Not the Onion

For news articles which seem so much like satire that you're surprised they're not from The Onion.

Rules
  1. Headlines must exactly match the articles'.
  2. Posts must be genuine news articles, not satire, opinion, or tabloid pieces.
  3. News must be current.
  4. Popular political, religious, or social views are not Oniony, no matter how ridiculous you may think them.

However, former US cyclist Lance Armstrong seemed less than impressed. “Oh no, he’s straight up stopped,” said Armstrong in an Instagram story he posted. “Oh no, no, no.”

Yeah, I'll take someone showing affection to their life partner over the opinion of someone who dragged the image of the sport through the mud via rampant cheating and unbridled narcissism.

Imagine what people would be saying if he kissed his husband instead of wife. Something like, "He's shoving it all in our faces!" or "No straight couple would ever do that in such a public event! Why can't they show some decorum!"
