Public Opinion Is Shifting
B. Lafferty
shift. Words such as "scandal" and "lie" and "steroids" are now the most
popular phrases used to describe Armstrong, according to Zeta
Interactive, a marketing firm that tracks online sentiments. In 2008,
when Armstrong was the fourth-most talked about athlete, words used to
describe him included "hero" and "legend" and "Nike" — a reference to
one of his main sponsors.
"Anyone or anything associated with Lance Armstrong should be very
worried right now," Zeta Interactive CEO Al DiGuido said. "He has faced
these kinds of allegations before, but the fuel really seems to be
kicking in this time."
Fifty-eight percent of online sentiments about Armstrong remain
positive, according to Zeta's rating system, but that's down from 86
percent at the beginning of July and the first time that it has fallen
below 60 percent.

Thank you for FINALLY providing a rationale for your frequent and repetitive
postings regarding Lance, doping, lying, conspiracy, scandals & more.
See, now I've even helped you out in your quest to manipulate the search
engines. Wait.. I'm going to edit your included content and help you out
even more! See what a great guy I am? Always there to lend a helping hand.
Did you get the idea from that earlier Google prank where a search for
"French military victories" came up with "Your search - "French military
victories" - did not match any documents"?

When I hear the Olsen Twins say Armstrong is a criminal, is when I'll
know that Lance's goose is cooked.

In case I was being too obtuse here, the point I was making was this-
If you say something enough, it DOES become true! (Because search
engines looking for phrases will pick up on that and report it back as
evidence of, say, changing public opinion on something).

You aren't the obtuse one. People's live are made and broken that
way, and, of course, that's what Laffaroni has been attempting to do
for many years. The sad thing is that what's happening with current
cycling events has, of course, absolutely zilch to do with him, but
he'll take it to mean he's 'winning'.
I guess everybody has to look for success wherever they can find it -
it's just kind of odd to do that at the expense of other people and to
help discredit a sport he supposedly loves. Then again, he has a
track record of doing that. Nice to be on a 'winning' streak, eh?

Thats disappointing. I thought it would be a movie about rolling in the
hay getting laid.
