COLOMBIA: New "Narco-Soap" Outrages Some.
GUARDIAN.UK/ A new telenovela with sexy assassins and hero drug lords, called "Rosario Tijeras," is stirring-up controversy. A Medellin newspaper describes the TV program as a "gulp of absurdity, vulgarity, bad manners and a big dose of narco-culture." Rosario Tijeras is the just the latest narco-soap to cause a ruckus. The main criticism is that the narco-soaps series glamorise criminals and encourage young people to emulate them. Panama's President Ricardo Martinelli complained that the shows that also air in his nation "...exalt drug trafficking, theft, muggings," and do "damage to our country" and corrupt "moral values".
