Playboy has finally launched erotic television in Chile, a country considered conservative enough that protests emerged that it would corrupt traditional values here.
Launched Feb .10, Playboy TV runs 24 hours a day, seven days a week, and features erotic amateur videos and Night Calls, in which sexy hostesses bring guests' fantasies to the screen, says Reuters.
Chile's new edition of the network makes Paraguay and Bolivia the only Latin American countries remaining who do not show Playboy TV, according to network manager Thomas Free.
At least one conservative group in Chile has flamed up over the network's arrival. "If we continue like this," says Francisco Donoso, who heads El Porvenir de Chile, a family values group, "we are going to become savage people."
"This is normal," Free told a news conference. "Although this may be a controversial debut, it is rare that things happen without controversy.''
Playboy TV otherwise made a low-key debut, Reuters says, with reporters "more interested in seeing the Millenium Playmates, " twins Darlene and Carol Bernaola of Peru.
