Phelps puffing $5.00 worth of weed has caused Kellogg's marketing
department to suddenly acquire "negro dignity". Compare Phelp's
treatment to the kid-glove handling of Obama's tax evading nominees!

Exactly my sentiments. I cannot ever remember
buying anything with their brand.

If Kelloggs is paying Phelps then they have every right to expect him
to keep his nose clean. If he doesn't want to abide by their
requirements, then he doesn't have to accept their money or be their
spokesman. They are paying him for his image and if they require a
clean cut image, then he should decline being their "face". He has
tarnished their image. I would have been tougher on him than they
were.

Bingo - the are paying him millions for an image. Without that image,
