Donkey Shows

Today I am talking about the infamous “donkey show”. I never heard about “donkey shows” until I started to talk with ‘gringos’ on the regular bases, and they told me that in Mexico “donkey shows” are very popular. I live in Mexico, I’d live in Mexico all my life, and I have never heard, seen or meet another Mexican that has been around or near a “donkey show”, but ‘gringos’ are sure they exist.

I’ve been asking around what a “donkey show” is exactly, most of the 'gringos' don’t know or don’t want to tell me, one person told me it’s suppose to be a donkey doing a woman, I think that is impossible, I mean, possible, but the woman would die.

It’s weird how this myth got to be what it is, always some reality creates myths, myths always have a piece of reality, but I can’t find what created this myth. There’s have to be something that made a ‘gringo’ think…”man, that donkey is doing that girl, and there’s a lot of people watching it like it was a show” But I still can’t figure out what did a rational person believe that.

I want proof these shows have ever taken place, maybe it’s a old show that is no longer done, at least I need first hand narration or description of “donkey show”, I always hear how “my friend was at a ‘donkey show’” and I can’t take that as a fact. Either I don’t know nothing about Mexico, or ‘gringos’ have a very good imagination.
