ok so they were making out. big deal. it does not mean a thing. the olympics are like that. people have the hormones raging, they make out with one another and nothing comes of it. besides phelps just won eight gold medals, is making a lot of money, and he is handsome and young. you think he's going to stick with a chick on the otherside of the world, when he can date around and get plenty of hot chicks. i don't think so. this was nothing more than a 23 year old man making out with a girl. i'm sure we will hear michael making out with lots of girls in the near future.
people!
why cant you just be happy for him and her?
i think they would be an Adorable couple.
and them kissing is splendid.
so stop being so fridgin' jelous of how great they both look and how wonderful at swimming they are.
