Look at this, it's genuine. I found it on the internet (where else?)

It is extremely difficult for foreigners to get a job in Brazil. Your best chance is to look for an employer from your own country and see, whether they have an opening in Brazil. The difficulty is getting a work permit. This applies to all foreigners. Even if the company from your home country offers you a job, the time of your work permit will be limited. Your company is obliged to train, side by side with you, a Brazilian applicant for your job. Once this applicant is trained, your work permit will no longer be renewed. As a consequence, there are only two ways for being able to permanently live and work in Brazil:(1) You can either deposit the equivalence of $200,000 in an account of the National Bank of Brazil, to show that you have sufficient funding to start your own company, or, (2) you can have a child with a Brazilian girl, marry her and then get a residence permit.

Now that's all well and good, but I might find it difficult to have a child with a Brazilian girl for biological reasons. Besides, I don't want a child. And I don't want to get married. I'm very open-minded about most things, but this smacks of using people, and I really wouldn't want to do that. I'm sure that your average "Brazilian girl" wouldn't want to have a child with me, either. People clearly have very odd ideas about women. It suggests that "Brazilian girls" are just waiting around to have children with foreigners. This shows a distinct lack of respect for half of the human race. Maybe the advert is just meant to disgust you enough to put you off looking for work in Brazil. Maybe.
