Brazilian television seemed rather odd to me, and I couldn't quite put my finger on why (it wasn't the language, clearly). Then it struck me. Brazilian adverts are not ironic like ours. They are earnest, straightforward, simple adverts, without humor, without sarcasm, without snarkiness, without surrealism. Just plain old traditional ads. Anyway, I really don't see "qué tiene que ver el culo con el mes de agosto" with this ad… Cadbury? Gorilla? WTF? I’ve been ten days in Brazil on vacations.
