Spanish Man Pisses off the Wrong Bull

Bull sports (fighting, running, and who knows what the hell else) always seemed pointless to me in the “hey, let’s risk our lives for no apparent reason” kind of way (not to mention their inherent cruelty… oh wait, I just did). It appears they are pressed for time in Spain because they have merged the traditional pregame BBQ with an actual bull running event. I’m not sure who had the idea of lighting the bulls on fire before letting them loose, but it doesn’t seem like a terribly good idea. Especially for the guy who died after being gored by one of these bulls (I guess there was no wound cauterization benefit going on). And you thought American rednecks were stupid.

Here’s the story.
