now!
