Xuxa should be our president now.
She made more for poor little kids when she had that show; than what our president is doing for them right now.

PS: What happened with Mac Chick June?

0×3333,

I know Xuxa’s Brazilian, I just said that that version of her show was filmed in Argentina.
I was stretching for some excuse to link Xuxa to a story, and I thought I did a fair job.

You kids and your Xuxu. Back in my day (cue the scratchy black and white film clip) we had Isis as our Saturday morning entertainment: http://rds.yahoo.com/_ylt=A0WTb_kqADdIH4EBI0WjzbkF/SIG=1252jt5aq/EXP=1211650474/**http%3A//www.flickr.com/photos/hillyblue/998746769/ Mini dress, a hint of leather, and no apparent brassiere; that’s wholesome entertainment!

Heck, even her alter ego, nerdy science teacher Andrea Thomas put Xaxu to shame http://rds.yahoo.com/_ylt=A0WTefizADdIdXUAYamjzbkF/SIG=125llt3f7/EXP=1211650611/**http%3A//www.flickr.com/photos/hillyblue/998845721/

CBS loved the show because the demographics were unique. It skewed away from a kids’ show to a “family” audience, because so many fathers spent “quality time” watching it with their kids! It also helped that Joanna Cameron appeared in a Roger Vadim “free love” movie (Pretty Maids All In A Row) that became a staple for late nights on the new HBO at the same time. [We won't discuss the issues of Rock Hudson as the film's lothario.]

Finally (you rotten little punks!), there’s no arguing the creepiness of a giant purple dinosaur who spends all his time with little children. But back in the 60s/70′s we got H.R. Pufnstuf (1), a psychotropic protagonist dragon for kids too young to score their own LSD. They first got us hooked with Banana Splits(2), the gateway show to Pufnstuf, and then moved us on to Lidsville(3) – the Speedball of kiddie TV. Witchiepoo(4) was obviously the “free sample” in Pufnstuf to hook us up with Lidsville.

Carlos Slim is only the second richest man but he is practically the owner of Mexico (where i live), he is winning like a million everytime he blinks.. and he only needs like 2 billions to defeat Buffet… Wait a couple of months after he starts selling iPhones and he will be the richest man.

isn’t ironic that one of the richest man is from a poor country?

No offense guys, but Carlos Slim is “only” the second richest man Warren Buffet is still first.

Xuxa is so Argentine as Buenos Aires is the Brazil’s capital.

I little joke:

- Hey, Lula (Brazilian president). I’ll bomb your country tomorrow. Our plan is to start by your capital, but I can’t remember its name. – says George W. Bush.

- Oh, sure pal! Buenos Aires is the city. – says Lula’s translator, as our beloved president barely speaks our portuguese.

Weird world, ain’t it?

Yeah, Xuxa is Brazilian and she has had about a billion shows on TV at various times. The girls wearing the majorette costumes are called “paquitas”; many of them have gone on to become famous in their own right, often by posing in Playboy. She’s basically the queen of Brazil, and she started a proud tradition of women who are basically nothing more than strippers becoming hosts of children’s programming.
