Celebrating Olympics Brazilians Take Over Twitter with Irreverent and Risqué Créu
Written by José Wilson Miranda
Saturday, 03 October 2009
Brazilians celebrated their victory over Chicago, Tokyo and Madrid and the right to host the 2016 Olympics not only in an improvised and anticipated Carnaval in the streets of Rio. There were celebrations also in the US, Europe and on.. Twitter.
Together with expressions of 'Congratulations, Rio' and 'Parabéns, Rio de Janeiro,' Brazilian twitterers introduced a mocking Obama-like slogan that on Friday afternoon had climbed to number one on Twitter's Trending Topics. The winning phrase? "Yes, we créu." An irreverent and risqué expression.
What the hell is "Yes, we créu?" twitterers from the rest of the world wanted to know. Twitter itself tried to answer the burning question with this explanation: "A pun on Barack Obama's slogan "Yes, we can" and Brazilian funk performer MC Créu. It means something like, "Yes, we nail it," and refers to Rio de Janeiro being chosen as the host of the 2016 Olympics."
Twitter didn't explain however that the word créu has an exclusive sexual connotation and is derived from a funk song, Créu (see below), whose lyrics repeat the term créu ad nauseam in a simulated sexual act that gets hotter and hotter. The word means to screw and to score sexually.
That's probably why a Brazilian twitterer called MuriloM wrote at the end of the night: 'De leve, vergonha do Brasil #Yes We Créu' (Lightly ashamed of Brazil). Another one observed earlier: "The vulgarity started early."
With Obama's campaign motto 'Yes, we can' funkalized by Brazil, the trend resisted in the wee hours of this Saturday. A Brazilian nissei artist, Rodrigo Hashimoto, getting into the spirit of the game used Obama's iconic "Yes We Can" poster and put in his place the face of Mussum, a deceased Brazilian black comedian from Os Trapalhões (The Bunglers) group.
"Mussum overcame Obamis," some started to twitter. Obamis would be the way Mussum would pronounce the name of the American president.
Rio and the Brazilian victory only became popular on Twitter after Brazil was handed the victory in Copenhagen by the International Olympic Committee.
Friday morning Rio de Janeiro appeared briefly among the Trending Tropics but soon after disappeared. At that time Chicago, Madrid and Tokyo were getting more traction. After the victory however, the situation inverted and the Brazilian choice got up to 7 of the ten Trending Topics.
On Copacabana Beach, three Cariocas (Rio natives) embodied what became a perfect body translation of "Yes, We Créu." Protected by two 'FBI agents' an Obama look-alike appeared at the side of a full-size picture of first lady Michelle Obama dressed in green and yellow, the Brazilian national colors.
Créu, the Lyrics
É créu!
É créu nelas!
É créu!
É créu nelas!
"Vambora, que vamo"!
"Vambora, que vamo"!
Prá dança créu
Tem que ter disposição
Prá dança créu
Tem que ter habilidade
Pois essa dança
Ela não é mole não
Eu venho te lembrar
Que são 5 velocidades...(2x)

Créu (Translation)
It is créu!

When only 20% of the Brazilian youth can be said as studying decent high school and the rest 80% cannot write when they are 14 years-old CREU is the major complexity society as a whole can reach. Most Brazilian conversation is as deep as this song CREUUUUUUUUUUUU. ingnorant, authoritarian elite and miserabble Brazilians, how beautiful is that???!!!!

a*****e YOU ARE JUST JEALOUS BECAUSE CHICAGO SUCK f**k YOU, YOU FAMILY, YOU CITY, YOUR COUNTRY, EVEN YOUR PET a*****e
The small, coastal town of Condé is located just a twenty minute's drive from João Pessoa, the capital of Paraíba. The Northeast of Brazil has historically been a place of encounter and mixing between peoples. For millenia groups of indigenous people fished, farmed, migrated and sometimes fought along this large, fertile area.
The Brazilian diplo-MÁ-cia (bad diplomacy) carries on its accelerated course towards the non-acknowledgment of human rights, although sometimes it takes pleasure in saying that it does precisely the opposite. The visit of Iran's president, Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, is another example of a diplomatic omission that verges on hypocrisy.
On July 4, 2006, representatives of Argentina, Brazil, Paraguay and Uruguay met in Caracas to sign the protocol for the entrance of Venezuela into the Southern Common Market (Mercosur). After two and a half years, the protocol was approved by the legislative bodies of Argentina and Uruguay, and as of now it may be only days away from being ratified by the continent's economic megalith, Brazil.
Some sectors of the fight against AIDS have suggested that Thabo Mbeki, the former president of South Africa, committed genocide through his absence from the fight against the illness in his country throughout his two terms.
One hundred and eleven years after Brazil abolished slavery, the number of workers deprived of their freedom is still huge. They raise cattle, produce charcoal, sugar cane or timber. Some of them, most undocumented Bolivians, work in basements of small apparel factories in São Paulo and other metropolis.
On November 7, 2009 a few friends and I had an opportunity to take a look inside a Brazilian jail outside the city of Rio de Janeiro. We were able to take some amateur footage of our experience on video (see link below). It's no surprise, of course, that the typical Brazilian jail lacks some of the functionality of those in North America or Europe, but our experience that day was quite shocking.
Depletion of the Amazon Rainforest is not a new concern facing environmentalists, biologists, ecologists, and a growing number of the Amazonian indigenous peoples. For decades they have feared for the fate of the world's most biologically diverse and species-rich hothouse.
Geisy Arruda made history this week in Brazil, but for all the wrong reasons. What began as a poorly planned fashion statement has become a worldwide tale. Geisy decided to wear a pink mini-dress to her private college in São Paulo state, and after that, all hell broke loose.
The push of vigilante groups in Rio de Janeiro's favelas (shantytowns) in the last three years is the most important and alarming information of the just-released study by the Rio de Janeiro University's Violence Research Center (Nupev-Uerj).
A dispute over drug trafficking territory in Rio de Janeiro has intensified lately, leaving in its wake unprecedented acts of violence, such as the downing of a police helicopter in the northern zone of the city on October 17. Three policemen died and another two were injured. This event has drawn the attention of the international media, who are raising the issue of public security for the 2016 Olympics to be held in Rio.
Brazilians celebrated their victory over Chicago, Tokyo and Madrid and the right to host the 2016 Olympics not only in an improvised and anticipated Carnaval in the streets of Rio. There were celebrations also in the US, Europe and on.. Twitter.
