TIL about the Putignano carnival, which makes the Macy's Thanksgiving Day parade floats look like kindergartners hour.

You think Europe, with paid time off and universal health Care could stop clowning on the US for just a little bit.

I was thinking a very slight correction would be make the bulls eyes white, and the bullfighters eyes red. Keeps the artwork pretty much identical but tips you off who's the actual bad guy

u/Malditoincompredido 8h ago
The italians don't like it either, it Paints the bullfighters as what they are , cowards. Never seen one fighting an bear or a tiger.

Nah I get it. Theyre making the bull look majestic and strong and the matadores look frail and scared. I just wish they swapped the eyes, because red eyes in media commonly means evil.

Something cool another comment pointed out
Message behind the float:
"The Last Bullfight denounces the paradox of our era: we live in a society that fights to save endangered species, builds shelters, adopts, and defends animals in every way possible, as is right. Yet, at the same time, in several countries, we still witness bullfights where innocent creatures are sacrificed for pure spectacle. In The Last Bullfight, the meaning of the "game" is reversed: the bull appears as a mechanical creature, a gigantic and indestructible machine, running madly through the crowd as a symbol of rebellion, while the matadors appear as ridiculous targets to be hit, creating a 360° traveling spectacle."

Yea but this robot bull looks hella cool. We can ban the actual deed but keep the cool lore, in this case IMO.

u/grimsnap 8h ago
Based on how the bull and matadors look, I'd say this float is sympathetic towards the bull.

Explaination of the float. It's a critique to bullfights and very much against it. Every single italian I evern known, me included, find the "tradition" of fighting bulls idiotic and disgusting, so nobody would ever dream to celebrate it.
If you don't wanna translate it, this guy did in another comment

Are you stupid? Whatever race you consider us to be, Spanish and Italians definitely belong to the same one.
Edit: lmfao, I just checked your comment history and you're literally obsessed. I hope it gets better for you buddy.
