Bong maker latest sponsor to drop Phelps


Another company has decided to leave the Phelps business. Kakadu Bongs, Inc., a bong maker based in Nimbin, Australia, has decided to terminate its 8-year contract with Olympic swimmer Michael Phelps after signing the deal this past September.

This is the second sponsor to drop Phelps after a photo was recently published showing the Beijing 8-time gold medalist smoking marijuana. Kellogg, the world's largest cereal maker, was the first company to end a relationship with Phelps.

"We're just really disappointed with Michael," said Kevin Bernardo, president of Kakadu Bongs, Inc., shaking his head. "Just plain disappointed."
