Donkey show
From Zoophilia Wiki
A donkey show is an alleged type of sexual performance most often associated with Tijuana, Mexico, in which a local woman engages in zoophilia with a donkey.[1][2]
Local taxi drivers offer tourists a ride to see a donkey show in the red light district.[3] The shows are difficult to verify and may be urban legends, but anecdotal accounts are frequent.[4][5] 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]
The "donkey show" myth is deeply embedded in US popular culture, and it is occasionally given as a reason to visit Tijuana. From time to time one may come across naive tourists going up and down La Coahuila street, unsuccessfully trying to find the show.[6]
More recently the term has been used to describe a situation that has become a "complete mess."[7]
