Mexican Aspiring Chefs are Oh So Blond!

July 2, 2008

Meet the cast of Univision’s newest novela, Querida Enemiga, yet another Televisa refried production, starring Mexico’s 0.009% blond population.

But don’t be fooled by these people’s looks. Their lives are real complex and must undergo a series of tough obstacles to find happiness. Check it out:

Lorena and Sara were raised together in an orphanage, and even though they have totally different personalities, they love each other as sisters. Lorena’s greatest wish is to become a chef, and so, one day she says goodbye to the nuns that raised her and leaves to study cuisine in Mexico City. That same day, the Mother Superior discovers that Sara has stolen all the funds of the orphanage. When she confronts Sara, she suffers a heart attack and dies. Sara runs with her lover and accomplice Chalo, the driver of the orphanage. To erase all trace of her presence, she steals her file and Lorena’s. When she reads them, she learns that she was found in the garbage dump, but Lorena was abandoned in the orphanage without explanation by her grandmother, the millionaire Hortensia Armendariz. Sara’s first impulse is to find Lorena and help her confront her grandmother and demand her rights, but then she reconsiders her options and decides to usurp her place in the Armendariz gastronomic empire.”

Man! This plot is making me hungry, and depressed.


Typo In Situ: Don’t Insist. This is Plain Incitement

July 2, 2008

And speaking of Yahoo!Telemundo, this is how the Spanish-language site is promoting an episode of court-room show Caso Cerrado, in which a man sues a female neighbor for undressing in front of his window.

I want to believe Yahoo!Telemundo meant to say incita, as in “someone is sexually inciting me!” So, no insista, por favor. This is just a typo in situ.
