...finest of negative stories—the most beloved kind. We had a man with a twisted fetish for watching poor, defenseless dogs rip each other apart; and if they didn’t try hard enough to please him, he’d ruthlessly slaughter them in ways only fit for a Hostel movie. Add in a dash of rich, spoiled athlete and a sinister sneer and face to match, and you had a recipe for quite a firestorm...

And it will call for a budget of $580 million for the 2008-2009 season to reimburse farmers to "grub up," or rip out, 400,000 acres of vines - 6% of the total in the E.U. - that contribute to the surplus...
