I was in Tijuana last weekend, and aside from seeing some guy masturbate on the street it all seemed pretty normal. One major difference, though, is that little kids costumes all come in the form of Mexican Wrestler style cape and cowls. Instead of those flame retardent jumpsuits and flimsy plastic masks of my childhood, little Mexican children play Spider-Man with a sequined Spiderman mask and a cape. It's an odd collision of cultures and cultural icons into this hero/wrestler superhybrid.

Just a curiosity is all. I'm sure there's a better cultural critique to be made of all this, but I should be working right now anyway.
