An awesome lady named Martha Fischer sent me a link to a BMW commercial featuring Kermit the Frog.

Some South
American countries will soon be getting their own
Desperate Housewives. Buena Vista Television Latin America
is creating Spanish and Portuguese versions of the hit ABC show, complete with their own casts. The Spanish version,
called
Amas de Casas Desesperades, will air in Colombia, Argentina, and Ecuador while the Portuguese version,
called
Donas de Casas Desesperades will air in Brazil. Buena Vista says the soap opera-like show is so similar
to the Spanish telenovelas that it's bound to be a big hit. There are some cultural differences that will be changed in
the show. For instance, the Spanish creators of the show said they'll have to change the occupation of the 'Mike'
character because, in South America, there's no way a plumber would live in an exclusive community. Hey, what is that
plumber doing there anyway?
