Sin Tetas No Hay Paraíso is the story of a flat-chested teen prostitute who believes that salvation lies in plastic surgery. When the telenovela first aired in Colombia in 2006, it broke the ratings record previously held by Betty La Fea. Now that ABC has scored a critical and popular hit with Ugly Betty, NBC is at work on Without Breasts There Is No Paradise. Even without the publicity-generating complaints of some feminists and “pro-family” types, this show seems destined for success: It’s difficult to imagine anything more appealing to the American viewing public than the chance to watch an underage sex worker plying her trade week after week, and surely U.S. audiences can appreciate the desire for a nice rack as deeply as Colombian viewers. This clip is a promo for the new season of Sin Tetas. A viewer who, say, completed two years of college Spanish will have trouble following the dialogue, but it’s impossible to miss the impassioned delivery—a signature of the telenovela—and one might just catch the young heroine telling a plastic surgeon that she wants “las tetas grandes.”
