FunnyDoom - About 750 activists undressed in underwear in Mexico City in protest against bullfights. Protesters demanding a ban to bullfighting in Mexico. They noted the authorities because the fighting bulls is legal in Mexico and because it used public money for special schools for training of matadors and museums dedicated to the sport. Bullfights however, are considered a popular sport in Mexico, and the number of fights in this country is second in the world, behind Spain.
Is it just me or do Mexicans have a really messed up value system? People are being offed, beheaded, shanked, shot, hung and mutilated at alarming rates in Tijuana and other cities across Mexico. Are people staging mass protests to end the violence, nope.
I even saw one article (in Time Magazine I think, but honestly I'm too tired to look right now) where a Mexican cab driver didn't understand why American tourists stopped coming, his logic was the drug lords only attack other Mexicans not American Tourists. OH! Good to know!
Maybe it's just the xenophobia (fancy, negative word for Patriotism) in me but if the people of my country were being slaughtered in public in humiliating ways at a genocidal pace I'd like to think I'd choose to protest that, over the killing of a few bulls that would have been killed for Taco night anyway. But maybe that makes too much sense?
