Here's the story: You fill in the form with yours and a friend's name/email. He enters the link, and sees a hot girl (Juliana Paes) showing his tattoo, with the sender's name, and says: "oh, don't worry, there's one tattoo for you too! Hey fat-guy-who-I-don't-remember-the-name, come over here!" Then the fat guy enters and shows a tattoo with the receiver's name.
However, even though I am from Brazil and my locale is set to pt_BR, the text in the fat guy didn't show up to me (maybe because I'm on linux)... It really would help to embed the fonts... BTW, really, what's with the girl in the preloader? On 12/21/06, Chris Allen <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:
It is a pretty clever effect. I think it certainly helps to understand Portuguese to know what's going on there and to actually get the joke. I think that they definitely did embed the font; it just doesn't show up the first time around. You need to supply your name in the "Seu Nome" field and then click on "Visualizar" to see it. Now, I'm not sure why they play the video without a name to begin with; that part seems to make no sense to me. -Chris On 12/20/06, Mark Winterhalder <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > As I can guess, they probably can have some other (dynamic) texts there, but > > haven't embedded fonts, so we can't read it on our non-spanish machines ;-) > > Ah, now I get it.
