[edit] Controversy

Sin Tetas No Hay Paraiso has become famous because of the controversy it has caused. Many are upset over the negative image of Colombian culture it portrays. Critics also say that it fails to address the obsession with breast surgery and instead feeds the fantasies of males. According to the Colombian Society of Plastic Surgeons, more than half of the 450,000 operations performed last year were breast augmentations costing an average $2,000-$3,000 per procedure — more than half a year's salary for the 58 percent of the country living below the poverty line.
Even politicians, such as the mayor of Pereira, Juan Manuel Arango Velez stated that "We were provoked and this was a way to stand up and say that the women from Pereira aren't all prostitutes".
