Not at all. While we don't buy Kellogg's products anyway, they are well
within their rights to legally cancel any contract for any reason.
Phelps was stupid for doing it of course (besides allowing someone to
photograph him...not much of a friend there) and is willing to take his
rather mild 'punishment'. He's worth enough already that it won't matter
one bit.
