Unless there is an episode about a giant wang I don't see the connection.

I think the relevant question that nobody is asking here is: how long has that program been airing? Maybe it was the other way around? Well, the program has been airing since 1993... but the video shown is their new opening sequence, so yeah... it is a rip-off :-)

Isn't the entire idea behind LBP to create and share? There are countless levels in LBP that could be considered copyright infringement.

Like I said, and I'll say one more time. Don't blame Brazil for all of the copycats found, blame the fucking company behind it. It is a fucking rip-off, indeed, but we're talking about SBT. FYI - SBT copies stuff all the time from other channels here and the owner, Silvio Santos, is always travelling to the US to get new ideas for shows (he does pay for the licenses) but they never really have anything original. They're a mix of mexican telenovelas with cartoons and shows ripped off the USA, that's it, no originality. Globo TV, on the other hand, has a lot of crap like their own telenovelas and whatnot, but they do make their OWN shit...

@Lucasreis: Dude, don't get it started with Globo. They're a world mortal minds may not understand, and can only obey or try to resist.

Anyways. Daaammnn son, I used to watch this thing everyday. I remember when they had really hot blond hostesses instead of annoying kids.

@ZombiePuppy: Dude, I'm just trying to explain that not every network here copycats. I don't care if Globo is a villain or not, I just gave an example. Record are copycats too so I didn't use them as and example, understood?

Yeah, I remember when they had Jackie Petkovick, she was beautiful. I hate these new kids...

@Ravenwulf: Is that ONE show?
It looks like a mash of a little bit of everything.
All wrapped up as a Soap Opera, because that is the quality of the filming, the sound and even the background-music.

Personally I loved when the kid was running by at a decent speed and the woman pressed herself against the wall all very calmly when in a normal situation you'd just step to the side.

O.K. so its Saturday morning as I'm reading this...sun rays are creeping though my blinders and I think I'm still drunk....no, no. no. I know I'm drunk because I'm still drinking, hold up, let me reach for my cup of Keystone Ice, lol. Got it. Look at my cousin on couch knock the fuck out! Lol. Anyway. I don't get why Brazilians are commenting and acting all surprised. You are all obviously not Brazilian enough to know that Brazil is the #1 pirate stronghold of all things videogame related with regards to Latin America. This isn't because brazilians are a bunch of cheap fucks but its because the government has a stiff law with regards to foreign videogame related goods, whether its software an/or hardware related. I'm talking sometimes over 100 dollars more in tax for a imported (what you know as domestic) hardware purchase. Thats why they got that PS2 like system that lets you have downloadable games instead of official hard copies... forgot the name....I know some of you know what I'm talking abou (it was featured on Kotaku)...anyway. It doesn't occur to most Brazilians and/or South Americans that this show its a copy of the PS3 since more than 95% of them never actually had playtime with the PS3. Its going to take them a while for them to figure out.

For a Brazilian show, it didn't have enough Sack-boobs or Sack-ass and had too much Sack-sac. (even though it was censored)

Eh, Brazilian studios rip off EVERYTHING. Here are some fine examples of "brilliant" and "original" 3D animation from BR:

@N●Gage Croal:
I heard about this... but to tell the truth, there aren't many people making crap like that in Brazil. In fact, there aren't many 3d movie studios in Brazil at all...

I really don't know where they get the money to do it, because seriously, I never saw anyone watching those rip-offs... I saw a commercial stand in some event once, and the quality was very very crappy.

My guess is that it's probably one studio, funded by government money (cultural incentive or something like that), that probably makes those cheap rip offs and keeps all the rest of the money. Corruption scam or something.

Also, I think the idea started after a brazilian guy (Carlos Saldanha) became famous for being behind the Ice Age movies... he started co-directing the first movie, and now is the director for the second and third titles.
