Few things in the world are more manly than running with the bulls. Literally running away from giant, pissed off, horned bovines, that is. Not figuratively. Your boldest boardroom escapades are really not all that manly, actually. Sorry.
And few things are less American. In the United States, the only thing that would prevent running with the bulls from resulting in numerous immediate, concurrent class action lawsuits is the fact that Americans are far too sensible and wimpy to actually participate in such a damn fool spectacle.
I recommend running with the bulls at least once in your life, especially if you’re a thrill seeker or have a high pain tolerance. Actually…exactly once. You’ll also want to make sure that somebody videotapes you so that you can prove to people later that you actually did it. Running with the bulls is the kind of thing that’s reasonably cool on its own, but improves dramatically in the retelling.
It is also important that you videotape your experience in case you end up getting gored. If you’re going to earn yourself an auxiliary orifice, there’s no sense in being the only one to see it. Millions of folks who lack the courage/stupidity to follow in your unfortunate footsteps will undoubtedly want an opportunity to laugh at you on YouTube.

That might possibly be one of the most disturbing photos of all time…
