The T-shirts in question include one promoting Rio de Janeiro's famous beaches with a woman in a bikini and the slogan, "looking to score." The other said "I [heart] Brazil," except the heart is clearly a woman's butt in a thong. » 2/25/14 5:30pm 2/25/14 5:30pm

Fertility declined in rural villages in India and Brazil with cable TV access — because, according to two studies, women are inspired by the relatable childless ladies on soap operas (but not, apparently, to kill/cheat/impersonate their twin sister). » 6/14/13 11:45am 6/14/13 11:45am
