Lance Armstrong to run the New York marathon

We admire Lance's moment of truthfulness in admiting that he's only running to fill the gaping void in his life rather than to raise money for charity. What with all the time he's spent hanging around with George W. Bush and chatting to Jay Leno, it's quite satisfying that he's made a return to "selfish bastard" form.
But filling the devasting emptiness with SPORT? Ex-professional cyclists are supposed to fill their hollow, tattered lives with frame-building, binge-eating or being fucking hermits, not SPORT. This only emphasises our belief that Lance isn't a proper cyclist at all.
Derailed suspects that Lance will pay eight other runners to pace him at the front, before running the final 15 metres alone. Seven times. Until everybody is so fucking bored of him winning it that they start inventing drug charges just to make him go away.
