Hot Brazilian Woman In Trouble For Being A Hot Brazilian Woman November 9, 2009

Seriously, this sort of injustice cannot be allowed to stand. Since when are Brazilians getting worked up about a woman’s dress?

In Brazil, famed for its tiny bikinis and carefree attitude, a university student has been expelled after violent protests by students outraged at the short outfit she wore on campus.

The Universidade Bandeirante (Uniban) said it had expelled the student, Geysi Villa Nova Arruda, 20, for “flagrant disrespect of ethical principles, academic dignity and morality,” in a statement published in some Sunday newspapers.

Her dress sparked student protests on October 22 in this largely Roman Catholic country.

A video showed Arruda sitting in a classroom in a mid-thigh length red dress, then six military police officers protecting her as she left the campus wearing a white jacket. A line of students stood by chanting “whore.”

I have no idea what is being said in this video, but I have the feeling this story needs a more thorough investigation. Personally, I think this is a miscarriage of justice. I mean, aren’t hot women supposed to display God’s beauty and majesty in the form of their awesomeness? Didn’t the Bible say something about that in the footnotes? Or am I just looking for any excuse to oogle attractive women?

I find her views intriguing and wish to subscribe to her newsletter.

eh, don’t have time to listen for any words I might remember how to translate, but having worked in Brazil for a number of years, I seriously doubt this dress would get anybody kicked out of a school, or fired from a job. It’s fairly tame by their standards of attire.

‘Whore’ is just a fun word to yell out loud. Not sure what it translates to in Portuguese.

Dave?

4. skinbad - November 9, 2009

Sounds like Mexicans speaking French.

5. Dave in Texas - November 9, 2009

Portuguese always sounded like an interesting combination of Spanish, French and Italian to me.

6. Lipstick - November 9, 2009

Pups, “puta” works in both Spanish and Portuguese.

Eddie, I’ve long wondered, what’s with all the tags?

7. Eddie The Bear - November 9, 2009

^just having a little fun. You should see some of the tags at places like Kissing Suzy Kolber. They are a riot

8. Pupster - November 9, 2009

Puta? That’s Mare’s cat’s name!

9. Lipstick - November 9, 2009

Portuguese and Spanish can be similar, but I think the former is a more beautiful language.

Often a Spanish word that begins with “ll” like llegar, will, in Portuguese begin with a “ch”, chegar.

Then there are words that are totally different, like pina (pineapple) is “abacaxi”. (The X is pronounced like a “sh”.)

Now go to recess….

10. sandy burger - November 9, 2009

In Argentinian Spanish, the “ll” is pronounced like “sh”. Some people think it sounds lispy, but I think it sounds pretty.

11. geoff - November 9, 2009

Some people think it sounds lispy, but I think it sounds pretty.

It sounds pretty! Oh so pretty!! Oh so pretty and witty and gaaaaayyyy!!!.

12. Lipstick - November 9, 2009

In Argentinian Spanish, the “ll” is pronounced like “sh”.

Yeah. I stayed at a hotel in Argentina spelled “Llao Llao” and people were calling it “Shao Shao”.

Bunch of weirdos.

What I would like to know is how we can have a friggin’ hurricane in the middle of November? Did somebody let Cheney get back on the Hurricananator™ again?

14. Mrs. Peel - November 9, 2009

In Welsh, “ll” is pronounced like…uh…well, the cheap way out is to pronounce it like “thl,” but that’s not how the Welsh pronounce it at all.

Michael - November 9, 2009

I find it offensive when people speak languages with sounds that are unknown in English and difficult to reproduce. Often, these sounds are roughly the equivalent of hacking up a logey. It seems to me they should be more accommodating towards American tourists.

15. Mrs. Peel - November 9, 2009

Michael is unnumbered again – a sure sign of his having made a typo and hastily edited his comment. I bet he couldn’t spell Llanfairpwyllgwyngyllgogerychwyrndrobwllllantysiliogogogoch if I spotted him the first ten letters.

16. Mrs. Peel - November 9, 2009

btw, I just put up a couple pics of the Berlin Wall from when I went there in 2000.

17. Newman - November 9, 2009

Llanfairpwyllgwyngyllgogerychwyrndrobwllllantysiliogogogoch

pronounced “Chumbley.”

18. daveintexas - November 9, 2009

Michael is now Mr. Cholmondeley.

19. Mrs. Peel - November 9, 2009

Back on topic, not to be a jerk, but this chick isn’t that hot and the dress is really unattractive.

That being said, wtf? The dress covers a lot more than a lot of outfits you see at the bars these days.

20. Brazilian Fucker - November 10, 2009

that history is true, happened on 30 days ago… today morning the university called UNIBAN quit the girl and she is not avoid to study again there…. but after the people and politicians not agree the university attitude.

Tis night, she received again the opportunity from the UNiversity to come back to study…. stupid university managers.

The UNiban studants are gays..

21. daveintexas - November 10, 2009

It’s not jerky, it’s true.

Brazilian women wear outfits at work (I can’t speak to school, but I’ve been in the office and shit) that we’d be a bit uncomfortable with here in the U.S.

Pretty ordinary in Sao Paulo.

