Or a case of cross-cultural unintended communications?
Regardless, look the official logo for the World Cup in Brazil and tell me that isn’t a face-palm:
YIKES! “@hollybrocks: CANNOT UNSEE: the Brazil 2014 logo has been criticised for “looking like a facepalm” pic.twitter.com/Iapnm5TkU5”

That’s just marvelous. Brazil’s contribution to bad logo design. 😀
PS: If anyone happens by this cobwebby corner of the Internet, is the face-palm a gesture of embarrassment in Brazil? Or is this something a Brazilian would just not have noticed?
