I love it when these pussy bullfighters get gored – I loved it when that chump got nailed in the neck and the horn came out through the mouth. And then the recent goring of the guy who lost an eye and has permanent facial paralysis! Yeahh! I can only hope that each bullfighter gets permanently disabled. Death is too easy for them – I want a massive disability that ruins these little spanish pricks for the rest of their lives – so they can remember when the bull shove a big horn up their little fruity chicken shit assholes.

i don’t think they should ban it, or any sporting contests between idiots and dangerous angry animals. it should simply be reformed. one bull, one naked matador and a fifteen foot fence around the ring. that’s a bullfight i’d watch.

Minotaurs are a threat to global security.

This is a good thing and I love the photo.

And your article made me think about Portuguese bullfighting because it’s different as they ride these fancy horses and don’t kill the bull in the ring, but they still use the bandarilhas (small javelins) in the back of the bull and hence still cruel.

Anyways, my point is after I read your article I found this website (http://www.lisbon-guide.info/about-portugal/bullfighting) and it mentioned MINOTAURS!!!! I think you have your Minotaur solution.

” In a fair fight, if the bull gores the matador, he would get to sip champagne and maybe get a lap dance from a cow with bedazzled spots.”

When I read this, I instantly got a picture of this in my mind. Made me laugh out loud sitting in my office. My co-workers probably think I have lost it.

Thanks! I was having a really bad day and you made me laugh — yet again.

“Its orange sands have witnessed delight and death.”

ugh. somebody definitely was trying to channel hemingway, but channeled the bulwer-lytton fiction contest instead.

Hemingway is not going to be pleased about this. The whole last third of The Sun Also Rises uses this as an extended metaphor for the protagonist’s emasculation.

hopefully the rest of spain will follow suit before the next century.

i’m ecstatic about the catelonia ban (i’ve been writing letters/yapping about it for a long time). but since the decision was based on the fact that bullfighting involves an indefensible act of extreme cruelty, it’s pretty stupid that the band doesn’t go into effect until 2012.

Yeah, I remember the day I realized the word “matador” does not, in fact, translate to “romantic figure who does this antiquated but honorable combat with a bull,” but actually and literally just means “killer” in Spanish. It also explained a lot about the old El Matador movie I watched in college, which was about a hitman. Not calling him a romantic figure at all, just a killer. So much more sense that way.
