Reply #11: A morning radio personality (local) was going postal about Phelps this morning [View All]

[MorningGlow]

I don't usually listen to morning radio--radio personalities yammering nonstop so early give me a headache--but I had to run an errand and I was cruising through the buttons on the car radio. Anyway, this radio personality was incensed--just LIVID--that Phelps would do such a thing. It was like she was taking it personally. Her reaction was really over the top. And this was a rock station, not even some conservative talk radio station!

The other person asked her why it bothered her, and she kept saying how it was a betrayal, especially to the companies he did endorsements for, and shameful that he got millions for his endorsements (her implication was that he was living the lie of pretending to be a wholesome athlete--like athleticism and pot smoking can't coexist). Her rant was so disconcerting to me that I switched stations pretty quickly.

I also don't understand why anybody cares what other people do. "An it harm none, do as thou wilt." Life's a lot easier when you're not stressing over other people's life choices, you know? :shrug:
