travel light before traveling stupid

O HAI! we're back. and we won't bother doing a Portuguese version anymore. why? because we're lazy. we don't even use capitals much.

so, anyway, if you're in the mood for traveling, how about taking a schmuck with you? no? are you sure? we have them in many, many sizes.





a lil' schmuck case, perhaps?





still no? well, we tried. it's not our fault you're such a schmuck.

PT: Hummmmmm, como colocar isso de forma eloquente? Chupa New York Times?

EN: Oh, come on, it's only the NYT. It's not like it's a real newspaper.

PT: Pô, eu com dois diplomas não arranjo patrocínio nem pra disputa de bocha da Associação de Apoio à Melhor Idade do bairro. Seguindo a linha de raciocínio da didática na imagem, o tradutor do Google define "little red neck" como a tradução de "caipirinha". Certo?

EN: Nothing new. I thought I'd stick to the basic grammar monstrosities, since virtually everything came be from Google Language Tools. I can't help but wonder how anyone would sponsor something like this. Brazilian NYC enthusiast Carlos Miele maybe?

PT: Em defesa da miss brasileira, após profunda e detalhada análise dos vídeos da miss Japão, miss Guam, miss Vietnã, miss Índia, miss Malásia, miss Egito, miss Hungria, miss Singapura, miss Kosovo, miss Filipinas, miss Colômbia e muitas outras, pegamos a miss Coréia escorregando bonito num "lecognize".

Prision Breik: cadeia neles!

PT: Tudo começou no twitter, e tomou proporções que nos fizeram agir, já que nem a aproximação gramatical explica (ou em português é prisião e não fomos avisados).

EN: This post is supposed to make you follow us on twitter, but we'll try to be really subtle. We just don't get this whole "prision break" thing.
Seriously, do a twitter search, or a google search and you'll see the gravity of this.
