The Bull Run in Pamplona

I've been watching the Bull Run in Pamplona on Spanish TV. 6 days of the same thing get's boring. I'm gonna start off a new annual event: Bullshitting in Pooplona. At least it'll be a laugh.

I did find this elaborate piece posted in 'Critique' difficult to understand the first time I read it. I was thrown by the whole 'Bull and/or Poop thing; and in my view, most of the lines were too long and some would be extremely difficult to deliver for even the most talented of actors. I wasn't sure about the very first line or even if there was a need for just one bull - or if the 'Spanish TV' would not have been clearer if viewed on a Sony Bravia 52" LCD HDTV. I started to read 'Bull Run in Pamplona' at noon and failed to see any glimmer of humour in it by the time I'd finished reading it at 6pm.

Sorry if this sounds negative but the whole thing is so subjective; there could be millions of people out there who really love it to bits. Is this 'annual event' a sitcom about a bull pooping in Pamplona once a year? (in which case, it's hard to see how a bull could annually poop in Pamplona - assuming, as is implied, that he only poops once a year and needs laxatives) - or are you establishing what the show will be about and what happens in future episodes? Could you give a brief synopsis, as this would make 'Bull Run in Pamplona' a bit clearer? Also the punchline, 'At least it'll be a laugh' could well be a predominant concept within the opening and closing of the neo-dialectic textual theory to attack and modify language in a comic way; an observation worth thinking about if you are to improve 'Bull Run in Pamplona'.

I look forward to your re-write.

Hmmm. Is this really worth posting here?

Is it a gag, a comment or something else.

.I'm pleased Joseff gave it the time to write such a full reply though.

Does anyone know where I can buy a car charger for a Nokia 5880? Just thought I'd use this bizarre thread to ask.

In Pamplona one can probably buy a bovine red flag charger.
