It may not be fair or tactful to use Barbaro's name but hes been getting more attention than any other single story in horse racing since Butterface broke her maiden.

The article was so bad because it was poorly written and some of the facts were distorted or completely not true as prudery and myself pointed out. You can't have a good argumentative article with the facts not being dead on. In this case, some of his facts were way off. The whole point is that he could have written the article a lot better than he did. He could have done it correctly, and still stirred people's emotions. The fact is that he did it very poorly. While some of the things he wrote were true and needed to be addressed, others were completely the opposite. In my opinion, for an article to be considered a good read, the facts have to be 100% true. This article shows that the writer let his own emotions get too much in the way of his writing.

Ok, so the Jacksons are going to send Barbaro to the slaughterhouse to become a sandwich. Yep, that is completely true.
