Michael makes good points. Somehow the thread has
melted down to quibbling, IMO.

1. People have values. Do you expect them to
pat you on the back when you ridicule those?

2. Kellog hired him (yes, hired) for a specific
purpose. Would it have been different is he
had been photographed fondling a woman's breast
while wearing a General Mills Tee? How?

3. How about if he was doing the deed wearing a
Kellog's tee?

4. Kellog's was founded on a health food image.
If you don't know that, do some research. This
image is part of their stock-in-trade. Did Phelps
help or harm them? IS hitting ithe bong an
example of healthy living? Could he pass for
Ron White? Would K. hire White?

5. Like it or not, almost everyone is judgemental.
Do I pick up that snake or not? Should I buy a
used car from this guy or not? Should I loan this
deadbeat cousin 4,000 dollars? What's the prob.
with this?

Alex, detecting emotional posting rather than
rational. And appreciating Michael's insights.
Well, sometimes... <G>
