I’m not impressed with Michael Phelps!!

August 29, 2008


Everyone’s raving about Olympic swimmer Michael Phelps because he won a record 8 gold medals at the Beijing games. I already see him in commercials, talk shows, cereal boxes, having tea with my mom, it’s getting stupid. He does NOT deserve these accolades! How can you say such a thing?? Easy. That’s what you get when you make 8 events of the same thing!! OF COURSE HE’S GOING TO WIN THEM ALL!! Just like Jamaica’s Usain Bolt crushed the 100 and 200 meter sprints! Jesus, I’d be more impressed if Phelps won the 8 gold medals in swimming, then took a gold in badminton, then broke the world record in high-jump, ran the 4×100 relay race by himself, single-handedly defeated the US basketball team 101-57, beat the Kenyans in the marathon, lit all the closing ceremony fireworks, learned how to speak Mandarin, and called it a day. Then I’d put him on a pedestal. But he didn’t.
