I guess there's some element of "local news" with these, since Vitor's Brazilian, but there's nothing particular about the content of the story that seems especially Brazilian - it's just a technique to avoid a class of email-related errors (and was evaluated, in fact, on the Enron corpus, which is all English.) It's interesting that language is as much of a barrier as it appears to be for the spread of high-tech news.
