SUMMER MADNESS

What is a person to do in the summer? In the eastern Spanish town of Buñol, there is an answer: FOOD FIGHT!

Yesterday, Wednesday, the event for all the food fighters of the world, the battle known as the Tomatina -- with "more than 45,000 visitors from all over the world " clashing, hurling "more than 100 tons of tomatoes at one another for about an hour," the annual, friendly bout of summer madness! See the video.

Pilar Garrigues, the councilwoman in charge of 'fiestas”, said "This year’s event transpired without any serious incidents and the municipal services only had to treat about a dozen people for fainting and slight eye irritations."

This mother of all tomato fights began in 1945 and has grown into a summer spectacle. And my goodness, if no body gets hurt, it is a fine way to get off a little aggression, to get back to our pre-historic roots, and to just fight. Well, it looks like it's more fun than football.

Food fight!
