The effigy, to be burnt Saturday,

Towns across Britain light bonfires and set off fireworks on Nov. 5 to commemorate Guy Fawkes' failed plot in 1605 to blow up Parliament.
The bonfires are traditionally topped with an effigy of Fawkes but have been decorated with contemporary figures over recent years.

Artist Frank Shepherd, top, poses with his creation of U.S. cyclist Lance Armstrong who has been unveiled as this year's Edenbridge Bonfire Society celebrity guy, during an unveiling for the media in Edenbridge, England, Wednesday Oct. 31, 2012. The Edenbridge Bonfire Society has a long tradition of building symbolic effigies of famous people to burn during their Guy Fawkes bonfire night, and this year it will be disgraced Tour de France cyclist Lance Armstrong who gets torched for his villainy in sport.

Poor Lance, from international hero to international disgrace.But do you know, there are still people here in San Antonio and Austin that defend what he did. Have heard comments like, " everyone uses drugs anyway, he was taking drugs to keep the cancer from coming back, they were just jealous of him, you know it's not true". Sometimes we texans are a bit slow...
