Lance Armstrong: The Antichrist?

Lance Armstrong, our city's protectorThe other night, and I were astonished to find prominently gazing over our fair city. Thanks to , 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.

At least he recovered from his deadly head injury and isn’t, to the best of my knowledge, listening in on my phone calls right now. As Big Brothers go, I’ll take my chances with Lance.

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.

I too Tim get creeped out by his billboard and attitude. I will say on the same tone as the “mark” thing that there is a big difference between wrist and hand and I definitely don’t see any headbands with his message. Shucks, I’m giving someone ideas. I congratulate him on his successes and surviving a tragedy but I just don’t like what he stands for.

His picture over the plaza really is wierd and creepy. Thanks Tim for the post. :)

You both know that an anagram of Lance Armstrong is “carnal germ snot,” right?

My aunt works in that building, and Lance is stealing her sunlight, not to mention her fabulous view. Not only is he a wife-leaver and a pompous ass, he’s also a THIEF!

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.”

I just saw something on TV today about Lance and Sheryl Crow breaking up today, and did a little google search since I was clueless enough to have not ever registered that they had gotten engaged…

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.”

Mary ~ I knew you’ve had a long-time quarrel with Lance (er, CGS), so I was pretty sure you’d be on my side.

Christine ~ I was trying to find a link to an article that proved my point, but I couldn’t. Thanks for providing the info!
