No bulls were injured they say. I say: BULL. Not looking forward to the resin stew they will be serving afterwards either....

The cost / benefit calculations for these type of things never crossed the feasibility threshold for me.
"It did not really matter what we expected from life, but rather what life expected from us. We needed to stop asking about the meaning of life, and instead to think of ourselves as those who were being questioned by life – daily and hourly. Our answer must consist not in talk and meditation, but in right action and in right conduct. Life ultimately means taking the responsibility to find the right answer to its problems and to fulfill the tasks which it constantly sets for each individual." Viktor Frankl, Man's Search for Meaning, 1946.

Running of the bulldogs is a lot safer.

Cost/benefit, lol, good one.
If that was an actual practiced standard, how many businesses would fail? Start with payday lenders, move over to strip clubs, it goes on and on....I would venture to say less than 10 percent of the general population weighs the cost of anything against the benefit of it. Ummm...shiny!

Who wants to bet that the first iteration of this meme at the ad agency wasn't "the running of the pit bulls?" Or that the idea wasn't shelved for political correctness?

"Bulldogs" is objectively funnier than "Pitbulls" because the joke lands on the first syllable rather than the second. Yes I work in Advertising. (even pitched Geico a couple of times).
Those big guys should be used for Police K9 work... They don't mess around by golly. They could kick some bad guy ass 10 times over.

Is it wrong that I was rooting for the bull?

Growing up around cows. Having been chased several times by them. You're a F'ing idiot to square off against one. The power & weight of these animals are off the chart.
My grand dad had this red Brahma Bull that as sunset looked EXACTLY like satan him self. Big Scary Bastard.
EDIT: I take it back. A quick google fu I think it was a "Red Devon Bull". His horns crew downward and framed his face. This bastage was scary!

Hell no!
Legend has it Hemingway actually got into a terrific fight at a Spanish bull ring because he rooted for the bull.
If Papa Hemingway did it, it is, by definition, as cool as if Steve McQueen did it.
