When I threw a pajama-party at my parent’s house in New Hampshire a few years back, about 70+ people showed up; it was outta control for my 18-year-old self, with girl’s lifting their shirts (revealing bras!) and dudes pissing themselves after having one beer (not “one-too-many” - just one).
Once my parents got word from the neighbors that a MASSIVE PARTY was underway at our house, they came home a day early, catching me in the midst of post-party cleanup.

Olympic athlete Marion Jones was stripped of her medals and wiped off the record books today due to her use of steroids during the 2000 Summer Olympic Games in Sydney, Australia. She admitted in October to using steroids in 2000 prior to the Olympics, and had returned her medals to the Olympic Committee before today’s announcement.

Do we as a society frown upon athletes that use steroids while some musicians take “art-enhancing” drugs on the regular just to attend rehab and be awarded with a big thumbs-up from the public?
