I was flipping channels again, and I came across the Outdoor Life Network. They were showing coverage of the Running of the Bulls in Pamplona, Spain. Now, I'm pretty sure we'd all agree this is a fairly stupid event to partake in to begin with, but OLN was covering the event as if it were some kind of sporting event, with play-by-play and color commentators. This struck me as quite odd, naturally. This is not an event that requires the services of TV commentators. Now, I don't know just how long this event lasts, but it seems to take a while as all the various news programs show the annual(?) clips of drunk people getting gored. I noticed a little graphic in the corner claiming that coverage continues tomorrow at so-and-so time. OK, covering the event is one thing, but continuing coverage?! o_O
