(Preview) Visit Brazil | Honest Government Ad
Dear Patrons
Here is the preview for our latest Honest Government Ad.
This is our very first South American HGA, and it's dedicated to a government that has proven to be a true leader in Shitfuckery, up there with the likes of Scott Morrison's - Bolsonaro's Brazil.
There is of course a reason for why I chose this topic now:
Brazil has an election coming up very soon - in October - and it's probably one of the most important elections of this decade, given that it will not only affect Brazilians, but also the fate of the Amazon rainforest - which of course is critical to the well being of the planet. The Amazon has just passed a tipping point (one of a number of tipping points humanity is about to trigger), and there's bugger-all chance it will survive another term of a Bolsonaro government. So I figured an HGA was in order!
I'm proud to have collaborated on this HGA with a local Brazilian - Sabrina Fernandes - a badass academic, activist, writer and YouTuber.
Sabrina and I co-wrote this HGA and I'm stoked that she also accepted my invitation to do the voice-over. Which I love; as it feels like genuine collaboration with a local from the country whose government we're impersonating.
I'm also really enjoying experiment with the HGA format - mixing things up a bit, branching out, focusing on other governments and drawing the shitfuckery connections between them - all while we observe the shifting political landscape here in Australia.
Speaking of Australia, fear not - the next HGA will bring us back home after our little world tour!
I'll be back soon with the video. In the meantime, check out this preview, and let me know if you have any feedback while I finish the editing!
Thank you as always for supporting our work.

I posted the full version via Facebook to my cousin Fernando Neisser in Brazil. Hope you are making a Brazilian version.
Good one!
Up to your usual high standards. I hope you've made a Portuguese language version for native Brazilians to enjoy(?).
It's a good idea, I'll ask Sabrina if she's up for it!
Next on your list needs to be Borneo ! This is really well done, I'm interested in seeing the visuals with this one, you could scare the crap out of people (and you should do TBH!!) Another great job by JM!
Kinda bet the CIA has been in Brasil for years.
Awesome work. Congratulations on calling out the Shitgibbon of Brasil.
Thanks Scott - it was a long time coming!
The lunacy of inhuman power, corruption and greed appears to know no limit Sabrina and Giordano. The exquisite value of the Amazon, that was, knew no limit either. The Oscar Wilde quote where ‘we know the cost of everything and the value of nothing’, couldn’t be more timely or apt. Killing our Sustainer. Bravo for branching out both creatively and internationally Juice Media. The planet has no borders.
Thank you Sandra! And well said. Shitfuckery has no borders either
Muito bem! Sabrina fiz um trabalho maravilhoso nessa gravação.
sim, muito!
Even one cubic fuckton sounds like a lot. Well done!
You misspelled Sabrina's surname in your message. It is: Fernandes (not Ferenandes). I'm only pointing this out in case the same error appears in the credits of the HGA video. Greetings from Spain (on holidays). :-)
Ahh thanks Benito! I've fixed it now, and yes - best I double check the credits just to be sure! Enjoy your holidays!
Great work as always, reminds me of Eating Our Way to Extinction
Ouch! Great work.
i'm shivering - it's so terrifying. thank goodness for your work.
That's the Brazilian Govt
Could you slip in that they have announced a 3 day of mourning for the death of the British queen!
very good; could you do a Portuguese language version; it would be much appreciated :)
and you don't need to do the video, just the audio in Portuguese would be great so I can promote it to my Portuguese and Brasilian friends :)
Ah man, it hurts how pointedly accurate you are. This is a brilliant work ❤️
Great choice of target, and a great job as always. Just listening scared the shit out of me - the full deal will be devastating. Thanks guys, for being our voice. Correction, you amplify our voices (with humour and snark).
