After refusing to sell the bong that Miley Cyrus smoked salvia out of due to “sentimental value,” the owner is now having second thoughts according to TMZ. He’s currently accepting offers and hopes that the $400 Gravatron Helix can fetch “five figures.” This many media cycles later? Good luck.
Meet Kenneth McAllister. He’s a 33-year-old asshole from Chicago who was fired for wearing a poorly made protest t-shirt to the Citgo gas station where he worked as a cashier. It read: “Say No To Bongs.” Apparently, the station sells candy, potato chips, soda, and other unhealthy products, but that’s not what bothered him, it was the bongs reports the Sun Times.

Back in June, you may recall the bong smoking baby photo that a young mother posted online because she thought it was LOL funny. Well, she’s been arrested for possession of drug paraphernalia. Like us, investigators determined there was smoke in the chamber, but as far as they’re concerned, the baby wasn’t harmed.
There’s still some debate about whether or not the baby in this photo was taking a bong hit, but in this latest case, not so much.
In California, with a proper prescription, residents can legally purchase weed, but bongs? Totally illegal! And thanks to Governor Schwarzenegger, it will remain that way with his office killing a bill that would have legalized water pipes and other delightful paraphernalia. Then over in Minnesota, you have another Republican governor acting really stupid with Tim Pawlenty vetoing a bill that would restrict prosecutors from using “bong water to calculate the weight of controlled substances in drug cases.” Finally, Florida, passed a law that will basically put head shops out of business.
Selling bongs to minors is now illegal in Utah. Wait, it wasn’t before? |TSLT|

Fourteen time Olympic gold champion Michael Phelps was forced to grovel on the Today show over his now infamous bong hit photo in what must be the roll out of his image rebuilding campaign. He told Matt Lauer that it was all a “big mistake.” He must have meant the getting caught part, not the bong hit. |MSNBC|
A 20 year-old moron from Lincoln, Nebraska was arrested after police discovered that he stuffed his six-smonth-old female cat, Shadow, into a homemade bong. He claimed it was acting hyper and assumed that jamming the feline into a restrictive smoke filled chamber the size of a shoebox would subdue it. While some might decry his actions as wanton animal cruelty, he should really be prosecuted for smoking out of a plexiglass box with a garden hose attached to it in the first place—that’s just plain barbaric! You’ll never win the gold like that! |AP|
