Kellogg achieves the impossible: getting lazy stoners motivated

In dropping Michael Phelps as a spokesman, Kellogg has incurred the wrath of an unlikely bunch: stoners. The Marijuana Policy Project issued a statement on Monday accusing the cereal maker of hypocrisy. MPP executive director Rob Kampia said in a statement: "Kellogg's had no problem signing Phelps when he had a conviction for drunk driving, an illegal act that could have killed someone. To drop him for choosing to relax with a substance that's safer than beer is an outrage."
  The group, which allegedly has 26,000 members, warned that its supporters will no longer purchase any Kellogg products. "Our members are angrier than I've ever seen them," says Kampia. Presumably that's because they can no longer satisfy their munchies fix with Rice Krispies Treats, Cheez-Its, Pop Tarts, Eggo waffles or those cookies with the trippy little elves.
