CSI Miami part of Brazilian culture?
A few days ago an older David Caruso video "Filming in Brazil" (Broadcasted on the homepage of German Cable TV Network RTL http://www.rtl.de/tv/tv_951492) was hyped.
"CSI Miami and Horatio are part of the Brazilian Culture! We are very much a part of their lives!"
We were stunned when we first heard this comment. We replayed. No, Caruso really said that.Now, everyone who has ever read or watched a David Caruso interview has come to expect to hear things that make little to no sense. However, the above statement is a new highlight.
Maybe Caruso intended to say : "We have a huge fanbase in Brazil."
However, the way he said it sounded like that an American TV-Crime-Show (with dropping ratings)has become an (integral) part of the Brazilian culture.
Does Caruso imply that the Brazilians have no culture of their own?
Does Caruso imply that HE (and the show)PLAY AN IMPORTANT PART in the every day life of Brazilian people?
Mind you Brazil - a third world country with a high poverty rate. A country where only 30% of its population owns a TV at all.
Bad choice of words or plain ignorance or both?
