Lance Armstrong sends Twitter into trolling meltdown
Lance Armstrong opened himself to the internet masses today after an attempt at recovering a lost bag went south very quickly.
The disgraced cyclist, who was stripped of his seven Tour de France titles for doping, sent the call out to his more than 3.8 million Twitter followers to help him find his lost bag.
“Lost a green duffel bag around the intersection of 69&9 in Forest city today,” he tweeted, requesting that if the bag was found by one of his followers, they contact his management.
Lost a green duffel bag around the intersection of 69&9 in Forest city today. Email lancemanager@gmail.com if found. Thanks

Turns out not everyone who follows you on Twitter is in anyway sympathetic to your cause. Armstrong found that out the hard was as the Twitter trolls lined up one-by-one with their best shots.
@lancearmstrong don't look inside the bag or take to the authorities... Just email lance, guys.
