Wanjiang Township, China, October 19, 2008--A man rests between brutal rounds of tomato hurling.

Fifteen tons of tomatoes became ammunition during this Chinese town's "tomato war." The event was inspired by the annual La Tomatina festival in Bunol, Spain, in which thousands of tourists join townsfolk to throw the red fruits.
