Ponies???? LOL SURE YOU KNOW A LOT ABOUT US!!!
"They grease pigs for catching contests that badly maul the animals. They string geese up by their feet and wrench their heads off." Pig catching contest??? LOL Wasn't that american??? We eat pig as you eat cow...
"Some fiestas are particularly infamous, such as the goat fiesta of Manganeses de la Polyorosa, where villagers throw a goat from a church tower. If the goat survives, it is drowned in the town fountain." LOL That's a famous fiesta, but the article is a little bit manipulated (like always, it's just perfect) 1) The goat lives like a king during all it's life. 2) It NEVER dies nor get hurt, maybe fears a little bit, but it always falls to a BIG sheet. That part of the fountain is a psychotic fantasy from the writer. LOL
"They suspend pigeons and squirrels in pots and pelt the animals with stones until they fall. They bury birds with their heads sticking up in order to decapitate them with swords. They throw ducks with clipped wings into the sea so that swimmers can rip them apart in tug-of-war contests." "In the annual Fiesta of San Juan in Coria, tourists and locals armed with blowpipes shoot bulls with darts until their bodies are a bloody mess, and then they castrate and kill them." Nothing to say about all this, it's taken from a Stephen King's book... Oh, sorry, yes! That's good science fiction. If you ever want to KNOW, please, come to spain and come like Japanese do, who always respect and try to learn about the others.
"The "running of the bulls" in Pamplona is held every July. Each day for a week, six terrified fighting bulls are set loose in the cobbled streets as thousands of mindless daredevils try to dodge their deadly horns." This one's the best! Remember that are always mindless drunks from the USA who always get in front of the bull and get killed... It's kinda funny, huh? WHY ALWAYS AMERICANS? Maybe they forgot some details who never knew thanks to articles like this. That's a folkloric party which represents how they used to change the bulls from a prarie to another, and they had to cross the town, which is now a city... The bulls are brutally killed? SURE NOT! And it happens that NO ONE touches a bull (please see picture, If you ever see a cow similar to that one somewhere in Spain, please call the police, it may cause extrange disease to common spanish cows. That's an exotic one for sure in our region!!! Please, DOOOOOON'T believe everything you see on a picture!!!) mmm... I said: NO ONE touches the bull... but here comes the tourist from the USA (90% of the cases) who is also learning to drink and he imagines himself at a Texas Rodeo. Next that happens is that local people take him out of the place... if the angry bull doesn't make it first! xD
Who wrote this??? Where he's been??? and when??? In 1700??? LOL That's what I mean! You believe almost everything you read on newspaper or whatch on TV!!! MASS-MEDIA RULES!!!
@ItalianStereotype: Please, I would like to read what you say you know. What about trying it in spanish??... oops LOL that was a joke, please
"They let you fuck your mother in Spain?" No, but our president don't forces his assistant (or whatever) for a BJ, that's surely to be proud of!!! "Damn dirty Mexicans" Mexico is not Spain... You didn't learn anything at all!!! Try again! (Better try going to school from the begining) LOL
