About

"Come to Brazil" is an expression associated with Brazilian internet users requesting various celebrities to visit their home country. Due to the phrase being commonly seen on various social networking sites, it is often mocked or posted sarcastically in a similar vein to the Russian phrase Cyka Blyat.

Origin

On April 11th, 2008, Twitter user @cecilab[4] invited French entrepreneur Loic Le Meur to visit Brazil, marking the first time the phrase "come to Brazil" was posted on the social networking site (shown below).

Later that year, a question asking "What is 'please come to Brazil'?" was submitted to Yahoo Answers.[2]

A little tip for all you foreign fellows thinking about coming here for the Olympics or something. Don't. This place is a shithole. We are deep in a economic crisis due to massive corruption scandals, crime has skyrocketed recently (there have been cases of cops kidnapping athletes and murder-robberies are at a peak, for example), everything is ridiculously expensive (especially for a country as poor as ours), the infrastructure is complete shit, among other less broad reasons.

So in short, DON'T COME TO BRAZIL
