Translated in Google, as published in the news site: http://cinema.terra.com.br/comiccon/2010/noticias/0,,OI4581896-EI16825,00-Declaracao+de+Stallone+revolta+brasileiros+que+promovem+boicote.html
Statement from Stallone revolt Brazilians, which promotes boycott.
The controversial statement that the star Sylvester Stallone has made this Thursday (22) - that the Terra has first-hand in the press - has caused revolt among Brazilian Internet users.

On Twitter, the name of the star ended up in first place in the ranking of the world's biggest names typed after a group of Internet has promoted the "Shut-up Sylvester Stallone," movement similar to "Shut-up Galvão," which puzzled even international newspapers given the power of social media.

In Brazil, the phrase "Cala Boca Sylvester Stallone"(Shut-up Sylvester Stallone) is already the most "Twited" in social media.

Many Internet users are also asking for a boycott of the long The mercenaries, who had scenes filmed in Rio de Janeiro, and has planned debut in Brazil in August 13.

Bad taste Jokes
Prompted by the moderator of the event, Harry Knowles, owner of the famous site Is not It Cool News, Stallone joked with Brazil, and finally showed his true discontent with filming in Rio de Janeiro.

"Film in Brazil was good, because we kill people, blow up everything and they (the Brazilians) say thank you," says Sylvester Stallone.

After suggesting problems with the film crew (about 65 people), in an interview last week, and even mention the subject in official material about the film, director and actor turned violence into local joke by mentioning that it was necessary a group of 70 security guards to ensure the well being of your team.

Moreover, said the BOPE's symbol "The policemen there wear T-shirts with a skull, two arms and a dagger stuck in the middle, can you imagine if the Los Angeles police officers to wear it? It shows how problematic is that place."

The dirty laundry ended with a mention of the fact that "we have blown up several buildings, everyone was happy and even brought hot dogs to enjoy the fire."
