I've just started watching this show and I've been loving it. But I have something I've got to say about this episode: I don't know if I have the right, for I'm a person who truly believes in respecting other people's art, but, as a brazilian, I feel very ofended. And we do not feel hurt that easily. This brazilian references were RIDICULOUS! The portuguese spoken in the episode was portuguese from Portugal; NOBODY here talks like that! Actually it was kinda hard for me to understand what that clearly non-brazilian people were saying. That girl whom Amy kissed, god... I can't say based on her looks, but she looked more European than Brazilian. A taned European. You know, we're not all taned. We do come in many shapes AND colors, but we're not all taned or THAT taned. What about that part Amy says the girl turned her into a oompa-loompa? What's the story here? We're also fake taned? Jeez! Also, we speak PORTUGUESE, not fucking spanish! That irritates me so much. A bunch of "Holas" in the walls was seriously disrespecting. I don't understand the point of this episode, really. If the writers wanted to celebrate Brazil, than they really should've done some research on it. Or if they were just talking about someone else's country randomly, they could've, at very least, picked some country they did know a little bit more about the culture. This entire Brazilian-themed part were ridiculous. I had a hard time trying to concentrate on story. (Ps: I get about the Carnaval, churrasco and stuff. I do not feel ofended by it, since it's really part of our culture and, somehow, part of how we're seen in the world) I'll just try and forget this huge failure and continue on loving this adorable show.
That said, I'm liking Liam so much better this season. I'm even sympathizing with him. Nice haircut too. ;)
