From the AP story: Colombia's passion for implants is almost unmatched. While the show's popularity and message have garnered some protests in Colombia, the country's obsession with plastic surgery is irrefutable. The show is apparently about a girl from a poor, crime-infested area who is flat-chested and told by her nemesis, 'What matters today is having a good pair of (breasts) - no matter if they're made of rubber, wood or stone.' To make a long story short, she gets breast enlargement surgery, becomes disillusioned and commits suicide. I barely speak Spanish and found it captivating.īut back to the breasts.
I actually watched quite a bit of Betty la Fea when it was on Telemundo a few years back. The last most popular show, Betty la Fea, is being re-done for American audiences this fall as Ugly Betty. And that's saying something in a country that is addicted to the primetime soap operas. Sin Tetas no hay Paraiso, ('Without Breasts There's No Paradise') is the hottest telenovela in Colombia - ever.
