Donkey show

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
A bar in Boy's Town, Nuevo Laredo, Mexico advertising a nightly "donkey's show"

A donkey show is a type of live sex show in which a woman engages in bestiality with a donkey,[1][2] which, according to urban legend and some works of fiction, were once performed in the Mexican border city of Tijuana, particularly in the mid-20th century.

Gustavo Arellano, in his Ask a Mexican column, argues that such donkey shows are not real.[3]

As late as 2008, they have been mentioned as a reason to visit Tijuana, and naive tourists may seek them out.[4]

In 2005, the term is claimed to be used to describe a situation that has become a "complete mess", for example the government and the news media outlets.[5]
