Please do not revert the word "tits" in the translation of the title to "breasts." The word "tetas" is a vulgarism in Colombian Spanish that means "tits" in English. [1] As one source indicates, it was deliberately chosen by the producer in Colombia instead of the word for "breasts" ("senos"):

The producer chose well in keeping the word "tetas" (tits) in the name of the soap opera; traditionally considered a vulgar term for breasts, through use it has become accepted by all audiences.[2]

Further, the English-language edition of El Colombiano, the daily newspaper in Medellin, Colombia, translates the title as "Without tits there is no paradise."[3] This should end all discussion of the matter.

NBC has chosen to sanitize the translation of the title by using the word "breasts" in the title of its own adaptation. Consequently, public relations articles promoting the series are being erroneously used as sources for translating "tetas" as "breasts." Sources that do not rely on NBC public relations releases plainly indicate the correct translation of "tetas" in the title is "tits."[4][5] [6] Because NBC's translation sanitizes the actual meaning of the term -- presumably to meet imposed broadcast standards -- reverting the translation from "tits" to "breasts" arguably runs afoul of WP:NPOV.

Is there any doubt that "tetas" is the Spanish equivalent of "tits"? No, of course not. However, there is at least one user who is squeamish about the word "tits" and strives mightily (and repeatedly) to replace it with "breasts," coming up with sanitized English language PR pieces in which "tetas" has been inaccurately translated as "breasts" (obviously for commercial PR purposes, so as not to offend the English-language reader who is unaccustomed to seeing such a vulgarism in a PR piece).Jhw57 (talk) 22:06, 3 January 2008 (UTC)
