Truth in advertising

[anarky]

Just saw a commercial. An American man and woman are walking through a row of mansions in another country. As they pass a huge mansion, a Spanish-looking woman looks out and invites them in. They go in, and there's a wedding reception or some other sort of huge party going on. Then the tagline: "Only in Mexico do you become part of the celebration."

Why don't they make these honest?

They should show the man and woman walking through a row of cardboard boxes, and they get invited into a party, and they're trying to kill a pigeon to feed the whole family, and then the kid whose birthday it is begs to be taken out of the poverty.

Obviously they wern't in Tiajuana. I hear there are some really nice parts of Mexico. Not many, but still...

And if you find yourself in a strip club in Tiajuana, remember that women don't have adam's apples.

I've never been to TJ, though I've lived within a few hours for almost a decade. Everyone says, "You gotta go to TJ." Why?So I can see abject poverty, and possibly haggle with some destitute kids selling chiclets so that I get gum for less than they paid for it? What is the appeal?

Basically, I think it is a place for people under 21 from San Diego State and the Navy bases in San Diego to go to drink legally. We went when I was stationed out there because of the drinking age, drinks were cheap, and a little shopping. Most of us were under 21 and I was the DD. I've heard TJ has gotten worse since the last time I was there (which was about 13 years ago) and it wasn't that great in the first place.

I didn't see the donkey show while I was there, but I did see the alleged donkey on the street. He had stripes like a zebra. They were probably fake. (Fake stripes, not a fake donkey.)

yeah, to make it in that industry donkeys have to go in for enhancements. fake stripes, ear implants to make them more "perky", and dental bonding put undue stress on these donkeys that lead to eating disorders, rampant drug use and the like. it's a travesty.

A TIAJUANA PERKY DONKEY
IS A SEX ACT.
I JUST DECIDED.

THE DEFINITION OF IT I LEAVE UP TO YOU FINE GENTLEMEN.
