Hopefully things calm down in Brazil because they will be staging the World Cup, they have gone from stories like Pele brought up on kicking around Orange peels to having some really good stadiums and lifestyles that match that of Europeans and Americans.

Eduardo Paes and Dilma Rousseff are two people in Brazil that a lot of people listen too and the protestors direct their questions to them. twitter is good for this sort of thing because they can ask questions in the hope that they will receive an answer, the problem with this is often people are so tanked up when they get round to ask things or get the courage to say something it all comes out as gobble dee gook as they type with one finger on the phones and tablet devices.
