I'd thought this must be the case when I'd had the misfortune to see the advertisement Michael Phelps had made for Rosetta Stone (the language hocker corporation).
I must be pretty picky, 'cause I know some found the spot funny (?) while I only had that phrase "chlorine rots brains" in my head and sort of felt sorry for the guy after seeing it.
The recent nonsense with the picture likely cements my impression that brain rot sets in after too much time in a swimming pool or, maybe, it could be just a new leg on the way to completing the "american dream".
If this latter possibility is the case than maybe the the full Phelps' confession unearthed by Dennis Perrin, of "Savage Mules: The Democrats and Endless War" fame, is the real dope so-to-speak:
""I engaged in behavior which was regrettable and demonstrated bad judgment. I’m 23 years old and despite the successes I’ve had in the pool, I acted in a youthful and inappropriate way, not in a manner people have come to expect from me. For this, I am sorry. I promise my fans and the public it will not happen again.
"I've come to see how immoral marijuana truly is. Next to flag burning, it is without doubt the biggest corrupter of American youth today. When you smoke marijuana, you're telling the world that you hate America. I'm a proud American. Therefore, I renounce this demonic drug, this gateway to crystal meth and selling your body for heroin on the bad side of town. I will never, never, ever smoke it again. I won't even look at pictures of marijuana. That's a gold medal guarantee.