22. d3ft punk - November 10, 2009

first of all, let me note that brain was already hurting from hurricane-induced migraines, so I’m rather annoyed that they are speaking Portuguese, because I had to to have to Portugish my way through this stupid video to even figure out what was going on. Brazilian is like Russian Spanish, and i hate it, and that’s all that keeps me from moving to the country named after the nut.

long story short, from what I could gather, for some reason she had to go to the school, like for something about her parents (or something, something about her mother). then she either incited a riot intentionally, or it was a setup (so that she was forced to go in the dress), or the school is ridiculously uptight. some of the YouTube comments are saying the video was made-up, others are saying the school needs to stop being so uptight.

I think we need to find out if ACORN has a chapter in Brazil, that’s what I think.

23. doc - November 10, 2009

Mrs. Peel, are you welsh? My maternal grandfather came immigrated with his family when he was 8 (I think, family history is sketchy). It’s the only 100% nationality in any of my grandparents so that’s the one I claim.

24. doc - November 10, 2009

came immigrated – good engrish, cheerio.

25. sandy burger - November 10, 2009

Off-topic rant to amuse you red-staters:

I’m just wincing here in the SF Bay Area listening to quite a few of my friends talk about the latest “man-caused disaster”. Aaaaaaargh. I’m trying not to get mad, because I know they’re good people, but their failure to fit this into their world view is making these good people act incredibly callously. I mean, the immediate response to this mass murder should not be to piously intone about what an intolerant nation America is. They honestly have no idea how ugly and inhuman they appear.

Sorry, I’m not trying to turn this place all serious or anything. I really do love California, but damn, it’s so f’n annoying living here sometimes.

26. sandy burger - November 10, 2009

Actually, now I wish I hadn’t posted this. That story is all over every other blog; it probably have been better to rant elsewhere if at all.

Oh well.

In other news, the painful saga of the Brazilian dress girl has found closure.

27. BrewFan - November 10, 2009

Hey, this place is made for rantin’! Especially if it is off-topic because, lets be honest, this post is pretty boring.

28. Michael - November 10, 2009

*pats Sandy on back*

That’s OK sweetie.

*gives Sandy a hug*

There there.

*stops and thinks*

Wait, you are you a chick, aren’t you?

29. Michael - November 10, 2009

[Really ancient joke from AOSHQ. Just ignore it if it doesn't ring a bell.]

How much would it cost for a screenshot of the IB Dashboard?

I want to imagine what it must feel like to have that kind of power…

32. scottw - November 10, 2009

…….plus of course the SF Bay Area fee.

33. sandy burger - November 10, 2009

I might have to pay the fee California government style, with an IOU.

34. Michael - November 10, 2009

No can do. You might be blinded by the light if you are not prepared and pure of heart.

35. Michael - November 10, 2009

I can get you a screenshot of The Hostages dashboard, but you will need hip waders, rubber gloves and a gas mask.

“Fuck Off, Turd-Ball”

My new, made up reply to the ferret that I let out, only to have him bite my ankle.

What can I say, he led me to eloquence. He’s also back in the cage.

37. scottw - November 10, 2009

Thanks for the inspiration. I am going to pay this years taxes with an IOU and see what happens.

Michael - November 10, 2009

(Singing for Scott.)

♫Yeah he was blinded by the light
Cut loose like a deuce another rabbit in the night♫

Good luck with your strategy in the PRC.

38. d3ft punk - November 10, 2009

He’s also back in the cage.

Trust me, if I could think strait right now, you would be just ROLLING with my ferret–borne humor that’s going on in my slightly feverish head. But I can’t, so I can’t.

Besides, being in there (my mind) would only frighten you.

39. Lipstick - November 10, 2009

You gots the pig flu honey?

40. Mrs. Peel - November 10, 2009

No, doc, I’m just obsessed with Wales since I read about it as a lil’ un. There’s pretty much no Western Europe or British Isles heritage in my family tree.

41. d3ft punk - November 10, 2009

The feverish thing comes from migraines related to weather–related phenomena. Hurricanes are the worst. Anywhooos, it tends to send me on this sleep cycle just like I’ve got some sort of bug, but it is really because of abnormal pressures from that old war wound.

Can’t wait to be able to use that as an excuse to get out of something. ”Can’t do it, sorry, war wound.” Maybe I should get that printed on a card or something.

One of the quirky side–benefits of this is that I have this weird ability to channel William F. Buckley while in this state. Just today I wrote something about sagacity. Do you know what sagacity means? Me either. But I used it in proper context and everything.

I could just be possessed by a demon or something.

42. sandy burger - November 11, 2009

Thanks for the inspiration. I am going to pay this years taxes with an IOU and see what happens.

In California, it’s the other way around. If you do work for the government and they pay you with an IOU, you have to pay taxes on that income, which must be paid in actual cash.

Politically powerful recipients of state money, like the UC system, get paid in cash. But political nobodies like the mental health system may get IOUs.

It’s hard to overstate how politically broken California is. (And yes, many people I know genuinely believe that much of the problem is the fault of the California GOP. Damn you, Ronald Reagan!)

43. sandy burger - November 11, 2009

I could just be possessed by a demon or something.

Yeah, it stands to reason.

Hey, if you can pull of that 360 head turny Exorcist thing, please post a video. It’ll totally kick Dave’s pool-cleaner-video’s ass.

(By the way Dave, although I personally didn’t find that video to be all that interesting, my Roomba was verrrrrrrrry intrigued.)
