Aquí no se hace pipi

water.jpgI had to laugh at loud at the comprehensive analysis that Univision.com has conducted on the historical absence of bathrooms, bathroom speak, and any reference to using the bathroom in telenovelas — and the baño’s sudden reappearance on the scene. In a very complete (three pages!) article, they analyze the history of the bathroom on Spanish language soaps, and it’s present-day comeback. A tidbit:

Alborada nos muestra cuán importantes eran los vasos de noche en la era colonial. Primero vimos que la monja Catalina saluda a Hipólita, su sirvienta-hermana, con un “¡vacíame el orinal!”. Capítulos más tarde, Don Diego, Conde de Guevara, envenenado con un filtro amoroso utiliza la bacinica para devolver el contenido de su enfermo estómago. Finalmente, y en medio de una conversación con su madre, ¡Don Diego se baja los calzones y usa el retrete portátil!
