Michael Phelps: Beijing

I'm sure you know by now that this is the new face of everything for the next 5-10 years. When I say everything I mean cereal boxes, swim wear, polo, America, etc. Right now the nation has been swept up in this Michael Phelps mania and with good reason. Just in case you've been under a rock Mr. Phelps has won a spotless 8 gold medals in all of the events that he participated in at the 08 Olympics. He went on record to say: "I wanted to do something that nobody ever did... this goes hand in hand with my goal of changing swimming." The whole world was watching as Phelps showed up and performed on the greatest stage in the world. This is really astounding to fans especially after braking his wrist in a nasty accident and not being able to try as hard as usual due to the injury and then there was the fact that it has never been done before with the original record being set at 7 gold medals. Phelps has impressed the whole nation and celebrities aren't excluded, Kobe Bryant and LeBron James were in the stands cheering him on as he captured his 7th gold medal. 
In addition he has captured the eye of Lindsay Lohan who released a statement saying: "That's amazing, tell him that I want to meet him."
