Ahahaha! And you haven't even seen it on High Def. I wasn't cruel enough to post one of la Tigresa del Oriente's better quality videos, because then you'd see her meat joyfully swinging in the breeze ( ... )

Holy fucking shit, I was just coming here to ask why why WHY she was in a tiger leotard?

Don't sweat it. I come from the land of Bollywood, plus the Australians have a weird idea of what constitutes news - front-page headlines are often sports-related. I feel your pain. Though admittedly, I haven't had to interview anyone.

Hey, Bollywood does actually have a storyline most of the time, right? The She-Tiger doesn't. D: She wears the tiger leotard because she thinks its sexy. Then she growls and scratches her inch-long red nails at the camera.
That's when I generally try to scratch out my eyes. Also, she's in the running to become the city's Mayor.

The thing I really really hate? It's a wide-spread belief in Peruvian TV that the vast majority of our country's population is too stupid to understand or fully appreciate cultural segments. Of course, the higher-ups in TV who encourage this kind of thinking are mostly composed of accomodated people who want to distance themselves from the colored masses, so...
