Morning Tweet: Featuring the awesomeness that is topless bull riding

We take you now to the hamlet of Mattoon, IL, where apparently there are other activities besides trainspotting and competitive corn detasseling. The owner of the Villa-Nova Bar & Grill has been fined for hosting topless bull riding at his establishment. This would be legendary if it involved actual bulls, but no, they were of the mechanical variety. Still, pretty great. From the WICD-5 TV:

Some media outlets reported that he was arrested, but on Thursday, we spoke with manager Kevin Parrott who said, that's not the case. Parrott said he was only slapped with the fine, he was not arrested.
He was accused of letting women expose themselves during a bull riding event. He and the owner declined an on-camera interview, advised by their lawyer, but they maintain that both the men and women were not naked in the bar. Parrott said that some of the people did take their shirts off, but he stressed that the women were not nude.

Hope that clears things up.
