American swimmer, Michael Phelps can fit 22 Olympic medals around his neck, and has qualified for a record-setting 5th Olympiad in Rio, Brazil.
In 2009, however, Phelps made headlines for an entirely different reason: marijuana bongs.
Smoking pot isn’t much of a social shocker these days, but for an Olympian endorsing products, it cost him Kellogg’s as a sponsor.
Michael Phelps is heading back to the Olympics next month, and everyone hopes to see him expand his already unbeatable record of Olympic victories.
Meanwhile, a domain blast from the past is currently available: MichaelPhelpsBongs.com.
“Michael Phelps Bong” search results on Google.
Registered in February 2009 right after the bong incident, the domain was held by its registrant for a while, and was not renewed.
It’s currently available to register, not that we’d recommend that you do it. 😀
Why so?
The words “Michael Phelps” form a registered trademark for “advertising, promotion and publicity services, namely, promoting the goods, services, brand identity and commercial information and news of third parties through print, audio, video, digital and on-line medium.”
Best of luck to Michael Phelps at the Olympic Games in Rio, Brazil!
