Press Reviews there's only people reviews yet (which is the best) that i'll poorly reproduce: "eh pá, ou já estou muita bezano, ou tou mesmo a curtir esta cena", "... mas aquela tocou mesmo cá dentro...", "grande concerto!", "este foi melhor...", "oh primo, mas o que é que tu ias fazer ao custódio? um animal tão belo e não sei mais o quê...", "parecias daqueles dementes a ter um ataque" (...) ok, enough (self-) flattering.
