Due to the lengthy discussions about the Phelps situation, let's make this one short and sweet!
What's your opinion?
1. Don't give a ****.
2. Phelps is just another kid... kids do stupid things.
3. Phelps should learn from this and speak to kids about drunk driving.
4. Phelps should be prosected to the fullest extent and lose sponsorships.
5. Undecided.

You do realize, of course, he didn't own up to it until a week later when Matt Druge (spelling?) put it on the web. I don't find it particularly admirable that he drove drunk, waited a few days, got found out by the media, went public and is now a crusader. That, to me, sounds a lot like a PR machine gearing up, not a person who immediately owns up to a wrong.
The way I understood it, from what the different articles have been saying, he was caught on Friday night, and then the following Monday is when the story broke. It also said that after his release, so I guess Saturday morning, he called the media himself to give a statement and his apology. So my understanding is he did own up "immediately" but the media didn't release it until Monday.
