Yes, the bulls think it's hilarious.

If the advert showed Ash plunging a sword into the bull's spinal chord then I might agree. I think that bull fighting is a pretty appalling spectacle and I'm pleased that the Catalans are banning it, but the use of the bull here is merely a bit of 'Spanish' imagery. Nothing offensive, nothing violent, just imagery albeit somewhat predictable.

If they had used a piece of chorizo sausage instead then I suspect all of the vegans would take the opportunity to be outraged. In a country where we have an astronomical financial debt, our civil liberties have been eroded in recent years, the gap between rich and poor is the most for generations and that is heading for an energy crisis, you chose to be offended by a photograph of a bull! If you want to look for problems, why don't you at least make them worthwhile ones?

They're just dumb animals. I hadn't thought anything about it but certainly not offended by it.

Just had a quick look to see what all the hullaballoo was all about.

I can't believe that people find the image offensive but then I guess its a case of different strokes for different folks.

All advertising is obnoxious and offensive to me. But it does show what a pathetic rabble a lot of the Western world is.

However, I love the TV series "Mad Men".

I find Emile Heskey offensive even without a bull.

We should just have photos of Christina Hendricks' tits on our shirts. It'd take our minds off the football.

I know what you're going to do now.

This is the world's greatest coincidence ever (well, it isn't, because you alerted me of the availability of said shirts) but I too am currently wearing a t-shirt with the figure of a red headed office manager on it.

Dont worry about it, the Valencia website is promoting the game with images of fox hunting.

I guess it is a bit politically incorrect. How about changing it to maybe a picture of Andrew Sachs as Manuel the waiter?

Is it just me being a bleeding heart liberal or is anyone else slightly offended by the advert on the front page of Pravda with Ashley Young facing down a bull in a bullring? For a club that gave our shirts to sick kids for two years it's a bit of a contrast...


I'm sure you're not the only scented wet wipe.
