The city of Valencia, Spain and the Ministry of Health suggested a penalty.

The owner of Pacha, the most famous club of the city, came to apologize.

In Argentina, these awards are still offered in several provinces.

The Spanish lady who wants them new, have to pay for it. That decision came in the Spanish club Pacha Valencia when they opted to create a prize draw of a breast surgery scheduled for December 5th.

The reason of the suspension?

The City of Valencia, the Government and the Ministry of Health warned to act on its own to explore the possibilities of establishing some kind of penalty, a "squeeze" that was enough for Carlos Monsell, manager of the club who when to apologize to all the media.

"Since Pacha Valencia want to extend our apology to all the persons or institutions who could feel offended with the initiative and pass that was never our intention to disrespect anyone," said Monsell, in the context of a statement Argentine-eye-view can be seen almost surreal.

WHAT HAPPENED IN THIS LAND?

While in Spain they canceled the only country draw of  boobs , in Argentina this mechanism is becoming the rising club appeal  to attract customers.

Here, different establishments of San Juan, La Rioja, Cordoba, Mendoza and Neuquen without offering any serious resistance from the state-breast prostheses to anyone who is willing to pay 10 to 30 pesos to get an entrance.

The only outright opposition was given by Minister of Health of Buenos Aires, Claudio Zin, who created a rule that prohibits this type of sweepstakes in the province. "What differentiates us from the First World is primarily a cultural factor," explains Dr. Jorge Patana, president of the Association of Plastic Surgery of Buenos Aires. In countries like United States, Mexico, Brazil and Argentina plastic surgery is unfortunately seen as a hairdresser science. But in Europe, not. Not everyone do it, and less that lightly".

To Dr. Marcelo Bernstein, member of the Argentine Society of Plastic Surgery, is not questioning the surgery itself but the way it comes to it. "You need to know depply who you operate, and the other way around: every patient must know the surgeon’s resume - warns Bernstein - Main part of these professionals who provide these surgeries are not highly qualified.

The problem is that Argentines, unlike developed countries, we have a level of information smaller. And is the only information that allowed you choose what's best for you. A mature society is the one that can ask questions".

HOW MUCH. The controversy began to take place with Pacha Valencia in mid-November, when managers announced that a local festival at December 5 called -Pretty Woman-  prize a breast surgery in a "tribute to women".

Within hours, groups of feminists and feminist not only, cry out and forced the owners of the establishment to go back one step to clarify that the award should really be unisex, and it was not necessarily a bubs augmentation but a "bonus of aesthetic" with a value of 4,500 euros, which could be exchanged for other interventions. "If the prize really gets a guy explained Monsell, local manager, can do 20 sessions of permanent waxing , or 20 times Botox , or you can spend 40 years taking thousand UVA (sunbathing)."

Monsell argued further that the draw was almost philanthropic intent: covering the social demand for Valencia, the European community with more aesthetic operations in 2007: 15 thousand exactly.

"So we, as people usually like to go to a beautiful disco and all this, because we believed we had a social demand that is there, and we decided --  our only mistake perhaps -- putting the breast augmentation in the poster -- Added Monsell In an interview with the newspaper El Mundo.

Also, if is a prize draw in a gym or in a beauty center, nothing happens. If I gift it to my girlfriend for holidays, nothing happens. If I go to the bank to finance it, nothing happens. Why are we so hypocritical? Also, how much we would have to circumvent the award 20 times in order to get to someone who is not already operated?.
