LOL: Scottish Fiction

I have just posted on how I sincerely believe that Lance Armstrong deserves to see his career crash and burn and get stripped of his seven Tour de France titles.

Then I came across an amusing article by Jay Busbee on Yahoo!Sports on a Scottish titbit he picked up via Reddit, as quoted here:

"Of course, the lawsuits are flying, with Armstrong charging that there is no merit to the USADA's accusations, and other entities, including the federal government, looking for their pound of flesh from Armstrong. Still, you can't just come right out and say Armstrong is a doper without risking incurring his wrath; he has filed suit before to protect his name.

So a Glasgow bookstore has taken a hide-in-plain-sight step: filing Armstrong's autobiography under the heading of "Fiction." Effective statement, isn't it?"

I'll say - very effective! As this photo published on Reddit clearly shows:

It's telling that this was published almost a week ago, i.e. almost a week before Armstrong finally had his seven Tour de France titles stripped by the world cycling federation, the UCI.

You have to hand it to the Scots - they can be a dry, wry bunch. ;-)
