On today lunch's menu: Brazilian beef. caRIOcas is a new television series in the development, that, if produced, would become the nation's first television show to focus exclusively on gay Brazilian men. The pilot was filmed in Rio de Janeiro and the name is a spin on "cariocas," or a native of Rio de Janeiro. Oh and did we mention one of the stars is oh-so-sexy Marcello Melo Jr., seen in the shower above, who starred in the hit films City of God and also in Last Stop 174?
So far, the company is in talks with Brazilian cable provider Globosat for South American clearance, as well as reportedly some American cable networks.
WHEN YOU JUMP, watch Marcello Melo Jr, and assorted Brazilian hotties frolic in the shower, on the beach, near Sugar Loaf, etc.. The trailer (subtitles available) is sexy/crazy/fun—part Women on the Verge of a Nervous Breakdown, part Noah's Arc, and it's all good. Tall and tan, young and handsome, the boy from Ipanema ....
This is not lunch, this is more like a smorgasbord! Good gawd that man is phine.
And the actress in the leopard print ... I have seen her before and yes, she is serving "Women on the Verge."

interesting to see that the entire whole is predictable and uninspired! So sad.

@ Paul:
I'm curious how/why you call it predictable and uninspired? This is clearly supposed to be light fare and the comparison to Noah's Arc and Almodovar's 'Women on the Verge of a nervous Breakdown' doesn't exactly lend itself to documentaries.
I'm Dominican and black...the trailer reminds me of any number of Puerto Rican or Mexican sex comedies that are commonly seen in Latin America.

Dameion:
In a way, I agree. I cannot tell you how often frustrated I get when I'm crusing through Logo and seldom do you see anything about men of color. Truth be told the only programs I watch are Bump or program that explores LGBT around the world, especially Latin America.
Oh, and I almost HATE and despise those who call Brazilians overrated. It's THE most ethnically diverse nation in the world and home to the largest African diaspora (is that how it's spelled?) and their descendants, as well as those beautiful mutts of different colors and shades and complexitions. Yes, this includes those Brazilians of Portuguese or Spanish descent!
Sad to thing the only people who seem to get the most attention in Brazil is the likes of Gieselle or Brazilians of "Aryan" descent or of light skin complexion. This is 2009 and Latin America still has that tired-@$$ caste system ingrained in their culture. It's mulatto (which can also mean mixed-race in general) society. I repeat, there is no such thing as "pure White" or dominat White majority SOCIETY in Latin American. THAT GOES FOR ARGENTINA AS WELL!
Sorry for the long obsessive rant! I wish programs like this would air in logo! I could relate more to this as someone who is of a Latin American background.
