he deserved the suspension, kellogs is perfectly legit to say they dont want him representing their brand anymore, and all the rest.
but what the guy doesnt deserve is a public crucifixion, which is what some media outlets seem to want to do to him.
he made a stupid, youthfull, (he is only 23 after all) indiscretion. he was at a party and he didnt say no (wheres nancy reagen when we need her?).
instead of pointing fingers at the guy and saying how wrong the indiscretion was. i choose to look at how the guy has handled the situation since the picture appeared. he did not deny it once. he acknowledged he shouldnt have been in that situation was wrong for his actions and apologized to everyone he could possibly think of. and has accepted the suspension and kellogs firing without any complaining, appealing, or whining.
honestly while everyone else is bashing him and questioning his ability to be a role model for kids (as if any stranger in the public eye should be a role model for kids). i kind of wish my nieces and nephew new who this guy was, so that i could show them that this is the type of responsibility that i want to demand from them. for as i am always telling them....i dont expect them to always be perfect. but i do expect them to recognize and take responsibility when they arent, and to always try to improve themselves.
