PAMPLONA, Spain (AP) — One elderly thrill-seeker was gored in a leg and five others slightly injured as thousands of adrenaline-fueled runners raced ahead of six fighting bulls in the streets of the northern Spanish city of Pamplona in the first running of the bulls of this year's San Fermin festival, officials said Saturday. Runners, in traditional white clothing and red kerchiefs around their necks, tripped over each other or fell in the mad daredevil annual rush along early morning dew-moistened slippery streets to the city's bull ring.So one septuagenarian and 5 other crazy people got gored or trampled by bulls as they purposely harassed and ran with them through the streets? The only problem I see is that there weren't enough bulls. There were "thousands" of people running. That's too much work for 6 bulls. Yeah, they got an average of one person each, but they are still working against pretty long odds. Plus, it's really unfair* to a lot of runners who barely get to see a bull, much less have the opportunity to accumulate scars instead of mere yarns.
I propose that next year, each runner have his own bull. That will up the challenge and news level no little bit. Those Spanish streets are narrow and can get pretty crowded, so to make sure there is no confusion over whose bull is whose, each runner ought to be fastened to the bull by a tether of about 10' length. And just to add to the festive atmosphere, the bulls need to have really big sparklers attached to their horns. I would love to see the story that would follow such a celebration of machismo: "Six Survive Running of the Fools."
* and probably racist, sexist, and heteronormative to boot.

Or at least they could release bulls during the walking of the nudes.
What is it with moonbats protesting naked? One could argue that they are young and foolish, but at least in a few painful cases, they are merely the second.
Boobies are quite persuasive.

My hypothesis:
I think it has to do with the male of the species. The moonbat male is a supplicating wuss, who will mold his political views in exchange for sex. Or at least pretend to.
The female has all the power in moonbat mating. The female moonbat gets a very inflated opinion of herself, and thinks that her charms will be effective on other species.
The males are just there because there are naked women, or because they are crazy, in a few painful cases.
As an alternate hypothesis, it could be that they are the spawn of Satan and that he likes his minions naked.

I remember seeing some footage of an OWS rally with a topless moonbattess silently holding a sign that said, "I didn't say look, I said listen."
Pretty much captured the whole schizophrenic culture perfectly.
Why hasn't this event been sued out of existence yet? This is obviously a known risk tha the event organizers knew in advance was dangerous and did not take any reasonable steps to mitigate. Their negligence is obvious to teh point of being criminally held as accomplices.
They need to have temporary wooden barriers constructed to keep bulls and runners in separate (but equal) lanes of traffic so that they cannot colide with each other.
