There's a cure.

---
This was taken at a bus stop in the heart of Buenos Aires.  Note the reflection of street traffic.

It says "Breast cancer has a cure - find it before you can feel it."  Obviously, this ad will get the attention of both male and female pedestrians.  Who could ignore a breast the size of a beach ball.

One of the things I like about Argentina is that nobody freaks out about these displays.  Nudity is on the cover of many magazines and all over the tabloids as well.  I walk downthe streets with my 5 and 8-year-old boys - they don't even blink.  It doesn't turn their heads at all.  When a society tries to say "No" to something, that is when people pay attention - especially kids. 

One thing that does concern me is that there is no censorship on language broadcast on TV or radio.  This bothers me some because of the kids.  However, I have never heard a bad word from either of their mouths - in English or Spanish.
