Ah, bullfighting! A brilliant display of...well...to what lengths people will use "tradition" as an excuse for committing acts of cruelty (above) and/or idiocy (the running of the bulls). But at least in the case of my pink sock-wearing friend here, it looks like reproduction may not be in the immediate future.

"Honey! What socks should I wear for my bullfight today?"
"Oh, I don't know, sweetie! Go with the pink! They make your 'stache look all fluffy!"

Fortunately, 90% of young people hate bullfighting ^_^. I'm sure it'll disappear.

Good to hear, and thank you for the additional detail.

In fairness, I still have to lend my little voice to fighting a seal hunt here for the next few years so don't take my comments as a shot to the entire country.

Only 10% of it. ;-)
