Michael Phelps -- Cereal Killer

Michael PhelpsFive out of five dentists say Michael Phelps is all wet -- when it comes to his choice of breakfast cereal.

Health experts are going nuts because Mikey likes Frosted Flakes, and is going to be on the FF box rather than a Wheaties box, like pretty much every other big-shot athlete. They're all up in arms because Flakes has three times as much sugar as Wheaties and only a fraction of the fiber. Not so grrrrrreat after all?!

We've put in a call to the Wheaties peeps, but haven't heard back yet.

19. Who cares, really? Having his picture on Frosted Flakes will probably sell MORE than on Wheaties. Kids that like him will actaully EAT Frosted Flakes. Kids are happy, parents happy they didn't just waste $6 on a box of cereal. And if Phelps actually eats it too! People need to just get over themelves. If the dentists are so concerned attack all these candy adds...ex: baby bottle pops etc., not a current hero to the masses. The FF buying masses. :)

22. Maybe he wanted his picture on a product he actually eats and that may not be Wheaties!

24. So after all those medals, he is just another greddy human who
doesn't care about the impact that his choices has on other people.
He's a sellout, he had a chance to make a difference, but he'd rather
make the $$$.

He's embraced the spotlight, but apparently he doesn't realize that
there is a responsability associated with it. I think I would have
rather have him as the Trojan Man, than selling sugar bombs to kids.

25. Michael Phelps has nothing going for him except his swimming medals. He could have chosen a more noble path after the Olympics, but he's chosen to be a cheap whore. Who buys Frosted Flakes anyway? Phelps = Flake = Degenerate

27. I'm with those coomments about his high caloric intake, rigorous training and the fact that he is endorsing something he actually enjoys eating. Congratulations Michael Phelps, you are #1!!!!!

29. Michael Phelps choosing to be on the Frosted Flakes box is what everyone is commenting on today. What about the years of hard work, or the tireless competion schedule he just endured, or the GREAT sportsmenship he showed, or the family values he shared! THINK ABOUT IT! We are commenting on the WRONG things here! We as a nation are very fortunate to have a man like Michael Phelps be one of OUR athletes at the 2008 games. So, to end this rant think about this... Who wouldn't out of all of us with all these comments, JUMP AT THE CHANCE TO BE ON THE COVER OF ANY CEREAL BOX? GREAT job THANXS Micheal!

30. This young man made sacrifices that none of us can imagine. These athletes train so hard since they were so little and they give up a normal childhood to be the best. Other kids were playing and watching TV while this guy was swimming laps.

Good from him and all of the other athletes who have earned the right to make the big bucks on Madison Avenue. Comments of “sell out” are just ridiculous and unfounded. What do you want him to do after beating a record that was in place since 1972? What if he came in forth? All the sacrifices he made in his life and he didn’t win? He and every other champion has the right the to get paid for being the best, being a winner and showing everyone that you can achieve your goals with hard work, training, and sacrifices.

Congratulations Michael, America is proud of you!
