Spain's Interior Ministry says a youth was gored to death during a running of bulls at a festival in a small north-central town over the weekend.
Ministry chief for Zamora province Pilar de la Higuera says 19-year-old Ivan Tejero Morales died instantly Saturday after being gored in the chest in the town of Fuentesauco during a pre-dawn bull run held as part of the town's annual festival.
The official said Monday that Tejero Morales was treated by doctors at the scene, but could not be saved.
On Tuesday the famed San Fermin festival begins in the northern city of Pamplona. Each year dozens of people are injured, and last year's festival saw the first goring death in nearly 15 years.

Your collective inability to acknowledge this obvious truth makes you all look like fools.

Who was the first person to say to himself "Hey, I think I'll run like crazy ahead of a charging bull or twelve, through some narrow streets. That sounds like a really good idea."?

I don't know Kristina, but it seems to me that anyone who decides this is a "good" idea, should be encouraged to do so...(preferably before they breed)Who was the first person to say to himself "Hey, I think I'll run like crazy ahead of a charging bull or twelve, through some narrow streets.

Actually, "The Running Of The Bulls" is for pussies....
Now, "The Running Of The Half Starved Bengal Tigers" on the other hand...
Now there's a real man's sport...

After a youth was gored to death during a running of bulls festival this weekend, the Prime Minister of Spain, Bruce (El Bruce / pronounced 'El Bru-say) Alejandro Castillo, called a press conference after hearing the news and declared an end to the annual festival.
Knowing that he would face much criticism and even hostility if he were to completely eliminate the well known and celebrated event, El Bruce said in a speech in front of thousands of Running Bull fans and former participants, "I've got a real neato idea. No more of that icky bull stuff. From thith day forward, we will have a Running Cows Festival. Cows are much more nicer and fun to be around and they make milk too."
According to eye witnesses, as soon as he finished making his declaration, El Bruce was mobbed, beaten and run through a chipper/shredder.
The extent of his injuries is unknown at this time.
Spain is well known for its 'mas macho' men and their affection for running around bulls and waving things at them.
In other news, Generalissimo Francisco Franco is still dead.

Monty Python's The Mens Being-Eaten-By-A-Crocodile Contest from Monty Python's Contractual Obligation Album. 
(Background music: Sportscast intro)
Newscaster: (Eric Idle) And right now it's time for athletics, and over to Brian Goebells in Paris.
Goebells: (Terry Jones) Hello, well you join us here in Paris just a few minutes before the start of today's big event: the final of the Men's-Being-Eaten- By-A-Crocodile event. I'm standing now by the crocodile pit where- AAAAAAHHHHH!
(FX: Crocodiles eating, French exclamations and sirens)
Newscaster 2: (Michael Palin) Ah. Well I'm afraid that we've lost Brian. While they're sorting that out, we have a report from Barry Loothesom in Lughtborrow on the British preparations for this most important event.
Loothesom: (Eric Idle) Here at Lughtborrow are the five young men chosen last week to be eaten by a crocodile for Britain this summer. Obviously, the most important part of the event is the opening 60 yard sprint towards the crocs. And twenty-two year old Nottingham schoolteacher Gavin Watterlow is rated by some not only the fastest but also the tastiest British morsel since Barry Gordon got a bronze at Helsinki. In charge of the team is Sergeant Major Harold Duke.
Duke: (Terry Jones) Aww, well, you not only got to get in that pit first, you gotta get EATEN first. When you land in front of your croc, and 'e opens his mouth, I wanna see you right in there. Rub your 'ead up against 'is taste buds. And when those teeth bite into your flesh, use the purchase to thrust yourself DOWN his throat...
Loothesom: Duke's trained with every British team since 1928, and it's his blend of gymnastic know how, reptilian expertise and culinary skill that's turned many an un-appetizing novice into a crocodilic banquet.
Duke: Well, our chefs have been experimenting for many years to find a sauce most likely to tempt the crocodile. In the past, we've concentrated on a fish based sauce, but this year, we are reverting to a simple bernaise.
Loothesom: The British team are worried because Olympic regulations allow only the competitor's heads to be sauced. Gavin Morolowe...
Morolowe: (Michael Palin) Yes, well, I mean, (clears throat) you know, four years ago, everyone knew the Italians were coating the insides of their legs with bolinaise, the Russians have been marinating themselves, One of the Germans, Biolek, was caught actually putting, uh, remolarde down his shorts. And the Finns were using tomato flavoured running shoes. Uh, I think there should either be unrestricted garnishing, or a single, Olympic standard mayonnaise.
Loothesom: Gavin, does it ever worry you that you're actually going to be chewed up by a bloody, great crocodile.
Morolowe: The only thing that worries me, Jim, is being the first one down that gully.
Loothesom: Well, the way things are going here at Lughtborrow, it looks as though Britan could easily pick up a place in the first seven hundred. But nothing's predictable in this tough, harsh, highly competitive world where today's champion is tomorrow's crocodile shit. And back to you, in the studio, Norman.
