Paradise Without Breasts?

If J. Kingston Pierce were in his usual spot at the helm of The Rap Sheet, I just know he’d share this item with you. It ran Wednesday on CNN.com under the title of “Bust and boom: TV tale of breasts, drugs a hit.” Here’s some stuff from early in the piece:
Airing nightly in prime time, “Sin Tetas no hay Paraiso”--“Without (Breasts) There's No Paradise”--revolves around a 17-year-old call girl who agonizes that her flat chest is a barrier to deliverance from poverty and a life of ease as a drug trafficker's pampered plaything.

The show, based on a best-selling, true-to-life novel by the same name, is presented as a faithful--albeit tragic--reflection of a Colombian culture rotted to the core by criminality.
There’s more--lots more--here.
