According to the Lastminutetravel.com commercial here, in case you were thinking of cheating on your spouse, try out Brazil. The waitresses, who are also Carnival dancers, will sleep with you. That’s right! So go now to the site and buy a vacation package!
…and yes, that was sarcasm.
The woman spoke Spanish at the beginning…
Yeah, North American companies should stick to North America. When their interest starts going south, their ability to proceed intelligently, goes down.
It is upsetting that there is such a wide spread misconception about Brazil and Brazilians. The list of silly questions about the country is quite large.
Thanks for the post, Adam. Your blog has become my favorite source of information about Brazil :)
This commercial is tasteless on a number of levels. Despite what one may believe about infidelity, I don’t know of anyone who considers it to be humorous. I can’t imagine what the marketing people were thinking when they decided this to be an acceptable way to promote their product. Note to self – never use this Web site!
A Colombian friend of mine saw it and she laughed…yet she doesn’t like when someone references cocaine. Anyways, I agree with what you said.
