    Lest we forget the uproar over "The Simpsons" Brazil episode, where Homer gets kidnapped and little orphan Ronaldo is attacked by monkeys ("I am like sugar to them!"). No sense of humor, that country.

    Brazil, as a nation, is incomparably conspiratorial and petulant when it comes to the most mild criticism or even simple observation of their national problems (of which there are many).

    Last year my work took me to Sao Paulo about once a month for almost a full year, and it was interesting to say the least.

    @Thomas Paladino: Yeah, don't even suggest to a Brazilian that there might be racial divisions in their country.

    I had an aunt who worked for Reader's Digest when I was a kid and she said it was a great place to work. I only remember a lot (a whole lot) of shark stories or shpwrecked at night stories...that kind of thing.

    i never thought much about reader's digest always being in my grandparents' house until i went back as an adult and read it -- really fringe rightwing lunacy in between the "clever" anecdotes

    So do the layoffs at CN mean that they're going to unload a couple of dozen of those VF "Contributing Editors" who get paid a handsome sum each month so their name can appear in that clusterfuck on the masthead but never ever write?

    @Swordfish: Can you be more specific on the range of the handsome sum? I've always wondered. Also, excellent use of the word clusterfuck.

    @Swordfish: All of the magazines have been getting rid of contributing editors for the past year--just not renewing contracts. In some cases they leave the people on the masthead for various reasons.
