I hope he's not allowed back into cycling for owning up finally, but that's the chatter I've heard/read.
I hope he loses his shirt. I hope the people he bullied and was absolutely horrid to, for telling the truth, something he was incapable of doing until now, sue his ass. He deserves that, at the very least.

That "joke" isn't making fun of just Lance, it is making fun of everyone who has ever had cancer.

Okey dokey.
Just as an aside, my father died of colon cancer, 10 years ago. Lost 2 aunts to breast cancer, cousin with breast cancer right now, lost one aunt to ovarian cancer, have had some cousins with leukemia and so on. I'm not unfamiliar with cancer. Still amuses me to a degree, the picture. Know my father would have laughed his ass off at. But we shared a rather dark humor so there's that...

Should have checked there first. My friend from Costa Rica posted it this morning, on his FB. Ooops. Will check that thread prior to posting any other pictures.

Is it funny if you shot yourself up with a bunch of substances that lead to a much greater chance of getting cancer?

Some good quotes and background of the quotes from Armstrong over the years.
Quote:
"He's trying to back up his old lady."
Among those who crossed Armstrong's path was fellow cyclist Frankie Andreu. He and his wife, Betsy, were once among Armstrong's closest friends. The two say they were with Armstrong when he told a doctor he had taken performance-enhancing substances, including EPO, testosterone, cortisone, growth hormone and steroids. The Andreus testified about the incident under oath.
Armstrong, in a videotaped deposition, said he had never made such remarks. As for Frankie Andreu, Armstrong said, "I feel for him," adding, "I think he's trying to back up his old lady."
Sports Illustrated reported that Armstrong disparaged Betsy Andreu's testimony for years, "telling SI in 2007 that Andreu was motivated by 'bitterness, jealousy and hatred' and claiming to The Guardian (a British publication) a year later, 'Betsy blogs 24 hours a day about me. If that ain't sick, what is?'"
Betsy Andreu said she had to go on "a quest to clear my name because I never, ever, ever lied about anything."
Her remarks came in a documentary, first shown on Australian TV network ABC and later broadcast by CNN, in which Armstrong's remarks under oath can be seen.
|
Quote:
"I can't lie"
An expression Armstrong has used many times in various contexts, generally having nothing to do with doping.
Now, it speaks for itself.
|
Quote:
"I'm sorry for you"
In one of many outbursts against those who dared to question the facade he presented to the world, Armstrong had this to say to "the cynics and the skeptics: 'I'm sorry for you. I'm sorry you can't dream big and I'm sorry you don't believe in miracles,'" Australia's ABC TV network reported in the program "The World According to Lance."

Anyone know if Calgary gets the Oprah Winfrey network? If so, what channel is it on Shaw?
If not, what channel (on Shaw) will televise the Lance Armstrong interview?

I didn't know tits could be loosened.
The joke makes fun of those who have had their ball removed due to testicular cancer. I think you're giving it extra scope by including all cancer. Sorry, I couldn't hear you over the sound of your indignation.

My guess is that the interview will be soundly covered by every media source. Just read a summary so you don't have to expose yourself to those two egomaniacs.
