History[edit]

The Simpsons visited the city of Rio de Janeiro when they tried to find an orphan named Ronaldo. During their visit Homer got kidnapped.[2] Later Homer became a FIFA referee and The Simpsons traveled to Brazil again.

Monroe family have a book from Brazil.[3]

Brazil was mentioned by a NASA scientist as one of the countries proliferating rockets.[4]

Trivia[edit]

  • In Brazil, a gesture similar to the ear grasp, or grabbing one’s ears, signifies appreciation.[5]
  • In Brazil and other Latin American areas, the vertical horns are a sign of good luck; in Italy, however, they mean you are being cuckolded.[5]
  • The “fig” is an obscene gesture of contempt in some Mediterranean and European lands; in Brazil and Venezuela, however, it is a good luck symbol.[5]
  • The finger circle means “okay” in the United States, but it is considered obscene in Brazil, impolite in Greece, a sign for “money” in Japan, and “zero” or “worthless” in southern France.[5]
