A perfect christmas present

I'm a big fan of doing my christmas shopping at Spanish 100 peseta stores. You can buy stuff you never knew existed before. I love finding Kitch presents. Last year I surpassed myself by finding a mechanical singing dancing Saddam Hussain doll.
This year I couldn't resist this choice item. Perfect for any spanish kid!!

The box itself is a beautiful mix of chinese Espangleesh but the mechanical bull is fantastic.

The bull is operated by batteries (that fit under its anatomically correct testicles). A shout is enough to get his eyes to light up, his head goes down and he charges forward....meanwhile an awful pasa doble is playing from a speaker in the body.
I have never seen or heard anything like it. Seasons greetings everyone. XXX

P.S. - Before all hell breaks loose again, I am not advocating bullfighting.....just enjoying the novelty of this tasteless item!!

This is brilliant, congrats Pimiento!
I especially like the safety horns.

What, and you call yourself a flamenco?!

But seriously, for people who want to quit bullfighting, this battery operated bull ("with Spanish song") could be just the thing to wean them off it.
