We could not let this classic New York Post cover pass without crediting them for a landmark in tabloid journalism. If you passed out on the Subway looking at it, let us know! [NYP] More »

I have a feeling that after this incident, whenever the unfortunate matador goes to the dentist and he is told to open his mouth and say “ah” things are not going to be the same.
And we learn that what goes around not only comes around, it can do so with extreme prejudice.
TheSometimesWhy
Dear Lord, please tell me that’s photoshop. I can’t bear to click through to the story.

“Headless Body in Topless Bar” still makes me chuckle.
I remember the one with Arafat’s widow saying the “Fat Lady Cries” or something like that.

@Travis Gohr: Yes, that’s exactly how it works.

@Uncle_Billy_Slumming: Yeah, neutering an animal. That’s just cruel. What?
souligner
@DorothyBarker: It IS pretty disgusting. And I don’t get creeped easily.
TheExperience
@angaza: this was my first thought, as well. (sadly.) (but also, awesomely.)

@lobstr: bada-bing!

@BItterKitten: Like Glenn Beck?

@misha trotsky: No snark intended. I wouldn’t do that to you.

Okay, I can understand this guy living through this grotesque impalement, but I’m sorry, he’s not living to tell about it. He’s not using that mouth to tell about anything anymore.
I’m nauseous…

no, it is not the “finest” (shudder) post cover ever. finest post cover ever is headless body in topless bar, and you damn well know it.

@Heneage: I would like to buy that bullfighter a drink.
Just so I can make the age old, “Got a hole in your lip?” joke.

@Weegee’s bored: You should see the tattoo he got from the ranch… it’s brand new, lulz.

@anchower: In the Department of Disgusting Maxilliofacial Injuries, this is nothing. Ever seen someone’s Cranium after a bad motorcycle wreck?

@firtaid: That’s high-hoofing…

Team Bull.

@Mike Byhoff: I think it’s fair to say he’ll be drinking his Gazpacho through a straw for awhile.

@SarahHeartburn: Thank you for posting the link.
dancingemma
@anchower: Now now, my comment was not an attack on Spanish people, but on one cultural tradition. Something like 73 areas of Spain have become anti-bullfighting towns or cities since 1989, which gives some indication of the distaste for the ritual in that country.

@misha trotsky: damn straight!

@Mike Byhoff: Ebert would’ve gotten up and impaled the bull in the heart with his cock.
anchower
@howdini: The human body can really take some punishment.
anchower
@MadEye: Is that what he has in his hand? It looks like a dagger of some sorts.
If you ignore the gore, this is a great action shot. I hope the other bulls are high fiving this bull right now, that is if he is still alive.
firtaid
@smugmonkey: Vile Spaniards should learn a little something from decent Americans and keep their slaughtering behind closed doors at the hands of undertrained high-school dropouts.
anchower
@smugmonkey: Even if the bull wins, the bull loses. Since bovines are not world renowned for their smarts and cunning, I for one don’t see the allure.

@Uncle_Billy_Slumming: Too right! His balls for a carrot is hardly a fair swap.
smugmonkey
@SarahHeartburn: “Maybe they’ll bring back the auto-de-fe as well.”
Hey, it would solve the energy crisis. Just think of all the buildings that would heat.
misha trotsky
This wouldn’t have happened if they had rodeo clowns.
BItterKitten
@howdini: That was an accident. The matador was asking for it.
ladyofargonne
@SixThirty: And…from the matador’s perspective: I wonder if it took him a few seconds to figure it out.
Also: What it tasted like.
Myrna_Minkoff
So the bull got to go free? I mean he fucked up the matador pretty bad so he won right?
Travis Gohr
I wouldn’t be surprised if some of us have ridden a $5 footlong. But the underground train isn’t capitalized, is it? (In either sense of the word.)
anchower
@SixThirty: I lol’d, I admit it.
Myrna_Minkoff
@Myrna_Minkoff: Parallel lives, my friend.
I just imagine the bull going back to the barn and the other bulls saying “Uh, Manuel… you’ve got something on your… no, other side. Higher. No, no, further right. Yes! you got it!.”
SixThirty
@TheExperience: That photographer is winning a metric shit-ton of awards with this thing.
Myrna_Minkoff
@SixThirty: That was my first thought too.
Well…my first thought after: “Ohmyfuckin–whatthehell–jesuschrist….ugh!!”
Myrna_Minkoff
@phlox?: ha!

If only we still had the Buffalo.

This is fucked. Look at the blood all over this bull and the “banderillas” harpoons he uses to weaken the bull before he drives a sword into it for the final blow. And we’re supposed to have sympathy for the dude?
MadEye
@smugmonkey:
This is like the horse lady I knew who rescued an old racehorse, and then cut his balls off. When she came around to bond, with carrots, after the procedure, he kicked hard in the stomach and put her in the hospital for months.

I was glad I didn’t have breakfast when I picked up the paper at the door this morning…I am shocked they printed it. Maybe not so…it’s the Post after all.

@angaza: Heh. Dunno how I forgot about that one.

Cataluña has banned bullfighting. It’s considered a relic of the Franco days by a lot of people in Spain .

Unfortunately, the right wing Partido Popular rules here in Madrid, and they’re pushing to keep it as part of the “National Heritage”. Maybe they’ll bring back the auto-de-fe as well.

I should feel worse than I do.
