Comment: I haven’t watched any telenovelas recently, but — at least up until a few years ago — the standard plot-line was:
episode-1) Boy meets girl
episodes 2 – 25) Boy gets distracted by various sulty temptresses with heaving bosoms while girl gets distracted by various ultra-macho caballeros
episode-26) Boy and girl get married by a priest (or maybe even by the Bishop) in a grand colonial church with a lot of white doves fluttering around.
Hard to criticize, really.
Chaim Amalek: Sounds racially healthy to me. Whenever I channel surf through these shows, I see a bunch of white people, albeit of the Ricky Riccardo set. Never any short dusky sorts. Is that real life?
* Christopher Donnellan: You’d think Mexico was a predominantly ‘white nation’ judging from the complexion of most cast members of their Telenovelas.
* Chaim Amalek: One reason home delivery is so popular among the women of New York is that it gives them a reason to meet such men.
