ABC was way too graphic with "running with the bulls"
Edited on Fri Jul-13-07 06:42 AM by freeplessinseattle
I am just so sick to my stomach right now, can't sleep tonight and now I'm afraid to try to becuase I know I'll have bad dreams. ABC just subjected me to the most damnedest graphic image I have ever seen, I can't believe they just showed a man getting gored in the stomach, no blurring of the image at all, or warning, before I knew it I'm seeing a a man getting killed (most likely)in a horribly bloody graphic way. my god, I can't even handle fake blood and gore, as much as I enjoy watching the tv detective shows and ER even those fake scenes give me a sick feeling and I avert my head if I can in time.

This time I had no warning, suddenly a man's stomach is clearly shown being gored by a bull, bursting blood all over the place, so much blood, I was in shock for a moemnt but turned my head jsut ebfore they showed a man's chest exploding blood all over. then amazingly these sick fucks repeated it, but this time I knew what was coming and managed to turn away. Isn't this too graphic to show on network tv? if a nipple is so disturbing then surely bloody death must be? I hate being so sensitive, but now I'm stuck with these unwanted images and nausea. I'm going to find some pleasant images to try to subdue both but can only hope I don't have nightmares, I don't know how to prevent them. get rid of my tv I guess, would be a start. thanks freaky ABC morning news team.

2. not even the coffins-that would be....
what's the word? unpatriotic? emotion and reality might cause people to really want to support teh troops.

isn't it a crazy messed up world?

3. Let 'em know.
Seriously,that is messed up,and I'm one those ones who can watch the bloodiest of horror movies.At least I know I'm going to see something gory ahead of time.

At the least they should have given a heads up.At best they shouldn't have shown it all.

4. They have bullfights on TVs in restaurants in Spain
At least they did when I was on holiday there. Watching a bull bleed to death is not exactly my idea of family viewing
