O Brasil é reconhecido mundialmente por ser o melhor em vários segmentos. Futebol e Publicidade são alguns deles. Espero que domingo o jogo esteja a altura da resposta dos publicitários brasileiros pra provocação Argentina. (quem não sabe essa peça já é bem antiga, mas rivalidade Brasil x Argentina sempre é atual, não?).

New Miguxês

Eh, bons tempos onde a preocupação dos nossos pais era evitar que a internet nos contaminasse com suas gírias, expressões e abreviações. Ainda lembro mamãe brigando comigo porque eu escrevia "naum" e "vc". Depois vieram os emos com seu miguxês. Aí EU já não entendia mais nada. Pois bem, com o estrangeirismo cada vez mais em alta, quero ver quem vai conseguir decifrar as mensagens que vierem com esses "códigos". "CYA" "U2" e "UR" vira fichinha perto dessa lista aí embaixo. Agora só resta estudar ou ficar de fora ^~
