Brazil’s presidential spokesman denounces Homer Simpson as a troublemaker!
Rio just doesn’t appreciate satire
“AT ISSUE IS a March 31 episode of the Fox TV show in which the Simpsons visit this sultry metropolis and encounter an orgy of Brazilian stereotypes. Homer gets kidnapped by a taxi driver while Lisa goes searching for a poor child she sponsored at “the Orphanage of the Filthy Angels.” Family members get mauled by monkeys on Copacabana Beach. Bart gets hooked on a racy children’s show called “Teleboobies.” The Simpsons also learn a new Brazilian dance, a successor to the steamy lambada — the penetrada.”
