Oblivious people from the outside...

[Almeidaboo]

I saw something on the TV today that really got me worried...I'll explain leater, but please, answer the following questions (I ask you NOT to use any kind of sources, use only your current knowledge):

Who is Brazil's president?
What's Brazil's currency?
What's Brazil's official language?
In which continent is Brazil?
Who is this lady?
And this? (tip: it's NOT gimli.)

[Almeidaboo]

A lot, actually ^^

[Razor]

The answer to all of these and more: I don't know


oh except the continent one, that's South America.

[Almeidaboo]

Tnks for your sincere contribution Razor!

EDIT: Ah yes, I ask that you answer based on what you think. Give it a shot, knowing this is ABSOLUTELY NOT your obligation.

[emiiru]

Language: Portuguese

All I can add.

[Archem]

Well, since I live in the US, I don't know anything about any country that's not the US.

[Ben]

portugese, and south america.

The lady I dont know. The man is your president? The currency is the Brazillian dollar. Allthough Brazillio sounds cooler.


Dont feel angsty about our obliviousness. Most non Canadians cant answer these same questions about my fair nation


Who is our Prime Minister?



Economic system?


Primary Export?

Etc...




Allthough Im willing to bet Brazils Primary Export is wood.

[Archem]

You know, upon looking back, I've realized that I can't answer most of these questions about my own country!

[ZeroKirbyX]

What's Brazil's currency?: Reol or something?
What's Brazil's official language?: Portugese

The only countries I really no anything about outside of the US is Britain and Russia, one because they were our owners for awhile and one of the greatest allies and Russia because they had the nukes in the 60's.

Isn't the woman your counsel lady, or some other figure in high government?

I remember learning this somewhere.

[Prpl_Mage]

Who is Brazil's president? No idea
What's Brazil's currency? Real
What's Brazil's official language? Portugése
In which continent is Brazil?  South America

Who is the woman? A movie star or singer I suppose... She got an awesoem dress either way.

Who is the man? No idea, your father perhaps?

 Almeida, did you see that news about statistics showing that strangers know more about our country than we do, is that it?

[Almeidaboo]

On the contrary Grandy. We know about other countries more then they know about us. These same questions were made in Italy, and people answered things as "Brazil is in Africa", the currency is the dollar or the peso, that our president was Hugo Chavez (FOR GOD SAKES, ANYONE BUT HIM!) and so on. No one recognized the most rich and sucessful and hot model in the earth (entitled über model by the international fashion community) GIsele Bundchen. Nor did they recognize our stupid little dwarfish (entitled über idiot by us, brazillians) president, Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva, Lula, to the haters.

I was impressed because in school I had to study the whole USA's and world's history, the geography of the whole freaking world, culture, religion and so on...And they don't even know our CONTINENT!

I'm not angry, just...@_@

[Ben]

Dude, its the same in Canada.

I spent more time in Canadian school learning american history.....
