Lance Armstrong to be Stripped of his 6 th TDF Title!!!

[ALBPM]

CNN is reporting that Lance Armstrong may be stripped of his 6th Tour de France title.

In a random check for banned substances, 3 were found in Armstrong's hotel room.

The 3 substances banned by the French, that were found in his hotel room were as follows:

(1) Toothpaste
(2) Deodorant
(3) Soap

The French officials also found several other items which they had never seen before including a testicle and a backbone...

I think this thread could be used in a psychological study about global attitude towards France.

Anyway, before anyone get's too upset, from Fawlty Towers:

Basil: "Don't mention the war. I mentioned it once, but I think I got away with it. So it's all forgotten now and let's hear no more about it. So that's two egg mayonnaise, a prawn Goebbels, a Herman Goering and four Colditz salads....no, wait a minute...I got confused because everyone keeps mentioning the war."

German: "Will you stop mentioning the war?"

Basil: " You started it."

German: " We did not start it."

Basil: " Yes you did, you invaded Poland..."

The French are too chaotic to have any attitude about them at all, as far as I'm concerned. Good and bad things abound. When I first saw this thread though, my thought was that some French official had randomly decided to deny that "damned American" the honor he had rightly won. Glad to see that didn't happen.

There are French members on this board so I don't think this is too appropriate, at least not for the Lounge...

of cource the jokes from Fawlty Towers (or 'Allo 'Allo for that matter), aren't denigrating (like saying that the French don't have backbone), but tongue-in-cheek (although maybe politically incorrect, but who cares for political correctness when there's no harm done).

Further more, why do the French not show backbone? by sticking to their view on what happened in the buildup to the invasion of Iraq, which in hindsight they were proven to be right of?
And therefor to be labelled as 'traitors' by US media leading to all the 'freedom fries' etc relabeling?

I definately can see the one without backbone here, and it's not France...

I have to say that the joke was fine except for the last line.

I laughed at the list of banned items and only read that last line as an afterthought. It didn't even really register for me at the time. Upon reflection, it's a pot shot and in poor taste.

Recent developments in Sudan seem to shed a new light on their behaviour.
