As anti-substance as I am, I think he was screwed by someone
whom he may have regarded as a friend at a private gathering.

Yes, he shouldn't have done it but after all the hoopla, he
may have wanted to be just one of the guys at a private party.
At his age, that high school mentality still rules many kids.

He did seem suitably abashed in the interview I saw, regarding
all the fuss as a "punishment" for his "sin".

If he was Michael Smith this would all be a non-issue.

I don't think I buy anything from Kelloggs, anyway.
