Is Michael Phelps A Douche?
Listen, I hate to be unpatriotic while the Most Deeply Important Cultural Event In History is currently going down over in Beijing, and I readily concede that Michael Phelps is probably the greatest Olympic athlete of all time, whose physical achievements aren’t even fathomable to an aging, out-of-shape blogger such as myself, but after carefully reviewing extensive photographic evidence of what he looks like when he’s wearing street clothes instead of Speedos, I have to at least ask the question: “Is
