#2 From what I've heard, the running of the bulls is a lot like Mardi Gras these days. Originally, it had cultural significance for the local participants. But now, it's just an attractor for a bunch of asshats from elsewhere to have a party and show off how cool they are.

#5 When you run down a cobblestone street, chased by a hoard of bulls who have been tormented to insanity, there are obvious ramifications. I don't see how you could make this totally safe, next thing you know, Spain will make a law that you have to wear a helmet or something. Wouldn't that be something to see. I tend to forget, from time to time, that spain is smack dab in the middle of Europe .

#9 National Jersies! Pamplona needs to revert to the old FIA color classification system! Shit this would be huge!

British Racing Green = Hummmm.... UK participants
White = German participants
Red = Scuderia Italia
Blue & White = US fools
Orange = Netherlands
Yello = France (really as I recall the old system)
Espana = Yello & Red (home team allowed sonsor jersies)
