Mechanical bull riding is torture, insists attention-seeking blogger
June 3, 2009 by William K. Wolfrum
I’d heard about the “mechanical bull riding torture” controversy, and laughed off any suggestion that it was torture. So when I was challenged to ride a mechanical bull*, I was excited to show that their case was bull …
… Torture. Absolutely. I had ridden a mechanical bull as a child and this was far worse than that. It’s torture. That’s really all I can say.
*Taken in Belo Horizonte. The bride in the video is my sister-in-law Laura Arantes. The video was shot by independent filmmaker Emilia Arantes Wolfrum.

That was hilarious. What fancy boots you have.
Are you sure this wasn’t just a hoax, like that madcow in the morning guy? He should be stripped of his cow moniker.
I’d like to try that sometime. I have tried to wrestle a baby cow at the Calgary Stampede when I was a kid. 30 kids with lassos in a ring with 30 calves and the winner was supposed to drag the calf across the finish line. The guy who won was actually dragged across by the calf.
I love the fact that you were doin’ just fine ’til the independent filmmaker yelled “Hang on for America!” — at which point you were on yer arse in less time than it takes for a teardrop to run down Glenn Beck’s cheek.
Typical liberal.
What hugh said.
Also, you’re a brave man, Bill, to post that.
AWESOME! That’s it! I’m moving in with you guys. (Can you get me a shirt like that?)
lolz.
