It would be much more fun to throw food at them instead. - Victomas, on 06/17/2009, -2/+5the original tomatita is celebrated in spain, in buñol... this is a simple copy.

- ddigerr, on 06/17/2009, -0/+2Hombre son un montón de Tomate!!
- WELLDOITLIVE, on 06/17/2009, -0/+1Tomatoes.
- cjh24, on 06/17/2009, -2/+3Why don't you offer to pay the shipping and handling to get the tomatoes there, to China?
- Samek, on 06/17/2009, -1/+2The best festival in Colombia is on New Year's Eve. All December in Colombia it is a constant partying and it extends well over two weeks in January.
In New Year's Eve, there is a big carnival where all the communities of a city create stuffed dolls (stuffed with ALL SORTS FIREWORKS) with important social/political figures; mostly the ones we want to forget about. The best stuff dolls in some cities are giving awards but no one really cares about that.
During the carnival, it is all a big water balloon/eggs/baking powder fight between the people in the carnival and the people watching. No one is safe! If you don't have a good sense of humor in Colombia then you're *****! At midnight, the dolls are set on fire and the fireworks, drinking, dancing, BBQ easily go over a week. All these is done by communities as oppose to just a family or so.
This is a true Colombian festival in the sense that goes on all over the country. Not just a town no one ever heard off. - S4X0, on 06/17/2009, -0/+1I've been coming to digg for over a year now, today, I finally created an account so I could digg this story for being Colombia-related and not having to do with drugs or violence.
- SweetAmmonia66, on 06/17/2009, -0/+1I went to La Tomatina a few years back in Buñol, Spain. It took me over a week to get the smell of tomatoes out of my hair.
- raza7370, on 06/17/2009, -0/+1doing it.....this is a simple copy.
- WELLDOITLIVE, on 06/17/2009, -0/+1Why you comment on digg? Wasting tubes!
- jwolcott, on 06/17/2009, -0/+1Victomas is correct: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tomatina
- inactive, on 07/13/2009, -0/+1and that's how you make tomato sauce with meat balls in it...
ewww!!! http://www.capitalexhibits.com/popup.htm - drastik21, on 06/17/2009, -0/+1I'd like to see the Tide pen clean up that smudge.
- SKUMtm, on 06/17/2009, -1/+1stuffed with petrol and a rag.
- skipvt, on 06/17/2009, -1/+1And the rivers ran red with the tomatoes of my enemy...
- nathan94, on 06/17/2009, -0/+0Er that little lad does not look like he's happy, well any way it's nice to see The Telegraph do something other than MP's expenses.
- antime1, on 06/17/2009, -2/+2I'm actually going to this in August. However not this Colombian one but the original in Spain. It is going to be awesome.
- boomybx, on 06/17/2009, -1/+1I'm throwing Heinz Ketchup bottles. Far more effective.
- bibendum, on 06/17/2009, -0/+0Sutamarchan is on the way to Villa de Leyva and they have really good sausages. Who says no one has ever heard of it? :-p
- noisician, on 06/17/2009, -1/+1image 3, on the right of the central figure
image 6, there are at least two females to the right of the central figure (and elsewhere)
image 8, at least 2 females (wearing semi-short pants)
image 10, almost the same shot as #8
image 11, female at far left of pic
but yeah, there were mostly guys - KtoheE, on 06/17/2009, -1/+1They do it in Spain because the tomato is a big part of the mediterranean diet and sometimes they have an overproduction of it.
I guess since its Colombia they should have a ...Cocatina? - SKUMtm, on 06/17/2009, -1/+0Or allergic to tomatoes.
- intrepidia, on 06/17/2009, -1/+0That's one of the tamer colombian festivals... Lets see if you want to participate in this one.... Festival del Burro’
http://www.prosebeforehos.com/video-of-the-day/05/ ... - 23cranberries, on 06/17/2009, -4/+1What a waste.
- Lendon2020, on 06/17/2009, -4/+1What a waste indeed when there are starving people all over the world.
- Sres, on 06/17/2009, -3/+0Because it's fun. Much like in the UK we don't eat veal, but the animals still get killed within hours of birth, economically not viable to move them, so why not just jump around in it. As Phearce says, lighten up.
- Type1, on 06/17/2009, -6/+2I saw no chicks!?
- jakyastik, on 06/17/2009, -10/+4Huh, Don't know why people do this. Even as we evolve as a world community, we have differences. We are back. And those tomatoes, they will starve for them one day. May God bless them.
- sampath3, on 06/17/2009, -8/+1why people do this ? wasting food!
