Is Charles Barkley more untouchable than Michael Phelps?

Here at the standard we don't really do any research and usually have no deep thought regarding our posts. But this post is different, this post is serious. I used it, the s word, s-e-r-i-o-u-s. Kinda.

So Phelps, smoked a bong (who hasnt) and his picture was ciruclated through the media. Bad M. Phelps, you shattered so many dreams but then again, you smoked pot and still swim like the world champion. You must still be an exceptional person.

Sir Charles Barkeley, you are obviously drunk every single time you are on TV and you got pulled over and charged for a DUI. You then tried to excuse your actions becasue you were on your way to get the best blow jay ever just around the block.

Above are two seperate cases and this is where I am going to make a little commentary. Phelps, got dumped by Kellog and was told that he disappointed people. Barkeley probably got a movie deal and a small slap on the wrist, maybe paid some money to get his DUI dealt with and he most definitely still got that blow jay.

The point? A DUI can cause death, the death of innocents, the wreckages of properties, and the end of lives.

Smoking a bong, the consequences? A lack of short term memory, red eyes, and an unyielding desire to eat everything in sight no matter how strange it may sound (artichoke dip with cheetos, seriously good).

Phelps should be applauded for not getting a DUI and choosing the society safe alternative, marijuana.

Sir Charles, should not be allowed on TV and should be put in Jail for reckless endangerment thus setting an example to the US that drunk driving is a serious offense.
That's the s word again.
