While I have trouble mustering sympathy for professional animal torturers, not really funny.

Not implying it was funny, rather than what goes around comes around and that Karma happens.

Laughing at the misfortune of others is a time-honored human tradition. Especially when that other is doing something intensely stupid.

The only difference between the two is the taste.

How many people would even think about it if there weren't (a) two and (b) labeled?

The funny part is it's probably the dog's bed :^D

Not quite following the karma idea.

You implying bull fighters who wear a cape are somehow deserving of misfortune because of some faux-pas? Capes are highly traditional in the art of that dance o' death. Wearing a cape is only adding slightly more danger to an already dangerous situation. I don't think they care enough to eschew tradition. lol

Or, wait, I think I get it now: karma because bullfighting is the worst thing in the world? lol
Clearly that bull was enjoying himself

People getting hurt in the gladiators ring is something we should have eliminated hundreds of years ago... but if you sign up to fuck with deadly animals... here's the ethics question that explains the situation - what makes the dead matador different from Steve Irwin?

I was looking at the comments, and came across this...

at first i thought he was going to be doing something truly impressive, but i just couldn't find him

nope, there he is on the bunny slope, pfft

Not really funny, but I found this interesting picture on shorpy.com

Date estimate is wide at 1873-1916. I'd place it ~1905. You don't often see (quasi)homosexual pictures from that era that aren't explicitly erotica.

I don't remember the exact circumstances but wasn't Irwin also tempting fate? I think in both cases people get lulled into a false sense of confidence. They think that just because they've managed to beat the odds x number of times before, that inevitably means they'll beat them the next time too. Well surrrr-prrrrisssseee. Fate also plays the odds.

The problem is base-rate neglect and a competence trap. Because we don't experience bad luck we start to attribute our good luck to competence - and the more competent we feel the less we pay attention to the base-rate of bad luck.

But in a way, both were paid to take these risks - to put their lives on the line for our entertainment. So in terms of what they did, the matador is a shit-head and Irwin was an educator - in terms of social-causes... well they died for our entertainment.

 

[Charmonium]

I like that analysis. Competence trap. Yeah, you pretty much have to constantly remind yourself all of the time of all of the shit that can go wrong that somehow magically doesn't. Of course it's not really magic but fear. At first you're so afraid that you check, double check and triple check. You mentally prepare for whatever could happen. Then when the "crazy" shit doesn't happen, you forget about it - until it sneaks up behind you to bite you in the ass - or maul you to death, as the case may be.

LOL! I wear socks with my sandals, but they are not the crew type. But since it's been such a social disgrace I have been wearing no socks at all and so I suffer with the sweating feet and my bad toe nail view anyways. Damn society. *shakes fist*

What's the point of wearing socks with sandals? The whole point of sandals is because it's warm... why are you wearing socks when it's warm?
