Spain Goes Boom

Explosions? What red-blooded male doesn't love 'em? Gents, this is one explosion that you can use to show your sensitive side; it's an explosion that is even supported by Greenpeace. How's that for touchy-feely?

A hotel project at El Algarrobico beach, near Carboneras in the southeastern region of Spain was half-completed. However, Greenpeace, among others, protested the construction, claiming that it was adding to further destruction of the Spanish coastline.

The regional Spanish government is paying about $2.5 million dollars to buy the hotel back from developers in order to have it destroyed. Greenpeace had seized upon the complex, which would have included a gold course and 1,500 apartments, as a symbol for overdevelopment in the region.

See, if Greenpeace spent more time appealing to the Maxim contingent while pursuing their agenda, they would get a lot more done.
