OK, Michael Phelps is getting a little overexposed in the ad world, dontcha think? |
|
The Rosetta Stone ad, I could see that. He studied Chinese for the Beijing Games. But the rest of these things are just getting ridiculous. And the Guitar Hero World Tour thing? That's just wrong.
Time for Phelps to take his medals and go home. Or go to a network and be a sports commentator. But as a pitchman, he's not quite up to Peyton Manning standards ...

26. Misty May was over exposed when the Chimp smacked her ass on live TV |
|
Ordinarily I wouldn't have had a problem with her ass, but that kinda ruined the whole thing. :puke:

18. I am with you on that one. Anyone with the middle name Hussein is |

anti-American. His name might as well be Osama instead of Obama.

19. Know the sad thing? I knew a kid in school whose name was Osama. |
|
He was (and I'm sure still is) a great person, but probably endures a bunch of shit simply because he has that name and he is Egyptian. :(

23. Have you ever seen a Super Bowl ring? |
|
They're pretty damn big and gaudy. You could probably make one ring out of ONE medal.
But Phelps' medals don't have any diamonds in them, do they??? So there.

17. Dude's gotta cash in while he can. |
|
It's not like pro basketball or football players, who have year-round seasons and can sign multi-year contracts worth millions. When you're an Olympic champ, you gotta get as many deals as you can while you can, because in a couple years, people have moved on.

Phelps made the Olympics exciting this year and if these companies are willing to pay, then why not make some money?
