WTF? Spain-inspired Great Bull Run coming to U.S. Cities

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

33. Yet another opportunity for testosterone-poisoned, beer-fueled young guys

to be stupid. Though I suppose some equally foolish young women might participate as well. I looked at the web site for the "Great Bull Run," and they advertise it as follows: "Face the adrenaline rush of a lifetime as you’re pursued by 1,000-pound bulls stampeding down a quarter-mile course, then celebrate with thousands of thrill-seekers in a massive, day-long festival that also features our insane tomato food fight, Tomato Royale!" It sounds like one of those events you would expect to attract the guys who say "Hold my beer and watch this," then proceed to do something monumentally dumb.

I submit that bulls are too tame and safe; I think they should use grizzly bears or leopards or Cape buffaloes. Then Mr. Darwin can hand out even more awards.
