Bill Burr Takes Aim at Lance and Oprah on Conan...

Yogi says...

He did pay a price. He lost all his trophies that he won, to me that is the price you pay for cheating in a sport. A sport, that doesn't fucking matter. Yet we bring athletes in front of a Senate commission, and when they lie we try to throw them in jail? What happens when a President lies? What happens when a General lies? What happens when a Bankster lies?

You see this is the problem I have, people are disproportionately passionate about Armstrong or Barry Bonds cheating at a sport. Yet when people do serious harm in the world, kill people or risk the continuation of our species, nothing significant happens.

So no I don't give a shit, Armstrong did nothing wrong. He didn't kill anyone, he didn't poison the planet, he didn't throw children out on the streets to be homeless. He won some stupid little jerseys, and people care more about that then their own lives. It's pathetic, we deserve our fate.

To condense this more seriously, Armstrong was the organiser and chief perpetrator of PEDs in cycling.
Given the rules in which he operated he should pay a price. There is also the related legal backlash from various third parties - good luck there Lance.

But I do accept we need to ask if a war on PEDs is any different to the (arguably) failed war on drugs.

People *want* to see cyclists bombing along at speeds ordinary folk can't muster. They want to see Olympic records broken. You either do this by being a naturally outstanding athlete (e.g Bolt, who's on record as happy to chomp down chicken nuggets) or start doping.

It's bothered me a bit that improving yourself in this sense is beyond the pale but having access to the best facilities, coaching and medical staff while others skimp by with very little is somehow acceptable.

I think it's acceptable because it's a nonsense to try to police that. And perhaps it's the same with PEDs.

IIRC there was a British athlete who went on to voice support for PEDs. That was a long time ago and I don't recall the name. A few more today need to start questioning conventional thinking.

Yogi says...

To be honest I care less about you than I care about Lance having his jerseys. Think about it *Glare*

Also Jail for Perjury and Fraud, why? We don't put bankers in jail, we don't put war criminals in jail. Why the fuck does everyone get soo upset about athletes cheating but people who cause real problems in our country "Eh whatever." Fuck Everyone!

ChaosEngine said:

How do you feel about the part where he sued several people into the ground simply for telling the truth about him?

Fuck Lance Armstrong. He's an egotistical prick and frankly, he should go to jail for perjury and fraud.

Best Birthday Surprise Ever!!

Trout says...

Yeah it's funny and all. Sort of.

I just watched the original. The kid is actually delighted at getting a giant "monster truck" poster. You know, the kind of oversized car crusher with huge wheels that they show off at county fair tractor pulls.

I have kids this age. And looking at this kid - buzz cut, track pants, burly dad with a Steelers jersey - I can't help but cringe when I think what his Monday morning will be like at his likely rural U.S. public middle school. If I had to make an educated guess, he's going to get bullied. For weeks.

So down vote for me. De-viral this one. And it's not that funny anyway.

Oregon Woman Finds Letter from Notorious Chinese Labor Camp

I was once sitting it my couch watching TV with a nice Coke and Scotch in front of me and then Jersey Shore came on the TV and I couldn't find the remote. It was LITERALLY like being in a chinese slave labor camp.

Darkhand says...

The stop signs may be a federal law but only recently have the penalties been increased to LUDICROUS standards.

I think the point that you are missing (for the ones saying that you shouldn't need to stop, or that the stop signs should be replaced with slow signs) is that this kind of law has been this way for about 35+ years. This is NOT a new law, at least in my area.

I'm not sure where you are from but I live in Jersey. This law, or at least the stop signs on buses, were enacted within the past decade at most.
I didn't say kids are dumber these days. I said things like this are making our kids dumber because we're making everything so safe for them nobody learns any life lessons.
Maybe things are different in yoru Area but in my Area there are no Elementary School Buses. The younget you get on a bus is when you're headed into middle school so you are 12 years old. Someone who is 12 years old should know to look both ways before crossing and not cross in front of the bus etc etc etc.

STOP signs on school buses are a Federal Law.... as in the entire USA.. NTSB #131 for the last 21 yrs

WTF does the "L" stand for in TLC? The Laughable Channel?

pierrekrahn says...

I'm also sure they play it up for the cameras

>> ^Kofi:

I'm going to defend this show... somewhat.
The dad loves his family and works hard. He does a lot to provide for them.
Honey boo-boo is a funny kid that is not merely the mirror of her mothers unfulfilled childhood desires. She has some genuine fight in her and isn't a nightmare "me me me" kid that you might expect.
The other kids seem pretty well adjusted.
The mum, well, she has issues but she isn't controlling or nasty.
Their diet is fucking dreadful!
Don't get me wrong. This is freak-show television but they are nice, even lovable, freaks without the bitchiness and machismo one has come to expect thanks to shows like Jersey Shore or Real Housewives.
