I don't get it. The top of the news these last few days is "Lance Armstrong... this and that". Popped on the radio to 680 News (CFTR) early this morning. What was the top story, you ask? Odd considering a traffic cop working on a film shoot, in downtown Toronto, as "paid duty" was struck by a car and rushed to St. Michael's Hospital with severe injuries.
The news-readers made the Lance Armstrong issue sound like an International Crisis. A fully-loaded Boeing 787 going down in flames would hardly rate as newsworthy to 680 News... and other news services; they are hardly alone in the Obsession of Lance.
If I ever met the man, I would have to break the ice by asking: "Are you Lance, by any chance?" (Thank you, Katrin Cartlidge and Career Girls.)

Armstrong admits he can't even remember how many people he's sued in the false defence of a lying reputation. Apologies mean nothing; perhaps restitution to those he sued actually would. In the end, the hugely publicized Oprah interview was just one fading brand propping up another.
You are right.
I read this morning that the interstellar Oprah special got a smaller audience than hoped-for... anticipated... expected. Whatever!
Thanks for the comment.
