Now a little comment about the Brazillian commercials...
Yes, Brazil is a little bit "colorful" when the topic is TV commercials.
Here we are a little bit more open to sex talk on commercials, many of ours are really provocative, but the same commercials get important prizes all over the world.
The same way Hollywood produces the best movies, Brazil produces Soap Operas and TV ads.
Here's a polemic TV commercial created for a new brand of beer. With Paris Hilton.
So many people complained about it that they removed it after a few weeks on air.
But the complaints weren't about the sexual content, but because they used an american woman instead of a brazillian.
Then, they created a new version of it, using a brazilian singer called Sandy.
Sandy is famous since she was a child and she always had that innocent "good girl" image. But of course, she grew up and became a woman. It was great to change her image. Specially because she changed her carrer as a singer for children, passed by a short carrer as a "good girl" adult, like Adele is now, (she ever sang with Andrea Bocelli) and then the decided to put som sex appeal to her career, like J-Lo or Shakira or Thalia or Madona.
The new commercial shocked the brazilians, that would never imagine a pure child like Sandy doing something so "hot".
In an interview broadcasted nationwide on prime time, she stated: "I don't know if you realized it but I grew up. Now I'm a woman, i'm not a saint as people think. and yes, I say bad words, I fart loud when I'm alone and I have wild sex with my husband, like any other ordinary woman. Between four walls, I like to be his whore."
By the way, the translation of the beer's brand is literally "Bitch".
This commercial is rated 18+ in Brazil because it's an advertising for an alcoholic beverage. most of the beer commercials in Brazil shows beautiful women in microscopic dresses and provocative situations.
Once they did a commercial showing muscled men, but women hated it and it was a disaster.
Coincidently, most of Devassa consumers in Brazil are women. They want to drink it to feel like Sandy or Paris Hilton.
Here goes the Paris Hilton's version. Discretion adviced! I really don't know how americans can react to this kind of TV commercial, Here it's ok, but it can cause some disconfort on more traditionalist people. That's not my intention.
