I have to say that I am quite pleased with myself when Googlers arrive on my "Top Ten Misconceptions about Brazil" page or my "Top Ten Reasons You Shouldn't Visit Rio de Janeiro" page with such searches as:
"easy to get laid brazil"
"buy drugs rio"
"where to go to get laid in rio"
"Carnaval del rio asses big"
"jewish women who like sex and speak english rio brazil"
I am perplexed when Googlers arrive on my blog from such searches as:
"peeing in front of a crowd"
"naked feathers"
I'm also perplexed by how many people have been Googling "rio gringa" and different variations from all over the US, Brazil, and the world--around 20 people a day. My faithful readers should know by now, though, that my blog can be accessed simply by typing in riogringa.com (I own the domain).
Google away, Internet!
But things could be worse. Say this to Preta Gil. When people searched for "atriz gorda" in Google Images, the system suggested "Did you mean: Preta Gil". Preta Gil was furious and sued Google to "repair" this error.
