CNN.com Editors Having Some Fun

Hooray! Michael Phelps will not face charges for his bong photo. Although, yes, Phelps broke the law, this is actually fair and just; if you walk into any police station in America with a photo of a guy taking a bong hit and try to get them to charge him with marijuana possession, you will be laughed out of the building. Right?

Anyway, CNN.com has since changed its lead story (at the time of this writing) to something about a fireball (I didn’t bother to look), but I really enjoyed the photo the website chose for the Phelps story:

“Should we run the bong photo again? Or maybe a photo of him winning his eighth gold medal?”
“Naw, let’s find one where he looks totally high!”

Well played, CNN.com editors. Well played.

Thanks, Joe
