Default Bullfighter arrested because he has no balls.

The bull charged and matador Christian Hernandez took off — across the ring, over the wall and into controversy.
The admittedly terrified torero was arrested after Sunday's botched bullfight at the Plaza Mexico, apparently for breach of contract, local media reported Monday. He was released after paying a fine.
Too bad, I was cheering for the bull to get him permanently before he jumped over the wall.

Clearly he deserved to lose his life because he decided the situation was one he did not want to be in. I have the same thoughts at work when someone decides they don't want to climb on the outside of the building to wash windows. Normally I cut their rope and push them out to the sidewalk below because I can't have pussies like that working for me. They deserve to be dead.

Oh wait, I think I might have just confused myself with a nut job.

I also cheer for the bull. Bull fighting is barbaric. Bull fighters are pathetic. I loved the end of the video when it showed another fighter getting gored. Sadly that bull will still have been killed even though he officially 'won' his bout. Don't feel sorry for the fighter - he chooses to take part, the bull doesn't.

The bull can't run out of the ring, why should the matador be able to?

What a rediculous 'sport'

Bulls slowly gets cut up until it dies, or bull kills matador, then gets killed.

"There are some things you must be aware of about yourself," the 22-year-old Mexican matador said in a television interview. "I didn't have the ability, I didn't have the balls, this is not my thing."

He's probably one of the most honest people in the world. I love it.

And yes, it is a ridiculous sport and seems pretty cowardly in and of itself. (I hope Hemingway doesn't come back and kill me dead for saying that.)
