I try not to get too into television shows, but my roommates here in Shanghai are into Breaking Bad, a many-award-winning cable TV show, leading me to seeing most of season three, which they have on dvd.

In the middle of watching, Lance Armstrong confessed to cheating. I couldn’t help but notice in both cases

• His story began with a modestly successful man getting cancer
• Which he overcame
• To a life of more drama
• Got into drugs
• Lying
• Hiding from cops
• Legal issues
• Got in over his head, but kept going
• Partnered with other drug users
• All happening on TV
• etc etc

Lance Armstrong is a one-man Breaking Bad.
