Kellogg's to Michael Phelps: Smoking Pot Isn't Gr-r-r-eight!

February 5, 2009


Michael Phelps bong hit is a miss with Kellogg's.

Following the release of Star's exclusive photos of the record setting Olympian smoking pot, the cereal company is letting their endorsement deal with the swimmer expire at the end of the month.

"We originally built the relationship with Michael, as well as the other Olympic athletes, to support our association with the US Olympic team," a Kellogg spokeswoman tells Ad Age in a statement. "Michael's most recent behavior is not consistent with the image of Kellogg. His contract expires at the end of February and we have made a decision not to extend his contract."

Michael had earned a place of honor on the front of Kellogg's Frosted Flakes and Corn Flakes cereal boxes in September following his Olympic triumphs.

Do you think Kellogg's is making a smart decision? Don't agree with them? Talk back.
