Plan Z (TV Series)
Plan Z was a comedic Chilean TV show broadcast between 1997 and 1998 in the now-defunct Chilean TV channel ''Canal 2 Rock & Pop'', made up of short sketches, usually containing absurdist surreal ist and sometimes politically incorrect humor, created by Angel Carcavilla, Carolina Delpiano, Rafael Gumucio, Pedro Peirano and Alvaro Díaz. It would often show parodies of real life situations, ridiculized stereotypes, and elements that made fun of a post-dictatorship Chile through irony. Its name is based on "Plan Z", which was a supposed plan by the Salvador Allende administration to commit a self-coup in an attempt to establish a Marxist state with the help of the MIR and of the Cuban government. The existence of this plan was supposedly confirmed by the military, but the CIA later confirmed that it was just a product of war propaganda. The show would be given various sanctions from the CNTV due to some of the more controversial actions of the show, such as making fun ...

People From Santiago
A person ( : people) is a being that has certain capacities or attributes such as reason, morality, consciousness or self-consciousness, and being a part of a culturally established form of social relations such as kinship, ownership of property, or legal responsibility. The defining features of personhood and, consequently, what makes a person count as a person, differ widely among cultures and contexts. In addition to the question of personhood, of what makes a being count as a person to begin with, there are further questions about personal identity and self: both about what makes any particular person that particular person instead of another, and about what makes a person at one time the same person as they were or will be at another time despite any intervening changes. The plural form "people" is often used to refer to an entire nation or ethnic group (as in "a people"), and this was the original meaning of the word; it subsequently acquired its use as a plural form of per ...

A university () is an institution of higher (or tertiary) education and research which awards academic degrees in several academic disciplines.

Chilean People
Chileans ( es, Chilenos) are people identified with the country of Chile, whose connection may be residential, legal, historical, ethnic, or cultural. For most Chileans, several or all of these connections exist and are collectively the source of their Chilean identity. Chile is a multilingual and multicultural society, but an overwhelming majority of Chileans have Spanish as their first language and either are Christians or have a Christian cultural background. Therefore, many Chileans do not equate their nationality with ethnicity, but with citizenship and allegiance to Chile. The overwhelming majority of Chileans are the product of varying degrees of admixture between European ethnic groups (predominantly Spaniards and Basques) with peoples indigenous to Chile's modern territory (predominantly Mapuche). Although the historic mestizaje of Europeans and Amerindians is evident across all social strata in the Chilean population, there is a strong correlation between the ratio ...

31 Minutos
''31 minutos'' (English: ''31 minutes'') is a Chilean comedy television series and a children's music virtual band created by the production company Aplaplac (owned by Álvaro Díaz, Pedro Peirano and Juan Manuel Egaña) that began to be transmitted on March 15, 2003 by the signal of Televisión Nacional de Chile (TVN). The program is a parody to ''60 minutos'', a controversial news program of the same channel, transmitted in the 1970s and 1980s. It focuses on the adventures of the team of a news program of little prestige in which something unexpected always happens, whose presenter is Tulio Triviño. The program's notes are educational and leave an explicit or implicit message, while others are quite ridiculous. In its first period, the series had three seasons, from 2003 to 2005, in addition to a participation for the 2003 Chilean Telethon and a Christmas special that same year. On March 27, 2008, the series was taken to the cinema under the title of '' 31 minutos, la pelí ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
