Regarding the gore photographs in the newspapers, I never liked them. Neither did anyone else in my family. Always found them distasteful and disrespectful to the victims.

By the way, in my hometown of Ciudad Juárez there's this newspaper called PM that was especially infamous for this. I'm trying to find their website but I'm coming up empty, maybe they're no longer in print.

As a Mexican, I've always thought that modern piñatas in kid's parties are weird. I mean, traditional ones make a lot of sense because of the spikes and what those mean, but this whole idea of buying a piñata of a character the kid likes so everyone beats the hell out of it is so strange! I've seen kids crying because they don't want to beat the piñata at all. Anyway, that's just me. Great video!!

[@MrVoraxTranstellaris]

Last time we went to Mexico we saw piñatas of Trump :-D

Vorax Transtellaris those political piñatas also make sense, but kids cartoons characters piñatas will always be a mystery to me

[@andiw7358]

I've seen kids crying for that too, but in a way it's a good idea because it teaches kids not to get too attached to cartoon characters. Be attached to your family, not imaginary friends or whatever. But it is traumatic. When I see those kids crying I want to cry too.

[@carlosregente3472]

(Mexican here, born, raised and still surviving in CDMX) TL;DR: Violence and sex sell really well. Those newspapers know that, but sex imagery is regulated; violence is not. And there's the result. --> Ok, so, the main problem with graphic newspapers is divided in three: 1. There's no proper regulation for that kind of violent contents in printed media, much less its public exhibition. 2. Unfortunately, there's a lot of people who actually buy those newspapers, not just for the violent imagery, but also for the (very) sexual images they have inside. 3. Ironically (like really, wtf), there's a lot of regulation for sexual content in printed media, so _you'll almost never see sexual contents as easily as graphic violent ones_. // In conclusion, those newspapers know very well that violence and sex sell really well. But they keep the sexual stuff inside, while the violence is on the front page. And for now, most of us have to endure that kind of shit. Fortunately, this may be a bold statement but I do think most Mexicans do not read that kind of contents. A lot of them do, but most don't. EDIT: Forgot to mention the most important thing: I love your videos. Really. You're very good doing this, sir.

[@TrueMexico]

Great comment and thanks! Yes, I spoke with some of the newspaper guys and they said legally they are allowed to put those horrible newspapers on the floor. But not the xxx mags.

[@JoseMVelazquez]

That "genre" of newspapers is called nota roja. Violent crimes, accidents, anything gruesome that appeals to the morbidity of some people. It's been around for over a hundred years and as Carlos said most people don't read it, cause let's be honest... it's literary or journalistic value is almost non-existant, nontheless it has it's audience.

[@fernandocastro2075]

Carlos Etergen you forgot to say that those kinds of media at targeted for the poorest or "lower classes" you can notice in the language of those "red note" newspaper , even in the announcements you can notice that and they are cheaper than the "real newspapers"... That's because we have a huge problem and bad wealth distribution, and there is people who benefits from that :( i love my country but it is also very very shitty in many ways

[@RTYB]

Regarding #1, there's no "proper regulation" nor should they be. The government only screws people. Less regulation and letting people alone: better.

[@beto079]

Believe it or not, being Mexican, I found same things strange and uncomfortable as well, is very uncomfortable seeing those gore newspapers, restrooms without seats, and as I've lived in the States, and travel to many cities in Europe, US and Canada besides Mexico, the only thing I remember really strange and uncomfortable was a restroom in a French highway, in a rest area, where the restrooms doesn't have toilets, at all, just a really weird hole at ground level with two footprints guides on each side, of course I didn't use it!

As mexican, the red press, gruesome images were also a shock, specially when i spent some years living in the city where there are more common.

Eventhough that red press has a long history in the country. I recommend you to look for the photographic work of Enrique Metinides.

Anyway, the toilet seat, or lack of, is common in Brazil as well. I'll let you know if it is the rest of Latin America as well in a few years.

Im Mexican and im totally disgusted by the violent newspapers. Here we call them "Periódicos amarillistas" and they are everywhere. Its horrible how they show them,How they dont have respect for the children and even worse for the families of the victims that they are showing of. In my opinion. Those newspapers are a very third world thing. Any way,Very cool channel mate 👍

[@CesarSalgadoA]

I really like your videos!! They make me laugh a lot about the things I consider usual but aren't for foreigners. Thank you for portraying Mexico as it is. It's always a good excersise to view my country through the eyes of a foreigner.

Hola Paul, yo soy mexicana y entiendo que muchas de las fotos del periódico son amarillistas y para llamar la atención, pero no me gusta verlas, incluso he cambiado de acera para evitarlas. Creo que desensibilizan a la gente haciéndola pensar que es normal ver violencia diario.

[@luluwilliams9168]

My son is in love with Mexico.

[@alchem1s7]

Estos vídeos realmente me ayudan mucho en el inglés, además de que son imparciales y se me hace muy interesante saber como ven los extranjeros a mi México lindo.

[@valentintejeda5051]

i like your videos, it is a way to practice my english , saludos desde Puebla

[@Kaarajann]

3:25 Holy crap, that old man with the dog is my neighbour since I have memory!! His name is Mr León. I am astonished how you film all your vids very near to where I live. I'd love to recognize you in public one day but sadly I couldn't cause you havent shown your face. Perhaps Ill be lucky enough to spot your green glassess on your t-shirt. Great video man!

[@whitetiger3766]

+True Mexico is it better?

[@WavyOskar]

Jammy joe stop being a bitch

[@jenniferwilson9579]

I was briefly in Mexico for a day in Cozumel and while there was a toilet seat, the toilets wouldn’t flush. There was a lady whose job it was to dump a bucket of water in the toilet bowl when you were done your business. Talk about super creepy and embarrassing!

[@otherstuff8549]

I always going to love your videos, you should talk one day about what is consider an offense in Mexico, for example when a mexican invites you food and you don't want it, how mexicans react and how to respond in a polite way no.

[@TrueMexico]

Thanks! Yeah, that's a good idea for sure :D

[@hugogonzalez1749]

We would insist and gently make fun of you, accusing you of being a lightweight for not even trying the food and pressure you to eat some more, possibly offering you some other dish or atleast a beverage. At a certain point, we might give up on insisting and start eating ourselves. Possibly finding the opportunity later on, in between bites or after everyone has finished eating, to make fun of you some more, e.g. "Estás enamorado o en dieta?"

[@elmascabron]

entiendo lo que dices, pero tambien a los mexicanos nos da pena decir que si, al menos a mi me criaron asi, si iba a alguna fiesta y me decian: quieres mas? siempre volteaba a ver mi madre a ver que cara me hacia, ya con la pura expresion sabia que no podia pedir mas, aunque quisiera. Y por supuesto el clasico: pobre de ti que pidas algo en casa de tu tia .... y cosas por el estilo.

[@escabasket153]

All you have to do is say you just ate and can’t possibly have another bite. One thing that’s really offensive is calling some stupid.

[@mendocinainca8]

Yo soy muy delicada con la comida y casi siempre digo que ya comí.

[@GreenGun41]
