Ah, yeah, maybe the ''pratical jokes'' the guy was talking about (meaning) was one
of these in the (Brazilian) pegadinha-style (wich is not that fun, of course).
Well noticed, Dale.

By the way, it´s a viral (widespread) habit of Brazilian TV programs to broadcast such displays of lies, misery and the dark side of humanity (or if you don´t like it, we have soccer games, and soon after the comments on soccer).  Bread and circus to the

rabble like me.

It was a good thing that Internet was invented, hehe!
