Slave Markets in Argentina -- Maybe Just Women



I was struck by this store in downtown Buenos Aires, which seems to be offering slaves.  I know enough Spanish to tell that it must only be female slaves because of the "as" ending on the end of the word "esclavas."  If you doubt they really meant "slaves" check out the "linked chain" logo above the word.  And it looks like you can get the slaves immediately "Las Esclavas Express."  Unfortunately, the store was closed (most of the stores close at random times throughout the day).  But then, we do already have a housekeeper, a doorman, a tango teacher, and many chefs (nearby), so another slave would be surplusage.
