Muriel vs Jean-Claude

Ummm. A woman whose name I didn't catch (ah, it's Muriel Venair(?)) is on the BBC (radio) complaining that TVE won't broadcast bullfights live. Among her complaints is the standard "it's an art" and "it's part of Spanish culture" and "you can change the channel", all more or less valid. But then she comes up with a new one: that Jean-Claude van Damm is complaining that bullfighting is cruel and bloody when he makes horribly bloody and violent movies, so he's a hypocrite.

Um... Muriel? Those are movies. Nobody actually gets hurt. It's make believe. Bull fighting is real. Bulls are killed, after being tormented, and possibly after killing horses and maybe even crippling or killing people, and it's actual.

Muriel honey, there is a difference.
