Bunol, Spain just called and said, "Run out of original ideas, Seattle?"

So, um, they took the Tomatina and turned it into a big commercial event? Sponsored by ROCKSTAR! ROCKSTAR DUDE!

I think I'll take my $60 and put it in my "Actually Go to Spain" fund.

So which energy drink will sponsor a knock-off of Ivrea's batlle of the oranges? I wonder if any of the participants have ever actually been to Spain?

They could've used all those tomatoes to make salads, mmm tomato salads... what a waste, sigh. Then again it's another example of how the rich spend their time, $60 is a lot.

Next year, the running of the bulls down Pike - or is it Pine? Enter to run with them and find out, online through Stranger Tickets - only $55 plus a small handling fee, so a real bargain. Brought to you by VitaminWater and the Sorrento Hotel. Instant levamisole testing available just beforehand.

Bwahahaha! Do I need insurance with the $55 dollars to run with the bulls?

Nothing like a huge waste of food to symbolize the screwed up values of hipsters. Its just gross. 1 in 6 Americans in poverty. People lined up at food banks. Bummer Event.

Looked fun, but way too expensive.

Also, stop drinking [supports the family of Michael Savage] Rockstar energy, morons. Monster's more than fine.

The Rockstar was actually just cans of plain water Rockstar had labeled, yes they were a sponsor. Most attendees only paid $25-30 to get in, and that included a free beer. You set the price at $60, and the 50% Groupon/Living Social makes it a "normal" price. Also, the tomatoes were rotten grocery store throw outs. Trust me, they STUNK!
