Ten things she have learned about the Portuguese

Here's an article wrote by a new Portugal citizen, Dr. Erin B. Taylor, about our costumes and traditions. Very interesting and, yes, mostly very true!

Quoting from her:
"Since I moved to Portugal just over a year ago, countless Portuguese people have insisted to me that they are not at all like the Spanish: neither in food, language, nor behaviour. Is this true? If so, what makes them distinctive? As I was to discover, quite a lot, actually – even their animals have a different culture. Here’s a list of some of the weird and wonderful peculiarities that I have discovered." 

Yes indeed!

Slutty Performances

Okay now, that's depressing.

Don't get me wrong, I'm not saying that because it is Miley, no, I'm saying that because I'm completely astonish on how futile and over-sexualized society is becoming. I just used this example because it came across my screen today, but mostly of the other music stars we are accustomed to see have this behavior too. 

Personally, I am all in favor of sex no longer being a taboo, but I also think that there's no need to have a society focused on that. We are constantly overwhelmed with sexual images and messages, and what we get is that sex and being sexy is all that matters. I think that shows how messed up are our priorities: yes, it is important to have sex, not only we can continue as a species as it's also a pleasant activity, but we cannot evolve if we are focused on that! Where is the importance of critical thinking, scientific recognition, charity and solidarity, among many others? We have already so many problems, and I don't think sex alone is going to solve them.

In my opinion we should really start to get our priorities straight.

Can't get enough, so cute!

Nicely done Benedict, nicely done

O actor Benedict Cumberbatch conhecido por Sherlock ou, mais recentemente, Star Trek Into Darkness, foi fotografado com este papel: "Go photograph Egypt and show the world something important". Eu já gostava muito do trabalho dele, agora começo a gostar também das suas acções fora do ecrã. 

Não só ele mostrou este, como também foi fotografado com mais papeis com mensagens ao governo inglês acerca da sua violação dos direitos civis:

Espero que não sejas o único com essa consciência, ou pelo menos o único que faz alguma coisa acerca disso. 

Parabéns Ana Ferraz!

A pior fanfic de sempre

Estive a ler a que é considerada a pior fanfic de sempre: My Immortal. E... De facto... É horrível! Consegue ser tão má, tão má, tão má, que não parava de rir. Cheguei à conclusão que, de tão má que é, é genial! Foi obra de algum génio a trollar o fandom do Harry Potter. Só pode!

Além de doer a vista de tantos erros ortográficos, má construção frásica, pontuação mal colocada, é também um cross-over gigante, pois aparecem bandas como My Chemical Romance, Good Charlotte, Green Day, e também personagens como Darth Vader, Spock, Frank Sinatra, entre outros. É algo digno de se ler quando se quer rir às gargalhadas. 

Como fã de Harry Potter sinto-me um pouco insultada com o que ela faz às personagens e como não sabe nada acerca delas e desse mundo, mas como pessoa e ser humano, perdoo, porque passei um bom bocado (hilariante!) a ler a fanfic.

Deixo aqui uns excertos:

""WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU DOING YOU MOTHERFUKERS!!! It was….Dumbledore!"

--------------

""My name's Harry Potter, although most people call me Vampire these days." he grumbled."

--------------- 

"Hermione was kidnapped when she was born. Her real parents are vampires and one of them is a witch but Voldemort killed her mother and her father committed suicide because he was depressed about it."

--------------- 

 "I ran out of the room and into the Forbidden Forest where I had lost my virility to Draco and then I started to bust into tears."

--------------- 

"Voldemort gave me a gun. (...)  Then he flew away angrily on his broomstick."

--------------- 

"(...) the only way you can kill a vampire is with a c-r-o-s-s (there's no way I'm writing that) or a steak."

--------------- 

"Cornelia Fudged was there shouting at Dumbledore. Doris Rumbridge was there too. (...)
"THE BARK LORD IS PLANNING TO KILL THE STUDENTS!" yelled Cornelia Fudge.
"YOU ARE NOT FIT TO BE THE PRINCIPAL ANY LONGER!" yelled Rumbridge. "YOU ARE TOO OLD AND YOUR ALZHEIMERS IS DANGEROUS! YOU MUST RETRY OR VOLDEMORT WILL KILL YOUR STUDENTS!""

---------------  

"They were going to St. Mango's after they recovered cause they were pedofiles and you can't have those fucking pervs teaching in a school with lots of hot gurlz."

--------------- 

"MCR were there playing 'Helena'. (...)It wasn't them at all. It was.,….. Volsemort and da Death Dealers!"

---------------  

""Eboby…..Ebony…." Darth Valer sed evilly in his raspy voice. "Thou havfe failed ur mission. Now I shall kill thou and I shall kill Vampire as well. If thou does not kill him before then I shall kill Draco too!""

---------------  

""Cum on Enoby." said Proffesor Sinatra. She was wearing a gothic blak leader dress with a corset top and real vampir blood on it and fuking black platinum boots."

---------------  

He put his spock in my you-know-what and passively we did it.

--------------- 

"It was….Snope and Profesor McGoggle!"

--------------- 

""CUM NOW!1!" Preacher McGongel yielded"

--------------- 

"Crosio!" I shited pointing my wound. Snoop scremed and started running around da room screming. Meanwhile I grabed my blak mobile and sent a txt 2 Serious."

--------------- 

""I fucking tortured them." he answered in a statistic way. "They r in Abkhazian now, lol.""

--------------- 

"They began to pay a song bi (geddit koz bi guyz r sooo sexah!11) Gurn Day. (...)"I wok dis empt stret on da bolevrad of broken dremz." I sang sexily (I dnot own da lyrikz 2 dat song).. Every1 gasped."
