Not all online videos featuring unexpected celebrities are the same.
This video from Outside magazine starring Lance Armstrong doesn't go for laughs. Instead, it's strangely practical. So much so that you might wonder if you've missed the joke.
The disgraced cyclist, who was stripped of his seven Tour de France victories in 2012 and admitted to doping in 2013, appears in a tongue-in-cheek instructional clip in which he educates viewers on how to change a flat tire on a bike.
His instructions are straightforward and pretty useful for amateur cyclists. And that's what makes the video, which went up earlier this week, so odd. It's just so... normal.

Nice vid actually.
Have to like the sign outside the bike shop "Put a little fun between your legs".

Armstrong's mission was always to gain sympathy and the support of the fans. The more people liked him and the more he was viewed as a hero, the harder he would be to take down.
He flew under a myth of LIVESTRONG raising money for cancer research when it's main mission was cancer awareness, NOT research. That means money from LIVESTRONG could buy a jet and Lance would fly around the world in racing in triathlons and bike races in his LIVESTRONG gear hiring the worlds best coaches, all in the name of cancer awareness.
He is the greatest fraud in American sports who always has an agenda with numero uno in mind and left a tral of pissed off people and burned relationships behind him of people he has fricked over.
It's sad, because I really, REALLY wanted to like him. LIVESTRONG did help people, but it could have helped so many more. Lance was always t be #1 priority. Hopefully, the new leadership can bring a new image, but it will take alot of work.

Yup. I agree with all of that.

This pisses me off.
What in the frick are these people going for? It's an instructional video explaining how to change a tire...nothing more. They're all like "omg it's so...normal!!! It's STRANGELY PRACTICAL!! Did we miss the joke!?" No you dumbfricks, it's supposed to be straightforward. It's a how to video. These people are absolutely mystified that a video doesn't have jokes that they have to mention how practical it is over and over again. Seems very odd to me.

I've always struggled with how I felt about him. One one hand I enjoyed the arrogance he had which you need to be the best. Aside from doping because he still did everything in his power to train the hardest and win. I remember hearing a story where one of his trainers moved his seat down like half a mm or something ridiculous and told the writer " watch he's going to notice and tell me to adjust it", writer thought no way and sure enough lance noticed.
On the other hand I'm not sure if the guy isn't one of the most manipulative, selfish, and fake people in sports history.

I kind of think he is both. Winning the TDF doped or not is not easy. He had to have good luck in not getting caught in crashes or gear failure.

And everyone else was doping too.

Winning the TDF doped is very very hard.
Winning it not doped is impossible.

I give him a pass; he paid his dues eating plenty of Crow.
He reminds one of a Brett Fav-er-ray now. That's not a compliment.
