In Brazil all of the journalistic texts followed the same pattern. They made reference to the innovations of the product of Aple and some reproduced what the CEO of the company talked about the iPhone 4. They are not propaganda texts but they work as such, because they sharpen the reader's curiosity. When reproducing the mantras carefully built and published by Aple and for Steve Jobs, the Brazilian journalistic texts prepared land for the direct attack of the propaganda to a base of consumers in potential that they already received several information on the product.

In Brazil, propaganda generates obligation, responsibility and it carts compensation for material and moral damage. It is what consists of our Code of Defense of the Consumer.

"Article 30. All information or publicity, sufficiently needs, transmitted by any form or middle of communication regarding products and offered services or presented, it forces the supplier that it makes her to transmit or of her if it uses and it integrates the contract to come to be been celebrated.

Article 31. The offer and presentation of products or services should assure correct information, whites, necessary, ostensible and in Portuguese language on their characteristics, qualities, amount, composition, price, warranty, validity periods and origin, among other data, as well as on the risks that present to the health and the consumers' safety.

................................................................................................................................

Article 35. If the supplier of products or services refuse execution to the offer, presentation or publicity, the consumer will be able to, alternatively and to it free choice:

I - to demand the forced execution of the obligation, in the terms of the offer, presentation or publicity;

II - to accept other product or installment of equivalent service;

III - to cancel the contract, with right to the restitution of the amount pays, with indexation, and to losses and damages."



Although the Brazilian Law doesn't specifically treat of the subject, it is not discarded the possibility to make responsible the announcer or of the organ that published the information or propaganda of the product with defect. What would be happened hundreds of thousands of these iPhones it, intensely done publish in the Brazilian internet and what are not recommended nor in the USA for Consumer Reports, did they arrive to the Brazilian consumers' hands? The problems would be the same ones announced in the USA, but the lawsuits would not block the USA Judiciary and yes the Brazilian Judiciary.

The journalists are not parrots and they should not act as if they were parrots. But exactly this that was happened in this case in Brazil. In reason of they reproduce the mantras published by Aple and Steve Jobs several Brazilian journalists sank with TitanicPhone4. The press has to be responsible. It cannot criticize the slowness of the Brazilian Judiciary and to run the risk of helping to create hundreds of thousands of new lawsuits because of the intense popularization of innovative products as this fucking problematic cellular .
