Lance Armstrong: The Antichrist?
The other night, Julianna and I were astonished to find Lance Armstrong prominently gazing over our fair city. Thanks to American Century Investments, we now have an eyesore of a billboard that makes Kansas City feel just a little too much like West Hollywood.
Yuck.
Anyway, this got my wife and I thinking…
Here we have Lance Armstrong, an instantly recognizable public figure in most parts of the world. He has recovered from a deadly “head injury” (well, sort of). He has gotten most of the Western world to proudly wear “his mark” (don’t believe me?). He may just very well run for some public office one day.
If anything, the similarities creep me out. Remind me not to vote for Lance if he ever does run for public office.

His picture over the plaza really is wierd and creepy. Thanks Tim for the post. :)
I can’t stand Lance. He’s smarmy. I don’t think this is news to anyone, but I thought I’d mention.
Also: “Carnal germ snot” is pure genius. I think I’ll henceforth refer to the unfortunate man who bears the name Lance Armstrong as “CGS.”
Anyway, this comment from a gossip article I found about them at about.com reminded me of your post:
“Life after Retirement for Lance:
There are rumors that Lance is interested in running for governor of Texas on his way to the White House.”
Christine ~ I was trying to find a link to an article that proved my point, but I couldn’t. Thanks for providing the info!
Still, the billboardization of buildings is something I thought I had safely fled, and that is sort of a disturbing image to have gazing down upon The Plaza.
