Televisa Cuts “Nonessential” Kisses From Telenovelas, Sparking Outrage Among Old Women, Bloggers Everywhere

Thanks to the Mexican government recommending its citizens avoid close contact, Televisa has said they will cut all “nonessential” kisses from their telenovelas. What don’t you ruin, swine flu!?

Televisa says it’s merely following the mandated hygienic precautions but we think they’re trying to ruin our fun. If they were really worried they would make the actors wear tongue-condoms or cancel filming all together but instead they’re just being giant cock-teases. A spokesman for Televisa made an unofficial statement, “when the script of a telenovela requires a kiss, the kiss will be give in accordance with the guidelines so as not to expose the actors to any risk,” which we’re guessing means a whole lot of panting and eye-fucking but no licky licky. Lame.

To tide you over until all this is behind us and we can go back to protracted scenes of people slobbering on one another, here are some of the all-time best telenovela face-sucking medleys:
