Just had their first [human] fatality since the mid 1990's.
Let's have your opinions of this event.
Pamplona Bull Run
It's fun! The odd fatality all adds to the excitement! To be fair, I'd rather see human fatalities of willing participants than bulls or innocent bystanders (if there are any..) The same applies to bull fighting; I am always on the side of the bull and love it when they gore the "bull fighter" or jump the barriers and end up kicking the shit out of the baying crowd! Great stuff! Would I attend either event in real life? Maybe, but I'd stand right at the back, well away from the loonies.
They should bbq the victim, it's what they do to the bulls when they lose.
Can you imagine anyone trying to run an event like that here?
Just think about the health and safety forms, the bulls would have to agree to run slow and have safety padding on their horns.
Didn't some one die in that chasing the cheese thing in that rural place?

Gloucester is not that rural. Seefacts lives there.
Somehow I always picture him chewing on a straw...

I believe they have a Sommerfield now. But they have to turn the lights off at dusk to stop the locals circling and banging their heads into it.

Huzzah for the bull!
It's morbid but I can spend many a happy hour on YouTube watching matadors and pamplona freaks being gored. It's very satisfying seeing these bastards getting a bit of beefy karma.

Sounds spicier than chicken korma.
My advice is to always grab the horn by the bulls.
This bull got the matador where it counts. (Caution, link contains photo of Spanish genitalia.)
F**king twats deserve all they get. I just feel sorry for the bulls.

As the Fraggles would say.
(You're giving yourself away!)
Darwin award and all that.
