Last night, PETA's Lisa Lange made an appearance on The O'Reilly Factor to talk about the "racy" alternative to Pamplona's hideous Running of the Bulls. The story brought tons of new people to the Running of the Nudes website last night to see what all the fuss was about, just in time to see all the amazing new pictures that’ve been put up there.
You can click the image above to check out the updated site, and if you let me know what you think of the new pics, or of the Running of the Nudes concept in general, I'll pick one commenter to win one of the highly coveted Running of the Nudes novelty pens, starring a naked (depending on which way up you hold the pen) Annamarie Lytle.
Just as an FYI, while all comments are welcome, if you leave a rant about Running of the Nudes being a shameful display of skin that's corrupting our nation's youth, I will assume that means you don't want a nudie pen.
P.S. I just got word from those laugh-a-minute party animals up in our Legal Department that if you want to be entered to win the pen it means you’re down with our terms and conditions.

I saw the video of these charming runners - and they were many! In our times about 20 years ago we were few and not so naked and sexy. But times are changing in favor of the bulls! Let's hope that it shall be the present generation to celebrate the international abolition of bullfighting!

I think the running of the nudes is not only hilarious but makes its point very well because it publicizes the cruelty of the bullfight "culture." A friend who is my age was a bit shocked, I think, but if I were 21 and gorgeous, I'd be there in a New York minute!

I was so happy to see the PETA interview on a major US television show getting the word out about bullfighting. It's blatantly disgusting and evil and even O'Reilly was able to agree. Then O'Reilly hits her with "fish don't feel pain", which was LAUGHABLE! I mean who is the numbskull who thought that little gem up? A nervous system is designed to transmit sensory impulses such as pain and fish have nervous systems, so duh! This is why fish flee predators. Anyway progress is being made because claims such as "fish don't feel pain", and "mercury in small amounts is fine" (LOL!) are the last straws for animal eaters to hang on to. There was a time when you couldn't even get someone like O'Reilly to agree that stabbing bulls for entertainment is wrong and must be stopped. So yes, I see progress! Pretty soon they will understand that eating animals is cruelty merely done for "mouth entertainment".
If this event was in the US, I could go, but the trip over to Spain is costly. It's great seeing European animal lovers in action though. I foresee this event getting bigger and bigger.

Fabulous people--the guys and girls are all cutie pies. Cedric has the nicest smile ever!! Running of the nudes is cool, though, because the men and women are all equally united in trying to get attention for a good cause. It's not like they are using their bodies to try to sell us crap like alcohol or chicken wings (Hooters). If I were younger and in Europe, I would be there!!

Another reason why I need to move to Europe and an excellent cause for truth, justice, and the Spanish and PETA way. Of course I wonder whether humans are more brutal to other humans than they are to animals. Either way it's very sad. All life deserves a chance to live a decent and fair life. Life is hard enough as it is already. Thanks for spreading some beauty (beauties?)in the world instead of the ugliness that most thrive on with the bull run. I would more likely spend my money to go to THIS event than the stupid bull run. I could go to Washington if I wanted to see the Bull run.
