It’s been a long and beautiful journey this past week as we’ve joined Pamplona in celebrating The Mystery of the Adventurous Spirit That Drives Man, and also the intense hemmoraging, shattered bones, futile screaming and televised death. But there can only be one winner of the Running of the Bulls Bodycount, and the 2009 title is most richly deserved.

This morning Spaniard Daniel Romero became the event’s 15th death as [...]

By Jack Tomas at 8:53 AM.
A Spanish man was gored to death by a bull today during Pamplona’s running of the bulls. It’s the first death of such kind since the 1995 goring of American Matthew Tassio. The reason for the goring is thought to be because thousands of assholes were fucking with some pissed off bulls.
