Brasil

I was just looking at the traffic stats for this site today and it's come to my attention that 25% of the visitors to this site are from Brasil. (Yes, Brasil - no not Brazil - but Brasil. Why do we use a 'Z' instead of an 'S'? - seems silly to me - kinda like Canada with a 'K' - although it's sorta rad if you think about it: Kanada.) Anyhow, different-country-spelling tangents aside, there can only be one explanation for all this attention from Brasil: Brasilians love to party. I'd argue that Brasilians are world famous for near-absolute-domination in the realms of soccer and instant parties. So if you're reading this and you're in Brasil, Bem-vindo à um clipe vermelho! (hopefully google translate didn't drop the ball on the translation...) Feel free to make an offer for one instant party! It'd be pretty sweet to have one instant party in Brasil. The blue and yellow slices of these pies down below are super-surprising to me. I thought Canada/US/UK would dominate the pie and take the biggest slices by far - seeing how I don't speak a single word of Norwegian or Portuguese and haven't been to either Brasil OR Norway. Maybe Brasilians and Norwegians just like pie.
DISCLAIMER: This goes out for all citizens of the world:
Remember, I will go ANYWHERE for the right offer.

Actually, correct Portuguese (on either side of the Atlantic) should be:

Bem-vindos a Um Clipe Vermelho! (You, guys and girls, are welcome)

OR

Bem-vinda a Um Clipe Vermelho! (You, guy, are welcome)

OR

Bem-vindo a Um Clipe Vermelho! (You, girl, are welcome)

Mind the hyphen.


Yeah, there's at least one guy over here in Portugal following this too.

I'm waiting for the next trade. One instant party is not my party yet.

Where did the language translator go? I found that really helpful reading responses in other languages.
