# Talk:Taubaté pregnancy hoax

This may just be a freakish coincidence, but they both have the same last name, look somewhat similar (at least to me), are both Brazilian (George’s parents were born in Brazil, although I’m not sure if they came from Taubaté or not), and of course, they are both infamous for lying/hoaxing the public. It’s probably a coincidence given how huge Brazil is, but you never know. LonelyBoy2012 (talk) 04:32, 23 February 2024 (UTC)

Santos is a common as fuc.k last name in Brazil. Every "pé rapado" walking down the streets may be a Santos, Silva, Souza 2804:388:C359:F7B7:7C38:DED:ECC7:CD64 (talk) 14:31, 23 February 2024 (UTC)

By the way, the film is probably a hoax as well—"Diaraki" is a phonetic spelling of "de araque", which in Portuguese means exactly the same as "de Taubaté" (phony, bogus, or fake). I'd refrain from mentioning it in an unqualified manner as the article does now. Fvasconcellos (t·c) 05:45, 23 February 2024 (UTC)

I agree. All news article relating to the film contain the same text. Frank Diarati doesn't get any search hits, except a defunct Instagram account. And nothing on IMDb. Jesus automatic (talk) 07:39, 23 February 2024 (UTC)
Diaraki is not the director's actual surname, just a nickname/pseudonym. I've added quotation marks to make that clearer. Not all news articles have "the same text" and there are news about an actress that was invited to play Maria, weeks after the film was first announced. Skyshiftertalk 14:37, 23 February 2024 (UTC)
