Donkey show
A donkey show is a semi-fictional form of sex-tourism entertainment in Tijuana, Mexico involving bestiality with a donkey.[1][2][3]
Taxi drivers in Tijuana, Mexico offer tourists a ride to see a donkey show in the red light district.[3][4] The shows are difficult to verify and may be urban legends, but anecdotal accounts are frequent.[5][6] Author Jim Dawson writes: "No doubt there are clandestine clubs that have put these sordid floorshows on display, but if every man who claims he actually saw one is telling the truth, there must be a lot of bowlegged women hobbling around Tijuana."[2]
More recently the term has been used to describe a situation that has become a "complete mess".[7]
History
An early fictional account appeared in the 1984 film Bachelor Party with Tom Hanks. It had a quaalude-popping, cocaine-snorting donkey at the bachelor party ready to perform a donkey show, who dies of a drug overdose. The next appearance is in the 2005 book The Godfather Returns written by Mark Winegardner. In the story Fredo Corleone's wife Deanna Dunn insists they attend one. The passage reads: "on a whim, they'd headed to Mexico. When they'd gotten there, Deanna Dunn, insisted on going to see a donkey show. ... who thought that watching a donkey fuck a teenage Indian girl was a hoot."[8] In the 2006 film Clerks II the character Randal Graves sets up a surprise going away party for Dante Hicks at Mooby's where he hires "Kinky Kelly and the Sexy Stud". The reviewer Joel Siegel wrote that he was revolted by the scene in which the donkey show is discussed and walked out.[9] He said: "It was so foul and mean and repulsive. I finally realized I could not say anything positive ... I wasn't ready for this kind of smut ... I hope [director Kevin Smith] doesn't make any more movies."[10]

I can't fault Mr. Siegel for feeling 'revolted' (his producer's description of Joel's reaction) by our flick; in truth, there is a donkey show in it, and I recognize that brand of whimsy might not be for everybody. Film appreciation is very subjective, and maybe Joel just isn't into ass-to-mouth conversations.
