Michael Phelps gets CoD: WoW early.. Just a I O U

Tyranitar24 | August 29, 2008 | Interview | Playstation 3 Misc

Yesterday, Micheal Phelps appeared on the Early Show and talked about his Olympic achievements, what he's doing now, and a lot more.

At the end of the interview, Phelps was presented with a early copy of CoD: WoW.. but inside the cover was just a "I O U" card. The host, Maggie Rodriguez, made it seem that a actual copy of the game was in there. I bet Phelps was pretty disappointed when he actually opened up the box.

Check out Phelps on the Early Show in the source.

That’s right; Olympic world record setting, 8-time gold medalist Michael Phelps was featured on CBS News’s “Early Show” this morning. He talks about his achievements, his new-found fame, and experiences during and after his phenomenal showing at the 2008 Olympics.

What’s different about this interview is that at the end, Maggie Rodriguez presents Phelps with an early copy of Call of Duty: World at War. As it turns out, Michael Phelps is a big Call of Duty fan, so we wanted to give him the first copy of CoD:WW. It’s well deserved Michael!

I'd be really disappointed if I opened it and all it was was an IOU.

  _{He wins cause he's the best damn Swimmer the world has pretty much seen tbh. But toying him with a IOU of a box supposedly of CoD5 really doesn't make you look good. In fact Its the most idiotic thing a person can do, and pretty low.}
