Forum rules
At the old Disney Hyperion Studio, the screening room where animators would show animated scenes to Walt for his approval was small, with no ventilation or AC. Not only was it hot, but the animators were nervously awaiting Walt's reaction to their work. Thus, the room became known as the Sweatbox. Even after the Studio moved to Burbank and elegant screening rooms were offered to the staff, the moniker remained.
Now SGT has a sweatbox of our own. This is the place to find and post all entertaining topics such as video links, jokes, games, and the like. A general rule of thumb is that if the thread is meant to be informative (interesting news stories for example), or a topic for discussion (like setting up a park meet) then it should go in the Break Room, but if the intent is to entertain the masses then it's home is The Sweatbox. I'm sure there will be grey areas at times, so if you have doubt as to where a new thread should go, just use your best judgement and the SGT Staff will be glad to move it later if you guessed wrong.

Brazilian tour groups...
Well, I've been around Sao Paulo a bit this week, and not once did I see a large group of Brazilian's following someone with a flag while cheering. My theory, parents/neighbors/teachers gather up the kids who are annoying the crap out of them and send them off for a week or so of peace. You don't encounter this in Brazil, as they are scattered throughout the country, and therefore are unable to gather into a large mass of mobile annoyance...

What's that plaque on the Statue of Liberty? "Give me your blood-curdling masses, yearning to scream free." Yeah that's what the brochure said.

Re: Brazilian tour groups...
The reason you didn't see that was because it is only done by Brazilian tourists. If they are in their home country, they are not tourist, so they don't behave in the manner described when they are abroad. :cat1:ktulu wrote:Well, I've been around Sao Paulo a bit this week, and not once did I see a large group of Brazilian's following someone with a flag while cheering.
