The Armstrong talking points

[Race Radio]

Recently there has been a flood of negative Armstrong stories. It can be entertaining to see that as soon as a story is on the internet the comments section of these stories are flooded with the same Pro-Armstrong talking points.

If you only read one story you hardly notice it, but if you read multiple you find that you see the same talking points over and over, almost as if their comments are scripted.....that is because they are.

BazaarVoice

BazaarVoice is a company that specializes in creating fake public opinion in an effort to shape opinion. Lance, Radioshack, Trek and the Foundation are all in the process of shifting to using Bazaarvoice instead of Public Strategies. They tried them out already through Oakley and found they can deliver a wide and subversive presence more naturally than Public Strategies.

So what is BazaarVoice's connection to Armstrong? Austin Ventures is a primary investor in Bazaarvoice. Chris Pacitti, GM Austin Ventures, is on the Board at Bazaarvoice. Mike Dodd is from Austin Ventures and is an "Advisor"

Austin Ventures? A venture fund founded by Joe Aragona, Livestrong board member and close friend of Armstrong. Here he is for his 50th birthday ride up Apl d'Huez....with Och, Armstrong, and Jeff Garvey

Christ... The Razorfish guy is involved:

Jeffrey A. Dachis

Jeff’s leadership and vision helped establish the digital services industry more than a decade ago, and he brings to his current company, Bond Art and Science, an unmatched mix of experience, passion and skill. In the last several years, Jeff’s recent work has been focused on running Studio Holdings, which manages a range of investments and online entertainment properties.

As Founder, CEO, President and Chairman of Razorfish, he grew the company from 2 to 2,500 employees with offices in nine countries; increased revenue 54,000% during 23 consecutive quarters of profitable growth; and introduced an IPO which raised $55 million and 25 mergers/acquisitions/buyouts in less than two years for over $ 2 billion, catapulting Razorfish's valuation to over $ 5 billion. The company won numerous performance, professional services and design awards, and, as part of Aquantive, was sold to Microsoft for $6 billion in cash, Microsoft's largest acquisition. Perhaps most impressive of all, Jeff helped build a culture of passion and professionalism that made Razorfish the leading brand in the marketplace, and one of the strongest remaining brands in that space today.

Jeff also created Razorfish Studios, a diverse entertainment company that created motion pictures (including Being John Malkovich), television programs, magazines, books, music, merchandise and internet-based online content through the award-winning RSUB. Jeff Also founded Razorfish Ventures, a $30m investment fund where he served as Managing Partner and Principal.

BTW, sold to MSFT long after Dachis had sold it for pennies.

Sooooooo, you're going to start yelling at me next?

I hit the "Acceptance" state about the fraud of "the greatest comeback from cancer by an 'athlete' and his highly 'effective' Foundation" long ago.

i doubt they need a ball polisher

 

[Benotti69]

so really what we are seeing is that LIVE$TRONG is to designed live rich with other rich folk while milking those stoopid enough to believe in fairytales and they'll do anything to milk them and protect the fairytale.

how soon before bazaar gets banned by software programs or PC software issues an alert to let you know bazaar is in use.

but for this heavy duty armour he has around him he's till not a happy camper is he......as witnessed by his performance down under in the race and press conferences.

 

[Mongol_Waaijer]

i doubt they need a ball polisher

they obviously have enough turd polishers on the Armstrong account

 

[Johnalex13]

No, you got that wrong. He saved mankind right now.
Rrrrrradio is always right and has huge impact. At least, someone told me so. Lance is finally done now that this thread appeared and the world knows that Lance rode with Joe Aragona on his 50th birthday. This is important stuff that will delight Nowitzky.
Rrrradio even found the holy grale (psssst, please don't tell him that this is only a low quality copy).

Lance can be proud that a vip like rrrrrradio offers a last tiny amount of his precious time for him to, for example, creating such a thread or finding such overhelming evidence by reading multiple Armstrong articles multiply multiple times.

So you got the message now ? Not ?
In reality, Lance doesn't have any supporters, fans or friends - he only has employees and/or scripts.
Each of these not totally anti-LA and each pro-LA post or comment on earth is a fake public opinion generated by a Taliban-bot or was scripted by a bad ugly programmer, who slaps his wife and children and visits hookers.

Now that I found this out I finally realize that I am a bot.
People like us do actually not exist, are poor souls influenced by bazaarvoice and paid by Lance, or are just some lonely, scripted bites.

employees, money receivers, fanboys and none-haters, let's dance.
We're the bots, we're the bots, we're we're we're the bots - or scripts.

People love to change their opinion because of others, especially on the internet.
I wonder who sent all these hater-scripts and bots. They seem to be programmed far more simple and need an upgrade to battle the others in quality and quantity.

It's very boring here with all these 1 and 0. Someone has a 2 ?

 

[Sanitiser]

I'm switching teams.

 

[onefastgear]

The CFO of Bazaarvoice is Stephen Collins, and this is his background from the site:

"In addition, Collins is a USAC category 2 competitive cyclist and a co-founding member of TriStar Cycling Team, a charitable organization with a mission of developing junior cyclists. Collins has also served on the board of directors of Carmichael Training Systems, a company providing coaching to endurance athletes including 7-time Tour de France winner, Lance Armstrong."

These guys move in small circles.

Jeff is also a former member of Austin Ventures - but it's a wonder Jeff didn't put on a Mellow Johnnies kit seeing as he is a member of Mellow Johhny's LLC.

Does the Tx corp commission have a database open to the public for corporate ownership records?

Yes, they do, but you have to join the service and pay $1.00 per search session.
