The only difference between Phelps and people who attend shorts parties is Phelps has eight gold medals.
August 20, 2008 at 10:41 amit adds to his douchiness that he doesn’t know who Anna Wintour is?
for serious?
August 20, 2008 at 11:02 amtrying to make me believe phelps is a douchebag day after day just makes me think you are.
the guy IS probably feeling pretty good about himself these days. good for him. he was probably a dork as a kid. he worked hard and deserves all the golds, money and fame he’s getting now.
August 20, 2008 at 11:23 am@ BRAH! - wait, so attending a shorts party means that your hated by every single person who’s ever spent more than 5 minutes with you? while it’s possible, that seems like the type of sweep only michael phelps can achieve …. even Slate was getting on the hater train yesterday, graciously calling him an 11-year-old trapped in a super human body (in an article i now can’t find, could they not handle the backlash of the truth!?)
also, i love Devastatin Dave
August 20, 2008 at 11:29 amCongratulations, I’m a douchebag. I have no idea who Anna Wintour is.
August 20, 2008 at 11:30 amall of this “Phelps is a douche” talk is pretty hilarious. the blogosphere is on fire with it. but after it’s said and said and said and done with, he’ll still be richer, more famous, more well-travelled, more laid, pretty much more everything than anyone who’s presently keyboarding their little opinions about him.
you want douche? pick any athlete in any sport in any part of the world. actually, pick most human beings.
sad
August 20, 2008 at 11:47 amsf - agreed
August 20, 2008 at 12:12 pm“he’ll still be richer, more famous, more well-travelled, more laid, pretty much more everything than anyone who’s presently keyboarding their little opinions about him.”
Not me dude. The Queen fingerbangs herself almost every night looking at a photo of me. No shit. One of those dudes in the tall furry hats told me.
August 20, 2008 at 12:24 pmi’m not saying that everyone who doesn’t know who anna wintour is is a douche.
i’m sure he knows who she is after sitting next to her. but he still looks ridiculous next to her, most people would. and mostly at this point i’m just jealous.
everyone, anna wintour is the most badass woman in the world (in my opinion). she’s editor-is-chief of vogue. that’s not why she’s a badass, but it contributes to it. and i need to stop before everyone realizes my odd fascination for the woman.
August 20, 2008 at 12:43 pmTiger Woods= Not a douche.
Phil Ivey = Not a douche.
Brady Anderson = Undouche.
Even Federer is only a douche on the court.
Being dominant in your sport does not make people hate you Fits. Being a douche does tho.
August 20, 2008 at 1:08 pmdouche. say it with me: “douche”. very nice.
feel good? fantasatic, then. you’ve said it quite enough and it’s trite by now, no?
now stfu

August 20, 2008 at 3:33 pm@pedro/pete/snarkles
my point is, “douche” or not, we’re sitting around talking about him and he’s flying around the world, living the life and not giving a fuck.
most competetive athletes would fall under the category of “douche”. that’s what makes them competetive, they do whatever they think it takes to acheive a goal whether it’s winning something, getting better contracts or pulling ass.
I hope the next pandemic alters humans’ lips and larynxes so the words “douche” and “hipster” are forever unpronouncable. and if u manage to pull it off anyway, you explode on the spot and wyour blood splatters forming the words “Don’t Do It”
disagreed. i’ve known quite a few olympians who were either friends or teammates and i think very few of them would qualify as a “douche.” the average olympian is someone who puts their life and career on hold to endlessly pursue a sport no one really cares about. ya they’re competitive, but the real world doesn’t cut america’s best waterpolo player a break if he acts like an asshole.
michael phelps, however, is some sort of exception cause he’s “the best.” Speedo paid him a ridiculous amount of money over the past four years so he could do nothing but train for beijing, yet people still feel the need to wipe his ass for him when he gets called out for not behaving like a normal adult.
anecdote #2: Phelps arrives in Ann Arbor to train and eventually (i think briefly) enrolls at Michigan to give him something to do between practices. The UofM version of the Onion runs a story titles “Phelps enrolls at Michigan, Majors in Pussy” and goes on to talk about how he’s selecting his course load based on what classes are guaranteed to get him the most tail. Most American men would frame such an article, hell, i’d have it reprinted and made into satin sheets so i could bang chicks on top of it. But nay, not Phelps. He gets the Athletic Director (mind you, he’s not a swimmer at Michigan because of his endorsements) to shut down the entire paper unless they agree not to be mean to poor lil Mikey. This is an appropriate use of the word douche if there ever was one.
Ya, I think it’s pretty low when people look at a picture of him and call him a douche. I also think it’s pathetic when people defend him when he doesn’t deserve an ounce of sympathy.
August 20, 2008 at 4:30 pmyeah what dan said. “l’ipster” is played out cuz its meaningless and nobody knows what its supposed to mean. But calling this kid a dbag is not an aesthetic judgment. He’s crass and rude and arrogant in public. How can we not have this reaction when the mainstream media holds him up as an role model and american hero yadda yadda. He’s making us look like triumphant dim-witted tools. Even more than usual I mean. Our disparagement, and even better, ridicule, might shame his fellow d—-hes into staying in their warrens.

August 20, 2008 at 4:42 pmI’m not defending him. I’m just saying all this hate pile-on is a useless excercise. make fun of Tom Cruise for being weird on Oprah’s couch, or in every minute of his scientological life; he’s still rich enough to buy entire countries. Compare Dick Cheney to Darth Vader; he’s still going to make money off the war in Iraq.
I don’t think ridicule or shame keeps the next man from being a dickhead, any more than watching your friends get DUI’s really keeps you from driving drunk if that’s what you’re determined to do.
phelps is such a douche
August 20, 2008 at 5:39 pmWow Fitsum, if you think criticizing celebrities is futile, writing for pop-culture blog must be a big fucking waste of your time.
August 20, 2008 at 6:07 pmobviously. dumbass.
August 20, 2008 at 6:15 pmthat was awesome
i’m pulling a 180
douche it is
at least how he dresses
he really needs a personal stylist
with all his money, he can afford one
Anna Wintour looks like she’s going to bitch slap him
August 20, 2008 at 8:12 pmdamn! i just came back and read this.
pedro - for the record, i wasn’t really addressing you; i was addressing douche-sayers in general. sorry if you thought i was. just wanted to make that clear. but, yes, i am a dick.
August 20, 2008 at 11:31 pm
we already knew michael phelps was a douche. that’s why we prefer to look at him in a speedo rather than his street clothes.
that picture of him with anna wintour. how the fuck did he manage to do that, he probably didn’t know who or what she was/is. which adds to his douchiness.
