Just one problem: Armstrong never wore the shirt.
As the cover explains in small text, the garment is "not Armstrong's real T-shirt," and the cyclist is none too pleased. On Twitter, he wrote that the text was Photoshopped into the image and called the stunt "lame bullshit." He also derided the altered photo as "weak."
Wow. When did the kids take over. I don't have any problem with Photoshopping in or out things that were not shot, but I would think it common practice to at least let the subject KNOW what was going t be done. It would be the right thing to do. It makes sense. It is smart business.
Hell, it would be common courtesy to do it.
Sigh... we need some more grownups in the publishing business. Not only is it lame, as Armstrong pointed out, it is plain stupid business as well.
