Tom Cruise... silly, silly man (mild)

So Tom is in Brazil promoting his new film. In an interview he answers “Hola” and “gracias”. Also he says one of the reasons he loves Brazil is Tango. How can someone be so stupid?
This rant isn´t about Mr Cruise (he is beyond good and evil), this is directed to the studio. No one told him to say obrigado? or to say he loves Bosa Nova?
The worst thing is that he is australian and this is will surely be regarded as another example of american’s “cultural stupidity”.
I blame Obama, this man is a clear candidate for Guantanamo.

Tom Cruise is Australian is he? They’ll be pleased.

Or are you just cunningly pointing out that just as Spanish does not equal Portuguese, neither does Australian equal American and to confuse the two is cultural stupidity?
:smiley:

Upps. I confused him with his ex wife.
So I am also an idiot BUT not knowing the country of origin of a popular star isn’t the same as not knowing which language brazilians speak :slight_smile:

Ex wife. Nicole Kidman is Australian, but she’s moved on to Keith Urban. He’s married to Katie Holmes these days, and we don’t want her either.

Well he’s lived in Australia so that makes him at least a carrier of Australian.

Practice. Lots of practice.

Meh. I think we’ve all known for quite some time that Tom Cruise swims in the shallow end of the gene pool.

Well, at least he’s swimming. There are people out there, scary people, who are only ankle deep.

And they think they’re swimming.

To be fair, I bet that Brazilian actors can’t speak Australianish either.

when did ncole kidman marry keith olbermann?

and isn’t he hungarian?

So he was ‘the shrimp on the Barbie’. Ignorance fought.

You know, I never, ever heard this joke while they were married.

I really wish I had.

Specially since there are brazillions of them.

Pois nao.

I bet there are people that tango in Brazil. :wink:

Tom Cruise was the best thing in ‘Tropic Thunder’.

Hey Playa!

Oh sure. Blame it on the Bossa Nova.

It is, after all, what enabled Don “No Soul” Simmons to turn a personal affliction into a recording career! :smiley:

Anyone know how the couch jumper’s movie is doing in Argentina?

Nope, he’s Australian. I read it on the internet, so it must be true.

Hey, Australia! Why do you have such stupid people? And why do you let them out into the world. When I think of the utter garbage Cruise has inflicted on the world, I think you people deserve to live in the Road-Warrior hell hole you’ve made for yourselves.

God hates you.

Boo!

(lobs a tom-ato at Sapo)

He really should have watched a cultural training video before he went.
