The Prattle of Bull Run
With the Fourth of July and all of its glorious carnivorous abandon gone by, the anti-eating activists at PETA had to act fast to find someone else's good time to spoil.
Animal rights activists - some wearing just underwear or even less - sprinted through Pamplona Wednesday to protest the running of the bulls, two days before this year's edition of Spain's most famous festival gets under way.
...
Some women ran topless or in panties and bras, and most of the men were in their underwear at least. One man was naked except for a makeshift loincloth.
Is it just me, or does PETA play the naked card a little too often? I can understand it when it involves not wearing fur, but what on earth does protesting in your birthday suit have to do with people fleeing from a pack of bulls? I get the impression some of these people are a tad attention-starved (not to mention protein-starved).
In related news, if you heard a loud, self-satisfied thud recently, that was just the sound of PETA landing the most shameless bandwagon jump since "The Real Housewives of Orange County".

I always enjoy these otherwise unreported stories of inane protest antics. Thanks to Flip for continuing to skewer PETA like a responsible BBQ chef would a tender piece of raw mushroom-marinated cattle meat.Posted by: STP | Jul 6, 2006 6:22:37 PM
How do you bring Pamplona to their knees? I don't think the answer would be..."boost their economy". These 1000 PETA protesters have to eat and sleep someplace and I bet its not for free. The town even sells t-shirts now that have "Running of the Nudes" printed on them along with plastic bull horns. I'm not surprised though, look at what happens to the KFC's when PETA protests them, their sales go up for the day. The township of Pamplona has to be laughing (all the way to the bank). An 8 day event has now turned into a 10 day event...all thanks to PETA.Posted by: Richard | Jul 6, 2006 8:28:44 PM
