Prostitutes in Brazil are Offered Free English Classes Before the World Cup

You gotta admit this story is kinda funny. Then again maybe its not.

Well, English is the international language of business and they say prostitution is the oldest profession on Earth.

English is more than likely to be the connector language for visitors to Brazil regardless of what country they are coming from.

I wonder who came up with this proposal?  That's pretty funny.
Out of all the different professions available someone felt the most important ones that need to be able to communicate with international tourists was the hookers.  AND other people agreed with him!

I don't think the communication factor really mattered too much for most guys coming to Brazil to hook up with women.
Who knows some guy somewhere is probably jumping up and down after hearing this news because he wants a Brazilian hooker that will listen to and understand him.

All jokes aside prostitution is legal in Brazil (apparently though pimping is not legal).  Business is business.

 Prostitutes in one of Brazil's biggest cities are signing up for free English classes ahead of this year's Confederations Cup and the 2014 World Cup.

Cida Vieira, president of the Association of Prostitutes in the city of Belo Horizonte, has said 20 women have already signed up for the courses.  Vieira expects that up to 300 of the 4,000 members will attend the classes by the end of the year.

Pollyana Temponi, 27, who has been a "sex professional for three years," says the English will be useful to negotiate prices and agree on what kind of services they will perform.
"All jobs require English nowadays," she says.

Here is the more wholesome, family-friendly marketing material for the World Cup in Brazil featuring a cartoon armadillo character.

 This is the Brazil for grown ups version.  The real reason everyone wants to visit Brazil.

I don't want to hear anything about Brazil not wanting to be associated wit sex tourism though!

Hey don't hate on Brazil's for being soo sexy.
Sex sells...something tells me Brazil knows this!
