Well, I agree with the "traficante" part he's in a tight corner there, but as to "droga"... what about perscription drugs? the word drug is still there. but I understand what you mean because I'm portuguese, if this happaned here he'd be in the clear...Drug can mean aspirin for all we care, I don't know what's it like in Brazil, though.

either way, this ends up beeing a freedom of speach issue, IMO. he was interviewed, stated his opinion and was sued because he bad mouthed MS...that's just plain silly. MS can ask for a justification, and I think he is free to ignore MS's plee, however sueing him seems rather silly.
like someone said MS is loosing it's marbles.
(loosing marbles in portuguese can mean something else...let's not go there.<nobr> <wbr></nobr>:) )
